B&O News
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 08:28Well, as you may have seen in other threads - it's about five years since I posted here, having been a founding member back in 18-whatever-it-was. Looks like it will be another five years before I post again. Jeeez... Th…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 07:47[quote user="tournedos"] No it's not. [/quote] Yes it is. Here's what I wrote: "but Apple do not grant licences to decode Apple Lossless on their devices" I wrote what I wrote in the edit at the same time as the bit you …

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 07:41Which is what I already wrote above. Not sure why you're getting so upset. How does this constitute a 'degneration' of the discussion?

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 07:15[quote user="tournedos"] Not a problem at all if they openly license it! [/quote] No indeed, but my point was that Phil seemed to be saying that B&O haven't licensed Apple Lossless because they'd need to pay for it where…

Your latest purchase?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 05:59I love my 3i so far. The sound is great and the finish is as good as my old Earset 3 but I know what you mean about the rubber being more shiny and cheaper looking than the original A8s. The aluminium parts seems as good…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 05:29An Earset 3i on Monday. First B&O purchase in five years!
B&O News
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 05:26It's just that the glacial pace of B&O design and R&D meant that the Beosound 8, B&O's first venture into Apple dock products years after others had been on the market, meant that it was released just as Apple announced …
B&O News
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2011 04:59Do we know this for sure mbee? What about the three products under the black cloths in the presentation? They didn't state explicitly one way or the other what these were or whether they might be collaborative products. …
B&O News
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 17, 2011 07:03I want tighter integration with iTunes without the need for separate media server software. And support for Apple lossless. Then the BS5 Encore begins to look more attractive. When I visited my dealer on Monday and we we…
Sloppy proof-reading and a lack of attention to detail
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 16, 2011 11:15I ventured into my dealer for the first time in, ooh, about five years yesterday. I bought a new Earset 3i which I'm very pleased with, having been crying out for a B&O earset with a volume control for some time. I took …
Earset 3i : placebo effect?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 15, 2011 17:11I got a pair today and they're definitely a bit bassier than even my Earset 3, which in turn were bassier than my rather ancient A8s. Very happy!

Earset 3i : placebo effect?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 13, 2011 09:59A quick question moxxey - does the Earset 3i have that annoying 'round the back of the neck' arrangement for the wires (as on the earset 3) or do they just hang down equally from each ear? Thanks
Earset 3i : placebo effect?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 13, 2011 09:55I don't know but I would have though that the microphone hole is in the same place as on other iPhone headsets - on the other side of the remote unit
Earset 3i : placebo effect?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2011 15:47Good to hear that the cables have indeed been changed. I wonder why B&O told me that they were the same as the Earset 3? Still, I'm not complaining.
Earset 3i : placebo effect?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2011 13:50Certainly my Earset 3 had better bass than my A8s so I don't think it's a placebo. Unfortunately though, I emailed B&O to ask if the 3i has better cable material that doesn't turn brittle and stiff after a few months. Sa…
Beosound 5 Encore is here...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 27, 2011 06:21The user getting a phone call/calendar reminder/text doesn't stop the music from playing so it's not really an interruption. Furthermore, the improved notification system in the soon-to-be-released iOS5 wouldn't even sto…
Beosound 5 Encore is here...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 26, 2011 08:37So if I install Twonky on my iMac, what does the Encore 'see' and display on its screen? Will it display all the album art? Also, does the Encore (or original Beosound 5 for that matter) have the facility to set up wake …
