B&O Stage on YouTube

Good review on YouTube

Great! I watch Andrew regularly. Shame B&O won’t send him review samples.

Good review though. Stage is great. 

I agree to 100%, even that it needs a sub. But whining about the base color was a bit silly. Just buy aluminum instead with black base.

I was straight up shocked to hear that they don't give review units to professional Youtube channels like his.

That is unbelievably irresponsible marketing management!

Could be for a whole raft of reasons we don't know about.

In one way it adds to the credibility of the review somewhat.

Those 'I was supplied with a loan unit but this is completely unbiased' reviews never seem to have very much criticism but am I just being cynical?

From a consumers point of view, maybe. 

But shouldn't the marketing department be more concerned with getting eyeballs on the products? 

Buying thousands worth of equipment for the privilege of reviewing B&O probably isn't a good proposal to someone with a vast audience.

They are probably way more comfortable with print media, but I don't think that that is getting people in stores nowadays. 

 

You may be right all I am saying is there may be reasons we don't know about.

Before I made a judgement on 'marketing' I would want to know:

Did they just say no to Andrew?

Is this a policy decision and if so why?

You are absolutely right, I am also uninformed about their media strategy and the reasons they have to withhold their products from video reviewers.

But for a long time I have been annoyed by the lack of "independent" video reviews of B&O products. The only exception might be Steve and B&O of Manchester and they are hardly independent (no critique! Much love and support to them)

So I guess they probably do not give sample units to anyone even if they ask, like Andrew Robinson.

Looking for B&O Products on Youtube, there are hardly any of high quality (exceptions above) and I for one see that as a drastic weakness in B&Os marketing.

I agree although Mikipedia and Hendrick do a great job with reviews. Whilst they may be regarded by some as 'fanboys', they certainly put their money where their mouth is which says a lot more to me than some 'independent reviewers.'

B&O have always been a bit quirky . . . 

 

 

 

Thing is, I am a fanboy but I also pet people know that. That doesn’t however make me blind to what other brands do and I don’t think that people are “wrong” for liking other things with the exception of possibly the bose stuff uou find everywhere in the US being compared to bl50/90’s

Even so, all the critisms we’ve had on my channel has basically made me a persona non grata with B&O proper. They don’t like reviews they have little control over and it also seems they think they can do no wrong so don’t expect them to do anything at all for modern day reviewers.

I wondered if it was policy not to support reviewers.

I'm with you - proud to be a fanboy but not shy to voice what I see as failings.

Keep up the good work :-)

Yep, such a shame B&O don't use some of these (better quality) reviewers.

Just watched the video, and it really was refreshing to see and excellent at the same time.

I don't expect B&O to go down this route at all, but its nevertheless a shame.
