If you like the Limestone colour:

There's also Plum and Terracotta shades to choose from. Interesing how the A1 was excluded from the new colours.
Thought you guys would be equally as excited as me.
Love, love, love, the shots of Marrakesh, i'm but mostly underwhelmed by new colours of anything, unless it induces a geewizz moment owing to super bold colour moves. That being said, terracotta is quite inspired! It's nice to see they have budget to spend on the marketing like this! Sits nicely with some of the super on point publications in the Hearst and Condé Nast stables...

I notice one guy on social media said that the BeoPlay models look bored and uninspired. Absolutely not having that. They look inspired.
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"

Some might prefer they spent more money on software development and less on marketing. Just saying.
At least the models aren't so sexy and attractive they detract from the products.

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

I've had my hair died Limestone with Terracotta tips to match my new Headphones!
Ban boring signatures!

Meh, I am ahead of the game, the years have made my hair more limestone!

Alas, I was merely being flippant - in order to have matching headphones I'll have to wait for the high-gloss fleshtone model!
Since it seems like the A2 has quietly been discontinued, I'm afraid the A1 is going away soon as well.
Is the new P6 really that good?

Looks that way. I can't even find the SS18 A1 colours in some retail outlets. Without a single AW18 colour, looks like it's on the way out. Shame as it's probably one of the strongest small speakers in the range. Could have done with a v2 update though.

Yeah absolutly, the A1 is a speaker I would recommend everyone to buy when asked what portable BT speaker is "the best", the size vs sound quality is so good.
I really love my A2, but think it's just a bit too large as a portable for most people, which is a shame for someone like me that is willing to lug the thing around for better sound quality.
I haven't heard the P6 yet, it probably sounds great, but I think it looks like crap compared to A1 and A2, or P2. I've been thinking if I should get a used A2 Active, just as a backup or for the future

I hear you my brother! I face the same issue, I'm getting too tall for my hair!
When I lived in Florida there was this kind of "Hair Club For Men" place that did hair restoration, every time you drove by it the parking lot was full of convertible sports cars, most of them red (no kidding), all mid life crisis mobiles.

I agree Howzit, kind of bored and depressed looking models. Maybe the campaign is "If you are a nihilist and are just rigid with ennui, then B&O is the brand for you!"

That's a Meme, right there.
It's "Facepalm" - a bit like the Jean Luc Picard one...
Oops... may have ordered a pair of terracotta H9is 😏
Jon: Oops... may have ordered a pair of terracotta H9is 😏
I hope you received your H9s.
Via DPD!
i ordered a new Katherine Hamnett sweatshirt a while back but the package was swapped by DPD for a box of phone connectors which were left on the doorstep , no signature.
maybe your delivery driver was wearing a new sweatshirt....

The sweatshirt I ordered was the last one in black but they sent me a blue replacement. DPD have been useless. I bought my H4 from the B&O shop, but that closed. I prefer buying face to face where possible.
I'm really pleased with the H4 headphones. Great wireless function , sound and beautifully made. None in the charity shop that occupy the old B&O shop yet!
