It's because the brand xpand has a new model which is supposed to be lighter

Without trying to sound too much of a skin flint, is it possible to purchase compatible but non B&O 3d glasses for a 7-55. I might need 5-6 pairs and at £120 a pop plus the 7!

Or is it a false economy?

Chris, as was hinted below, the B&O 3D specs are made by Xpand - so knock yourself out with an Amazon multi purchase and save yourself the BnO tax!

New Bang specs = new Xpand specs....

(Did anyone actually think they would manufacture their own?!!)

I've looked at their site, so which type would I order.

I presume the new one is the lite ir/rf

Why not check with dealer to have a look before buying?

I vaguely remember they might need re-programming if not bought from dealer...

You can do the reprogramming yourself I think...

Taking the topic off on a slightly different angle, I was totally unimpressed with 3D on the BV11. Borrowed a pair of 3D glasses from my dealer for a few days, watched a 3D movie, Sky 3D and a Premiership game or two in 3D.

Can someone tell me what 3D offers that I missed? It hurts my eyes, you need to sit in a darkened room (which rules out watching during the day or summer's evening), you need to be face on in front of the TV, Premiership football is filmed at a poor/lower angle for 3D coverage and movies offer nothing extra in 3D. It almost looks like the "film mode" we all turn off on our newly installed B&O TV!

3D reminds me of something we all think we *should* be watching as it's something that others enjoy. I couldn't see a single benefit - returned the glasses to my dealer and won't be borrowing them again soon :)

I must admit I tried some in a store a few days go and they weren't very pleasant. I tried some LG passive glasses in Currys and they were lighter and much less of a strain. A good effect too.

I know it's an indulgence but I'm off loading this one on "it's for the kids"! There are some good deals on the 7-55 at he moment which make it only £1,000 more than an 11-55. All immaterial until I've sold my 10 though! Thanks

I've tried the new B&O lite glasses on a beovision 7:40 - they worked well (best at night with no lights). The model No. Is X105-IR-B2.  These appear to be the same as the new 'lite' IR/RF 3d glasses manufactured by Xpand, but the model No. Is different being X105-IR-X1.  Does anyone know if they are one and the same?  If they are they are considerably cheaper on Amazon.com (from the USA) than the £95 B&O are asking in their UK stores.

B&O Type Number for the new style glasses is 5007.  I have a few pairs of the new and a few pairs of the old.

I've noticed little or no improvement in viewing quality, but they're much lighter and much more comfortable to wear.  They look like a pair of designer glasses as opposed to something you'd wear for an eye test!

As I'm about to take delivery of a 7-55, and with 6 in the family I'd appreciate it to know if they actually work.
