I'am interested in a Beoplay A1 but the B&O website show them (all) as "out of stock" and in a big french cultural/tech store network, they're all or unavailable or one or two available wth the old Beoplay grey package. In another store they were just demo items available…

So, do you think it is close to be renewed?

The A1 was featured in the new AW19 seasonal colours. Maybe an update will be presented?

Thank you for you answers.

I've spotted a dark grey one, can't remember the actual name of it.
Do you think they will be back or do news colors replace old ones forever?

Thanks.

To be fair, this isn't correct info - the core colours never go 'out of stock' for a seasonal colour update. They simply add those colours. Out of stock is more likely to imply an update/revision.

You can buy the A1 range for 30% off RRP on Amazon. Does anyone really buy these products full RRP from the B&O website?

I've checked before and again after reading your post: Theres' actually A1 starting at 190€ but you dont really have choice in colours. The dark grey I seek isn't there and the natural, which could be a good alternative is at the same price. From foreign amazon's, shipping costs and return policy would make the rebate not that interesting. So yes, I'm stuck with third party resellers at full price (maybe with 5% store discount if I'm lucky) and their low to non existent stock. And i dont want to buy in B&O shops, simply because they're not friendly here in Paris.

Hi

we can order all of the standard color black, natural also Seasonal summer collection, and the new coming autumn color. So strange that you cannot get the color you want in your country, maybe its sold out of stock in that specific market.

My goto website for B&O is: https://petertyson.co.uk/catalogsearch/result?q=BEOPLAY+A1&cat=

It would be easier to ask a friend in the UK to post it to you. Postage for an A1 would be around £8-10 across the EU.

Uuff, thats good prices, even in euros. Once again I believe we're not all equals when it comes to buy B&O Smile

Asking to a friend maybe not, but it worth have a week end in UK and order it then!

Thanks moxxey!

Seeing how busy London is recently, I think everyone across the Continent is shopping here at the moment. Wise idea!

Last week I spotted one at the Bilka at Viborg. A purple (?) A1 for just 1000kr. Around the €135,-.

Yep, I was referring to Amazon UK.
Today, more than a year later, the US amazon site is catching up.  So-called Prime Day Deal -- 1st Gen still going for 30% off RRP -- i.e. USD170 from amazon (not third-party sellers who pitch NLA colors at silly prices).  Quantity-limited deal, because they are New Old Stock, of course.
