Just received an email advising of the following new colour options:

A1 - black and deep red

H5 - moss green

H7 - cocoa brown

H8 - deep red

A6 - moss green (cover)

They are on the Play website now; available In store and online "soon" apparently.

Definitely going to go for an A1 in one of these colours myself.

I really love the moss green A6 cover and H5's.

Some decent colours.

Looks great. Fab website design too. It would be nice if you could change the colour of the leather strap on the A1. The black would look even better with the original tan strap.

I'll definitely be getting the deep red H8.

I'm surprised that there isn't a new offering for the A2. The A2 in deep red would be nice.

I love that B&O is having these limited editions. Great for collecting. Also nice to have choices to coordinate with one's outfit or mood.

Beogreg, I think the red on the A1 is a rose colour? That would match my new rose gold MacBook :) :) :) (my gold MacBook sadly died after 14 months of business use and Apple offered a refund!).

Picking up a black a1 tomorrow Big Smile from Sheffield B&O.

The dark red on the h8s is sort of a burgundy colour. Quite a dusky tone. Definitely not brown or red.

Have you seen the A8 in person? Have you been told when dealers will have them available?

Sheffield had one pair in green delivered today which I bought. Also one black A1-likewise, one red A1 which I didn't buy and one pair of red H8s which they sold yesterday. I suspect initial quantities may be limited.

Yeah it's great in real life. It Looks and feels quality. I can see it travelling everywhere with me work and play including in the rucksack. 600g is bearable.

To be honest the leather strap should be easy to replace with a rough square profile leather boot lace if you wanted to. I don't think you'd tell the difference. The B&O logo should just thread through.

I am a man of many devices Paul. Depends what I'm doing at the time. But I totally understand your love of MacBooks. Just about to treat our head of design to a new MacBook Pro 15" which looks beautiful. Bought a 27" iMac the other day which literally had people standing round cooing.

Duels the NEW MacBook Pro is launched in OCTOBER WAIT for the all new design!!!!!!

Now that the A1 is available in black, i'm wondering if RAPHA will release it with the pink strap like they did with the H6. Now that WOULD make sense with it being a portable device! 

iMac sounds great Duels. Can't wait for your opinion on the A1 especially as you are used to the BL18s so it's going to take some impressing :)

Paul, you should find the dark red A1 matches/complements your MacBook. Saw one today and It's definitely got rose tones to it. Think a darker version of the metal grille on the BL15. This is the product for you I suspect.

Duels thank you for the info about the rose gold :) Yes, the brand new MacBook Pro is released in October. Skylake update & brand new design. I'm sure that it will be incredible!

Duels, thanks for the photos of the H5 and the A1. The A1 looks good in black. I think I will look out for the H5 in the green - it seems it takes ages for stock to arrive here lol.

I think the A1 looks good next to your Dell computer. My work computer is a Toshiba and it's not a bad device considering how much I chuck it around and actually do with it.

The A1 came in to its' own when I was running a national conference call and the meeting room I had booked had no conf phone - everyone was like what the heck is that device :-)

I suspect you will love the A1 and even compared to the 18s - it's a different device for a different purpose. It's easy to chuck (protected) in to your bag. I find that when I am playing the a1 the sound is better when you step away from the A1 rather than be right on top of it.

I'd love to hear if other people have tried going for a run in the street with the H5 and how they found it.

Don't know about running in the street .. however walking, the H5 has "no" BT receiptions issues compared to the H8.

I now use the H5 on a daily basis.

I am seriously impressed with the A1. Immense sound from such a small device. Not tried the H5 yet. Later at the gym......

I love the A1 too. Was listening to it this morning. I tried to set the 2 up with the iMac. I think it's better as a stand alone and in the middle of a room. They're great little doovers.

Has anybody gotten the deep red A1 yet? I am considering an A1 for my bedroom and I think the silver or deep red is the color to go. Deep red might blend nicely with the wooden floors and white furniture I have in there. The silver one will do as well but I am afraid it will look a bit too techy.

Hi Michael.

I think you should go for the red. I saw it in the shop and I love it.

It will co ordinate well. It's a warm red.

Thanks for the advice. I will look at them both when I go shopping in a few days. I think more about the grey one now but red is interesting.

I'm looking forward to seeing the red one Michael. I'm thinking it could be more of a rose colour to match my rose gold MacBook. I love that colour variety. 

Hope you are excited for Thursday ;) ;) ;)

It will match the rose gold MacBook nicely Paul. Not the same colour but similar tone.

Thank you Duels. I'm concerned over the battery as the internet is full of people saying it lasts only 2 or 3 hours at a decent level. Certainly, some of the reviewers that I like have not been able to get anymore than 9 hours out of it. Hopefully B&O will fit a larger battery to it as their social media sites have people complaining about battery life on it too.

Having said that Duels, i've just got the iPhone 7 and the built in stereo speakers are very very nice. Great in the bathroom. I went for the 256GB version.

Nice. I was wondering when you'd get a new phone. Especially with support for the iPhone 4 and prior due to be withdrawn. Not heard the speakers in the 7 but I'm still convinced you would enjoy the A1. Battery life for me so far has been absolutely fine.
