Poll: Do you have a rattling Halo? Please respond here.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2022 19:04[quote user="TWG"] NOT having an OLED screen is a big PRO for the Halo and a very good decision from B&O! LCD live much longer, has no burn in problems, stay readable in direct sunlight (depending on the used LCD variant…
Poll: Do you have a rattling Halo? Please respond here.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2022 20:46I don’t have one mainly due to it not having an oled screen. It simply looks so old with a backlit black and white bad contrast screen. Hope the next generation will be better!
End of audio systems from B&O?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 5, 2021 15:00I haven’t used a CD or vinyl as primary medium for decades now. I mainly play music from my phone or other computers. The music however is reproduced by the magical speakers from Bang & Olufsen and I don’t think that is …

Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 11, 2021 11:04Yea they are sadly very reluctant to sharing such info. Weird as these speakers are such special beats and a lot of users probably would LOVE to know. Anyway, they did include a text for the iOS app, but only this "Dummy…
Beolab 50 firmware update June 2021
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 11, 2021 09:41Hello friends, Just saw my Beolab 50 had a new firmware available to update. I was on 3.0.0.616 and updated to 3.1.0.1001. So far I haven't seen any differences except that the web-UI is dated 2021-06-03 and that I can s…
Wooden beoremote one
in General Discussion & Questions · May 15, 2021 15:49Been curious about making my own frame for the BeoRemote one. Instead of the aluminum models I’m considering making one out of wood at work where we have wood carving machinery. I’m a bit surprised B&O hasn’t done one as…
Sound profile - a perspective on comparing Beolab 9 with Beolab 20
in General Discussion & Questions · May 6, 2021 21:15[quote user="elephant"][quote user="elephant"] Michael: Listen to interstellar soundtrack, particularly ‘Stay’. I love the movie even though it is very fiction. The sound track is a really good example of Hans Zimmer and…
Beolab 28
in General Discussion & Questions · May 4, 2021 21:58As far as I know the beolab 28 has a front facing tweeter that probably is pretty wide anglewise in sound but nowhere near 180 degree as the ALT lenses can produce. The 28 has two midrange so believe that are directed to…
Beolab 28
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2021 14:48[quote user="Sandyb"] I'd say they 28's are good value for their 10-11k price. My school of thought is / was a bit different - I never wanted to change speakers again, and my ears like a huge soundstage, so its like I wa…

Streaming Audio Quality, Harmony vs Core
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2021 14:27Interesting to hear. When using airplay there is a kind of compression going on as all sounds are conveyed to Apple lossless. I think, it differs a bit in airplay 2. When using Spotify for example I suggest to use the sp…
Streaming Audio Quality, Harmony vs Core
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2021 13:49Nice to hear your reflections and that my input maybe wasn’t as bad as some other people yelled at me it was :). When using a core with beolab 50 then you should use the optical input which then means the core sends a di…

in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2021 13:20[quote user="CB"] Hi It was the same concept for the BL5 (with a woofer THAT big ) and no vibrations issues. [/quote] A friend of mine said his neighbors complained much more about his beolab 5 than 50s, probably due to …
Beolab 50 Toe-in
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 28, 2021 10:39I have my speakers toed in as well but only a little. This is to focus the center of the tweeters peak to my optimal seating position. I also want them to spread sound as wide as possible and for that they should be less…
Should I change my Beovision 7-55 mark2 to an Eclipse 55?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 23, 2021 12:33One thing I really miss with a “real” beovision is the anti glare glass. My oled eclipse is really horrible at glare. I have to close my blinds all the time as it is incapable of removing even the smallest light reflecti…
