Hello, just found this : http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/130637-vertu-announces-headphones-and-wireless-speaker-that-bang-and-olufsen-helped-to-build 

I think that these headphones have something (a lot) from the Beoplay H6... To me they look like a small redesign of the H6 with the same luxurious soft leather, aluminium, and B&O technology.

So, could this Vertu compact speaker be a clone of the new Beoplay compact system to be announced soon?

The retail prices comparaison could give some hints as well : 490£ for V headphones, 330£ for H6, 400£ for V speaker, this could give less than 300£ for the next Beoplay compact speaker Unsure

Its not a box. But is meant to be very impressive, both in price and sound.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

I'm sure it's not a clone of any upcoming B&O Play system.

If B&O Play comes up with a new compact system , I hope it will be a different design than this.

Don't worry guys, what is or isn't coming doesn't look like what Vertu is offering. Big SmileStick out tongueWink B&O simply tuned that box, not designed it.

Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there

Good find Benoit :-)

I like the look of it.  If I had one of these it wouldn't look out of place in one of my rooms.  

Can't wait to see what the B&O one will look like - if they are actually doing one

It sounds like a Beolit 12 but with less bass.

I think BeoLit 12 is getting replaced since it has been on sale the whole summer for quite a low price.

The hardware is so outdated (network-wise).

Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, 
BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, 
BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, 
BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, 
BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)

So this is just like every other anniversary present then lol

Michael I have asked a dealer this exact question and they said it's not being replaced.  It is just normalising the price.
