If you care about quality you should never use bluetooth for audio to start.  Use Airplay and Apple Music or physical source.  Also Samsung and “quality” are rarely used in the same sentence 😉

The “New” prices might be comparable to products of old, I think the problem is they launched much cheaper and we watched the price climb over a couple years for the same product. It wasn’t the costs got that much higher for B&O to build. They were testing how much they can charge and still sell stuff. Also the colour variations are highway robbery.

I love the 18’s they are my fave B&O product ever. But they were also dumb speakers and I think B&O wants to move to all Mozart based products.  From my understanding the BL8’s sound just as good if not better than the 18’s but personally I think the 18’s looked much better.  Sorry to see them go.

He was a terrible CEO and I’m relieved they fired him. The price increases were totally offensive to long time customers and they totally wasted the 100 year anniversary.  Here is hoping the new CEO knows that B&O long time customers are important.

What exactly does it do? No instal or get stuck at a launch screen?

All versions including the new 7.4.0 beta work on my Mac mini M4 And Mac Studio M1 Max.

I think that would be a huge upgrade. from what I hear so far people love it.

Do you have an iOS device you can try airplaying it from?

[Severed_hand_of_skywalker]

where is it playing from?

It works fine for me on my M1 Max Studio and my M4 Mini. Maybe look to see if it hid some preference on your Mac which can linger even if you delete the app itself.

There is no Mac app. Anyone with a M1 or higher Mac can install the iPad version on their Mac.

Im gonna vote that there is next to no chance that these sound as good as AirPods Pro 3 let alone better. Apple has way more money and resources to develop devices like this.

Nice copy of the AirPods. Too bad they don’t have many of the same features and it costs 10x more.  Incredibly embarrassed for the company at this point with their pricing.

Im using 18’s as fronts and BL3 for rears. Sounds great but I want to replace the BL3’s with BL12.3 for more bass in the rear of the room.

Just FYI 7.01 is already being tested and fixes a lot of other problems.  Hopefully it addresses these issues as well.

Oh my god how they look and how much?  I was against black ones from B&O as it kills the vibe.

BS 9000. It still delights me every time I use it.

Everyone loves the 8’s so im sure you will be happy with them too.

I own one for years and I can confidently say that in my opinion it is the worst designed remote ever made by B&O and possibly others.

It’s not backlit. The buttons all look the same.  The layout of the buttons is totally illogical.  It’s impossible to use in the dark.  You cannot use it by feel either. The POWER OFF button is wedge between the volume buttons which is easy as hell to hit accidentally.  The most commonly used buttons are placed in the middle of the remote totally randomly, and again impossible to find in the dark or feel your way to it.  It is not rechargeable and to change the batteries you have to get a SIM card ejector and take it apart into fiddly 4 bits.

But ya. It looks pretty cool.  Until you try to use it.
