Does anyone know what it is? From the very brief teaser video, it looks like it may be Bluetooth earbuds, as a best guess.

I noticed this. I was going to pull the trigger on another pair of AW17 H5's and then that came through. Anyone have any ideas?
With the category’s increasing ubiquity, it’s an obvious gap in the current headphone range. Hopefully not just wishful thinking!
Could it be the M5 speakers little brother?

Chris Hassell:Bluetooth buds I reckon. Quite exited if they're a viable alternative to Apple's AirPods as I'm most likely going to move to a headphone jack-less iPhone next month!
Very doubtful Chris although I hope I am wrong because it would be B&O every time for sound reproduction for me. But I don't believe they have the resources to throw at a W1 chip for example that Apple do.
Their money would be better spent on researching product design... which they certainly need to! I would stop using Lewis Designers and make a fresh start with new, young up and coming designers working alongside universities developing groundbreaking projects collaboratively and funding that research. I can't help but feel they are so stuck in the past and almost 'nervous' to try something new.
B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.

I think it could be easily possible for B&O to produce wire-free earbuds as there are quite a few other companies doing the same: https://www.hearfuse.com
Earin has pre-announced their M-2 which is supposed to be fantastic: https://earin.com/m2/
Let's face it, BeoPlay now has enough cash to buy a company such as Earin, in my opinion. Would be the easiest option to move in to this market.

Interesting Chris, I didn't know of these products.
So, we’re still none the wiser? Are we really going to have to wait another 16 hours or so to find out? It’s intolerable! ;)

Oh. I thought you were replying to BAND’OH. Do you know anything else?

Chris Townsend:4 hours playback at moderate level, so about an hour in reality let's be honest.
Hi,
What about the new Ford with the Beoplay sound system?

Duels:Probably. What do AirPods offer in real world listening?
So, nowadays B&O focusses only on rebadging products... very "innovative"... Beoplay E8 = Samsung Gear Icon X ?https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/30/samsung-gear-iconx-2018-ifa-2017/
AngloApulian: Duels: Probably. What do AirPods offer in real world listening? I can't remember, but I do know that the AirPods carrying case also charges them/keeps them charged in your pocket. No mention if the B&O carrying case does this.

They do. You get two charges from the case.

Interesting - announced. But not available until October?!

I said that above - B&O were either going to buy a company/product or re-badge another. No way they had the in-house tech to produce an E8 themselves.
Product ‘launches’ where you can’t buy the product for six weeks are the very worst kind of product launches.
jonnyb:Product ‘launches’ where you can’t buy the product for six weeks are the very worst kind of product launches.
Totally. I had my wallet at the ready this morning. Now, they’ll be coming out after I’ve blown my budget on a new iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV next month!

I think it's because Sony and others released their earbuds this week and B&O didn't want to be left behind.
I just came here to post the same thing! I’m just looking at Sony’s promo videos for their new range. ANC in a pair of earbuds would be perfect for hot summer commuting.

Interesting.... wasn't the Beosound 6 also a re-branded (rebadged) Samsung product?
Anyway... I'm a little confused about the 'transparency' mode. Does this mean they have some sort of noise cancellation circuitry, or are they more like IEM's that can virtually isolate external noise via the ear tip seals?
I think the only intriguing aspect for me (at this time) would be the elimination of cable noise that can still be experienced in the H5's.
There will also be a new multiroom speaker called 'Beoplay M3'. However maybe this product will be introduced later this year. It is already for a month on FCC listing so wonder thy nobody else spotted it.

This is how it might look like, seen from the bottom of the product.
