Horrendous. One in Blue or Red might actually mean they sell the things!

Whatever colour they end up, they have made my Beolit and A8 redundant. Ironically the pointless bag they are supplied in now has my work Bose headset, and the H6 sit very nicely in the excellent Bose case!

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

Erm, I really like them! Understated and classy in my opinion.

All down to personal taste I suppose, but as a general rule of thumb - Green doesn't sell well.

They'll be rolling out the Dark Blue next, just to gather a bit of dust on the stock room shelves..

White is the colour to release. Younger people will buy those in serious numbers...   

Also, some Limited Editions would be cool.  Paul Smith stripes on the headband with white or black cans, Louis Vuitton monogram?

Get into bed with the big names. Get the brand seen again. Get people asking questions.

Back to marketing.....

Absolutely LEE ! B&O have a big problem with marketing. Never had questions or customers satisfaction from Bang & Olufsen. Others brands made marketing and ask customers what they want and if they are satisfied !

It would be great to see B&O release two headphone formats:

A top end set of cans for home use with a good lead length to reach your music source and a funkier Bluetooth set with noise cancellation etc for on the go under the "Play" logo.

Due to endless grottings of people catching my headphone wires on my daily commute I changed to a set of Parrot Zik's which tick lots of boxes including Philippe Stark styling and use my Form 2's with a long extension at home.

 

 

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Lee knows what he is talking about.   I just picked up a set of these "limited edition" green h6 at a nice discount.  I could not decide between the black and the tan, but they only had the green on hand, and they were deeply discounted (had been displayed on a head in a glass case) as they were a display model and an unpopular color.  The green is not nearly as bad in person. 

I really like them. Very balanced.  Very comfortable.

Totally digging the army green. But I don't think I am H6's target market. Too bulky for outdoor use and too low spec for in home use.
