Have you checked with your dealer? They are still listed on the B&O web site, so should be available from dealers.

Flere:My dealer in the NL told me the table model is out of stock at B&O and will not be available anymore. Halo is the new choice.
What a tragic mistake. It is specifically because of the Essence Remote (and Beolink Multiroom) that I filled my house with B&O products.
The Halo is NOT a replacement, as it needs charging every few days while the Essence remotes can go a year between battery changes. When I got my Halo I already had 9 Essence remotes. Since then I've purchased two more Essence remotes, and have no plan to buy more Halos.
Sounds like I'll need to stock up on some spares from eBay.
