Now we have the Beoplay A1, the A2, the A3 and the A6, A8 and the A9.

What will be next?

And when?

Sems that moving up in the figures is moving up in prize and size as well.

What do you miss?

If the prize (not the size) is lower than that of the (Beoplay) A6 a I'll go for one too.

You certainly should not expect that in a Beoplay device.

They could have named the A2 Active the Q2 in honour of the ugliest car in its market sector.

My guess as to what will be next, the:

BeoPlay A3.14159265359

Similar to the BeoPlay A1, but bigger.  The size and shape of a pie with colored grills on the top in:

Cherry, Blueberry, Apple, Pumpkin and possibly more in future years!  Perfect for the kitchen!

Codenamed "the String", the new BeoPlay BeoCord was released last night after a certain forum members noticed an unannounced over-the-air upgrade free of charge provided by his girlfriends dog.

The all-new BeoCord has all the functions you would expect from a regular cord but the BeoCord introduces something never seen in a cord before: haptic feedback.

Yes, you read right. Haptic feedback is what Bang&Olufsen hopes will revolutionize how we use our cords today.

The BeoCord has a nice clicky feel to it, and it features not one but three haptic feedback devices.

We expect more insight on how this fantastic device is built and how user repairable it is once the guys over at iFixit gets their hand on one.

Demands will be off the chart on this one, so be quick if you want to get one.

The new Beoplay A 0, also nicknamed the "A Hole" advertised in GQ and Conde Nast specifically to appeal to the young, hip, shallow, crowd! Also holds a can of surf wax in the base so the owner can sit around waxing their own board while listening. Stick out tongue

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad

Honestly I think it the a1 and a2 is doing very well.
Playing better and louder then other products in that size.
I also see the most development in the acoustic in this products even though they are cheap. 

The A3 and A8 is dead right? and that's good in regards to A3 that was an ugly product.

For me it seems that the acoustic engineering team is been giving more possibilities in this products.
Maybe with the exception of the 90. 

I would like something between A6 and A9 where the acoustic is challenged more and but the multiroom is still possible.
Call it the A7 and make it just a little bit bigger than A6 maybe little more expensive but with more capability. 

I would like to see a tree to four A1, acoustic systems, combined into an beolab 3 replacement.
I think it would be able to play louder, maybe better? - Hope that someone at the factory is up to try it.

Because in the core line I guess Beolab 3, 5 is the next in line. And hopefully a proper subwoffer

It seems that it will be 'something headphone' - to judge from the people on the go in the small video.

Something in the H range, not in the A range.

I would finally love to see an alternative to the Sonos Play 1 range: small with multiroom functionality. Something to place in 'less important' areas of the house, where sound quality isn't the main concern (hallways, guest bath etc.). I think the Beosound 1 is overkill for those areas (and difficult to place because of the form factor), the Beoplay A6 is way too big for that.

actually, on second thought, they should keep the form factor of the S3 and just add multiroom functionality...

Something in the H range, not in the A range.

I was in Munich with a friend recently and we went in to the B&O store. He commented on how many variations of headphones B&O have on the market at the moment. It's true, they do. Very confusing. H2, H6, H7, H8 and soon H9.

If the rumours l have heared are correct this will going to happen in Q1 ,17.

It will look like a higher A1 with multiroom functionality! Price about โ‚ฌ600.

Thats all I know.
