Hi,as the colors are getting better I want to know if the dealers can order replacement parts for those speakers?I currently have an A1 in black and I like the charcoal sand more! But I don't want to buy a new speaker only because of the color. :-)And I want to paint my A2, too. But I need a spare part BEFORE experimenting So, can I buy that removable aluminium part from B&O?
But does anybody know for sure if these parts are available? Is a Beoplay product just a disposable article? I thought it should be possible to replace the speaker covers as I won't be the only person on earth that want to exchange it!? :-)Does it mean that I even can't replace the earpads of my H6 if they are worn out?

It's a £199 item, in regards to an A1. Even my TV speaker is more expensive. I'd very much doubt dealers can or are even interested in buying BeoPlay plastic parts - my dealer barely cares about BeoPlay products at all, never mind parts.
Maybe just sell yours to someone else and buy a new one in the colour you want?
I'm sure a part number is available, and therefore order-able.
Whether dealers care about BeoPlay products is irrelevant. Form 2 foam covers are replaceable, S3 covers are replaceable, and even [OEM] replacement wires exist for Earphones (Earset 3i) . If a part number exists, a dealer can order it for you (pending physical availability, of course)... best to just call your local shop. I've even gotten part numbers directly from B&O via a quick e-mail.
Personally, I think I would want the part numbers for my H8/H9 earpads as you also mentioned.
But as moxxey suggests, it can also just be a question of opportunity cost - is $50(USD) really worth it to replace the cover of a $250 item? Depends, I guess.
Having the experience of working at a B&O store, you are not able to order majority of parts for BeoPlay but just headphone leather and sponge earpads, cables and on BeoLit and A2; just the strap. Like A1, you are not even able to order the leather strap, of course the grill is not available for order. This can be due to a few reasons, the grill on A1 is expensive because of the fabric in it, those fabrics are water resistant and very special. Also the grill can be dented easily when dropped, meaning the dents will get it out of warranty because of "visible physical damage". So if everyone could easily replace those grills, then it could be easily claimed for warranty.
Hi
As a dealer I can confirm that we are able to order the plastic speaker covers for the Beoplay A2. The colours available are: Black, Green, Grey and Natural.
It is not possible to order replacement aluminium speaker covers for the Beoplay A1.

Thank you for clarifying!

Less if you look on Groupon - if you want the grey A2, it's only £147! https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/bang-and-olufsen-bluetooth-speaker-9
And that's the newer 'active' version, too.
Bought for me as gifts so new ones not an option. Are they 50 usd then?
Hi sir,I wanted to know if you've found a way to buy the plastic speaker covers for the beoplay A2 ?
If yes, can you tell me where to provide it ?
Thank you for your answer.

As Opman wrote, the A2 covers are available as spares.
however, if you are asking because you want to change the color, you will be disappointed doing so. As the plastic covers do not split right at the aluminum but at the absolute outer contour of the A2. so there will be a stripe left of the original color.
