They have just said they would release 5 product in the next 5 month,

New or updated.

You have now found 4 of them

Beoplay HX

Beoplay EQ

Beosound Explore

Beosound Level

 

My guess is that:

HX is the Gaming headset

EQ a cheaper option than E8 (All other wireless in ear have been discounted so it would make sense)

Explore, looks like a size as the P2 which is discounted

The Level I know what is but my lips a sealed ;)

Beovision Harmony 77" 2nd Gen, Beolab 5, Beolab 17, Beosound 1, Beoplay M3, Beoplay Portal, Beoplay Earset, Beoliving Intelligence

EQ sounds more like a noise cancelling E8 (Q for Quiet?) because that's what's missing on E8.

Not very helpful I know...

An KCC / MSIP RR ID is the authorization ID assigned by the Korean Communications Commission to identify wireless products in the Korean market. The RR assigns application ID numbers and Authorization number to approved products. The Wireless Speaker, manufactured by BANG & OLUFSEN A/S and sold by BANG & OLUFSEN A/S has an Authorization Number of RR-BOA-BEOSOUNDLEVEL and was approved on 2020-11-20 under application number 202017210000321526.

You know what the Level is but you have to guess what the other products are?

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.

Paperwork requested embargo for 180d as of end December ‘20. So basically not before end March ‘21

 

 

Still don’t know if it is the gaming headset. The HX (X as in 10) could also be as successor of the BeoPlay H9

EDIT: changed 120d into 180d!

One dealer is already showing the Beosound Level in the shop Window according to a picture in a Facebook group. A very flat speaker.

What I hear is that Level will (over time) get functionality so that you can use it as surround speakers for eclipse and harmony.

I heard Feb 4.

That picture will not make it justice (I hope). Just a grey-ish rectangular shaped flat slate. Textile surface like eg Stage or Contour.

So... another unfinished product at launch? And it's already in some shop window on display??

I don't understand some B&O product launches at all these days.

You are right in your displeasing of this trend, but sadly it is not only B&O, this seems to be the new normal.

Anyways if this is true about surround it would be really great.

And the Beolab 17 have a replacement.

But if the new Beosound Level should be able to do this, then maybe the Balance would also be able to do this? As it was the first on the new audio platform.

Lets see

So here we are finally! The Beosounds will be usable as Beolabs! (like if Core is directly integrated to beolabs). This is promising and is a good move : you'll be able to use your speakers the way you want, either direct streaming, or stereo pairing, or integrated in a cinema setup. Ultimate versatility.

What are you basing this of? Any insights whether that will be possible for the current line-up? Would love to use 4 BS1 as satellites for a surround setup.

Balance will be able to pair with another balance using Google app to be left/right speaker.

Assuming coming Level will use same functionality.

@Steve1977 : there is a misunderstanding, I have no insider information, I was just replying to Hiort who wrote that the Beosound Level could be used as a rear speaker for Eclipse and Harmony.

The only product being based on the new audio platform is currently the Balance, so no hope that it will be possible for the current version of the BS1. And it may be too power intensive to work on battery so I doubt BS1 will be compatible one day!

Isn’t that a feature that all googlecast enabled b&o speakers support? I thought this pairing was even possible for the m3.

Is there any info that the balance or future level can be used as rear speaker or otherwise connect directly with a harmony? Right now, this is only possible for wisa enabled speakers. would be quite a breakthrough if b&o allows to be rears for a stage or horizon. Besides hopes and dreams, is there any rumor for this to happen anytime soon?

I was a bit misleading in my post. You are able to stereopair Balance already now. (You can do the same with BS1 GVA)

Quite sure you cannot stereopair M3.

The rumor I hear is that both Level and Balance will work as speakers to Eclipse and Harmony.

That would be huge! So, basically replicating what sonos accomplished. Fingers crossed your rumors hold true...

You can. It’s a standard google feature and M3 supports it. However it only works with chrome cast (same as BS1 GVA) and doesn’t work if you use NL or AP2. so, that’s not really exciting to me.

What is cool is what you hear as rumor that i can use beosound products as surround speakers steered by a beovision (or maybe even future stage). this would be a sonos-like feature, which would replace the need for wisa.

Not also as satellites for Beosound Stage, by any chance?

I think it's a standard Google Chromecast feature to get two speakers to play the same track simultaneously, like in a group, but not necessarily in stereo (split L and R channels).

The Beoplay HX is going to be equipped with 4 voice microphones with uses of advanced beamforming to improve the sound quality of calls and Adaptive ANC Technology (Adaptive ANC Technology) which will improve the noise cancellation.

They are supposed to go on sale already here in 6 days on February 6th, which I personally find difficult to see happen.

Have btw heard some people talk about X might stand for 10, but their headphones have never been named after their year of birth before. Do anyone know the H9 har named 9? etc.

So funny how the links get taken offline almost as soon as they are posted here lol! Do B&O have people checking this site 24/7 looking for leaks to then quickly follow up with the third party sites? So funny!

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.

According to H95 spec it has 4 mics as well what is the difference between hx and h95?
