Beoplay M5 & M3 discontinued?

I noticed there seems to be discounting on the M5 & M3. Looking at the B&O website it says that they’re not part of the active product portfolio.

Have they been discontinued?

I think so.

It looks like they have been removed about a couple of weeks ago.

Wondering if they will be replaced as there are different options of “small speakers” in the lineup.

Sad news as the M3 is a real pearl and a hidden gem as an introduction into the B&O multiroom audio and smart speaker world!

Love it.

I'm not so sure we will get much by way of replacements - especially considering the Emerge and others have been released relatively recently.

The recent investor presentation mentioned 7 new products for the next year - which is quite a bit less than we've had over the last year.

Doesn’t Emerge effectively replace M3? And Level the M5? The price difference on Level vs M5 is big but I think in terms of where these products stand in the lineup, this is it.

Would be nice with an entry level “connected” speaker priced slight lower than Emerge.

Agree that M3 is a very competent little speaker.

Sad to see it go.

The M3 enabled me to go full multiroom in a whim. Ideal to scatter a few around the house and enjoy a full B&O experience. I hope there will be something new around that price point (max € 350).
