"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
Hmmmmmmmm… Do I really need them? I have been a collector of Beoplay headphones, most recently H95s, but my first love was a black H6. I loved the design and the sound. Sadly I sold them because I got an H8 Gray Hazel, which I still have today :). When I now compare the H6 with the H95, I do love the H95 much more, but the H6 almost has a vintage vibe nowadays. I still like the Blue Stone and Gray Hazel editions of it :). Why is everything Gold Tone these days? Where’s blue, for example?
Shame they did not engrave his signature into the H9i ;).
What a sweet collection and yet no Blue Stone! :) I have actually been thinking about it since… I find the Gray Hazel very pretty too but considering that my H8 came in that colour, I’d rather go for the Blue Stone. If anybody out there has got a pair, let me know :).
Leo, I get it why that H9i is precious! I’ve also had several pairs of each H9 generations but sold all 3rd Gens and kept my H9i. Both because they sound better compared to the 3rd Gen in my view, and because mine are the Rimowa edition. Still not a one-off like yours though! My most precious pair currently is the 01/95-engraved and black-gold H95, which I haven’t dared to start using yet. I’ve been using a Grey Mist version instead as my daily H95.
Speaking of engravings, how can this be done? I guess talk to a local dealer? Do you know if they can customize the colour and whether to engrave the full Bang & Olufsen logo or the B&O logo?
Hey, I'm a Beoplay H6 collectors myself !
I have quite a collection of B&O headphones, too. I love the idea of storing them on a hanger. I never would have thought of that! Do others have the ritual of the periodic "charging fest" of keeping all of the batteries charged? Same with the A1 of which I have 4.
I have a limited edition dark green H6 (gen1, I assume). Not sure what the official color name was. Don't feeling like digging out the box. I rarely use them and have never seen mention of them on the web. I'd be happy to let them go.
The official color name is "Agave Green" from October 2013

And I thought it was only me collecting B&O headphones... And irritating everyone around...
I have only one H6, but the full collection of H4 including all special editions :-)

Maybe everyone is. Only nobody talks about it :). It is interesting to see how some of you collect H6s and yourself H4 :).
I used to buy a lot of them but cut down on them a little because I realized it didn’t make so much sense to have too many colours of the same model. I could always argue for why I needed one or the other. There was always a gap to fill in for yet another pair :). I kind of miss my H6. Today I have the Gray Hazel H8, the H9i Rimowa, the 01/95 H95 Black and H95 Silver (I adore both colours :/). Although I only use the latter - for now.
Not sure something to be proud of, but also collect BS1 in different colors (and use them). Only for MK2+ though, which deprives me from some of the best colors. Though I'd love the piano black and infantry green, I don't want to buy an MK1 withtout google.

I don’t blame you! The Beosound 1 is an awesome candidate. Like the Natural aluminium, the New York and Piano Black editions lined up next to each other :). I’ve also loved the Piano Black but ended up getting the mark 2 Contrast edition. I also loved the Sapphire version although the price was nuts. But it showed that B&O can really make aluminium shine and sing with the BS1. They must sound great when paired.
