As I'm planning my next vacation, I'm thinking about what necessities I need to pack in the Louis Vuitton luggage. My hazel grey BeoPlay 8 headphones for the flight....my green BeoPlay A2 speaker for the hotel.... maybe a second BeoPlay A2 (grey) for stereo sound in the hotel.... Where do we stop? It's all I can do to resist the temptation to pack my espresso machine. Still, we do need that extra luxury of our B&O sound wherever we go. Right? So what B&O are all of you packing when you travel?
A related question is: have any of you stayed in a hotel room that was already equipped with B&O? How was that experience?
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
In the early 90s I was staying in Le Meridien in Chicago, they had some B&O there, and a call to the floor waiter or the reception would bring you DVDs or CDs of your choice from a provided list, as I was as very busy important person (BIP or maybe PIB) I didnt reflect on it at that time.
Today I pack my 15 year old carry on with my Beolit 505 and enough rope for 5 days, if I need more I buy it, or let the hotel clean it, what is better start on the day than the early morning sun, fresh brewed coffee and quiet music on the balcony or the hotel terrace.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Chris Townsend:Off to the Florida Keys in July. The first things that's going in my bag, are my brown H8s and my A2.
Doing the identical but off to cooler Naaaarrrvada!
Aussie Michael:In my cobalt blue LV keep all I pack grey hazel H8 and green A2
That damier cobalt is NICE! I would love to see a pic of your hazel H8 and green A2 in it!

Simply headphones for a flight and iPhone for its camera. Holidays are a getaway and adventure - I really don't think B&O is needed on a holiday!!! Holidays are about seeing culture, customs & having fun and adventures! Leave the old B&O at home!
Duels:Black H8s, black and gold A2. There's a common theme developing...... Indeed. It seems that people actually ARE packing the A2 for travel. Oh and my H3s for something light by the pool

Good idea. The full headphones could get quite hot and sweaty.
I will have to buy another headphone case - if B&O does not (soon )come with a suitable bag/case for the A1.
There is a tv - and there is a BV
just my normal travel case and spare socks.....
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Just returned from two weeks overseas with my gold H3s - will be adding an A1 for next jaunt in June 😀
Aussie Michael:

I like to leave the B&O at home as you really appreciate it when you get home . Some hotel TVs are remarkable .

beojeff: Aussie Michael: Wow!
@Michael- I was just at Louis Vuitton today hoping to find your bag. All of my luggage is monogram canvas. I thought it might be nice to have something for contrast. Is your cobalt bag leather or treated canvas? It looks like leather from the pics. However, at my LV they only had the leather in a brighter blue called "neptune." They only had cobalt in the treated canvas.
Aussie Michael:@jeff It is leather. I bought this in the Paris store. It should be available. I decided on this colour over the orangy red.

@Michael. I agree about deciding against the orange red. The orange would clash with my red Porsche. These things are important!
Michael, The new A2 in the Ocean Blue would look great with that bag.
I usually only take my iPhone and H8 in a messenger bag on vacation because i hate the long security checks. Also I don't check any luggage. I allow myself the luxury of having my luggage shipped to my destination.

Duels:That bag is cool as.
Aussie Michael:Thanks. I love it too. Now I need a larger one. I have a Bally deer skin bag in dark brown which is so beautiful. That's my favourite brand I think. I only wear Bally shoes. I just bought a pair of Ox blood loafers the other night. And recently a pair of olive green Oxford scribes. I like shoes. If I wasn't a corporate person I think I would be a shoe creator.
