How are Bang & Olufsen doing

I like some of the new products that have come out recently but my mum who is danish was reading an article saying that they don't seem to be doing so well is this true?

There is a recent thread around their profit warning for this quarter. Seems to be a supply chain issue rather than a demand issue.

There was a whole thread about this some days ago.

In short: there are 'ups' and 'downs' - at the moment we see a 'down'.

Although it won't be an easy job for B&O, most people here - however - are quite optimistic for the future.

Cheers guys, It will be interesting I see a lot of old customers not wanting to buy the newer products. I hope the new audio product will be a winner

The new Avant is selling well - pretty well, indeed!

I think Mk 3-4 Avant's will be classics which will only get more popular as UHD becomes more mainstream. The Beolit 15 will resolve the only issue on what is a fine sounding and rather unique device. If they just tweak the A2 it could top the charts for the trendies and bloggers, and yes that's important.

The H2 headphones sound and feel fantastic, and with their more bass pronounced sound, appeal to a wider audience I believe. I personally prefer them over our H6's because of that.

With UHD panels becoming the norm and reasonably cheap, why hasn't the 11 seen an upgrade? That would polish off a very good upgrade programme.

Looking forward to the Encore.

Happy new year

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

And here's a 2015 reply

Oops beat you with that too

Happy New Year M🌲M

I agree Chris.

I was told yesterday (last year ) that the new device (the metal man purse - I forget it's number) has been the fastest and best selling B&O product ever.

That is it has already surpassed in volume all previous products.

Sony, Pioneer, Samsung etc have respectfully all had a bad financial year in 2014 even Phillips have rented their name to other consumer electronic producers .....

Actually I can't remember anyone making a profit in 2014 apart from a small tea shop in Wiggin.

BUT B&O Play is kicking off 2015 in the right direction...
