you could read it today in a german newspaper. B&O stops MP3 player and mobile phones and will concentrate their business on TV , Audio and Speaker systems.

If you want to have more info about that:

YES and I'm delighted!!!

Now B&O will be more in to the audio/video!!!

 

I was afraid this day would come. I've been putting off buying a BeoSound 2 for almost a year now, there was always something more important to get... But it seems this is the last chance for me to get it. Until I ask my dealer on monday, do any of you know if it's still possible to get a new one? I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem since they've only announced it a few days ago, but I had to ask anyway.

They're about although not common. If you ask about a bit you should come across one relatively quickly. I've been thinking about trying to get hold of one myself simply because of how it sounds...

I am sure that this is great news for the company. IMO it is the first step (back) in the right direction!

how can they stop selling the Beosound 2?! Silly

They won't stop , I think it was only mentioned not to develop any new mp3 players. But the current mobile phones and mp3 player will be available as always...

Could it be that B&O will only stop selling the BS6, the Serene and the Serenata, the products co-produced with Samsung? This would make sense IMO, because none of the three is a good seller. BL2 has been there for a longer period and is not selling to bad. Can anyone confirm?

Oh Beosound 2. My first MP3 player. Anyone knows a good way to get rid of the scratches? 

Your dealer can order a steel shell replacement of your BS2. And you don't have to be engineer to replace it :-) I've done it with mine.

I use a product for clean aluminium whith a coton ( i found this in a supermarket with all cleaner products) and its' very good.

But you must pass many time to rub in circle.

 

 

BeoSound 2 has become one of favourite pieces!

Hi Karel,

May I ask how much you paid for the replacement aluminium covers?

I would give the metal parts of the BS2 to someone who ist working with metal. They can polish it like new. Years ago I gave an aluminium shifting knob full of scratches to a friend of my parents, who makes metal parts for the car industry and he polished it like new. I would like to say, it was better than new.

Regards

So I got my new BeoSound 2 on friday and when I took it out of the box the plastic part which connects to the dock was somehow broken - it was hanging out on one side. So I took it right back to my dealer. I called them today and he said there seems to be a part missing or is broken and that they will order it and fix it. What I'm thinking is, taking into account that it's brand new ( I just took it out of the box, saw the broken piece and took it right back, that's it ) that I deserve a new one and not the fixed one, since this was not my mistake. Am I right in thinking or am I asking too much? Any consumer laws about this maybe : ) ?

If you receive something dead on arrival, it must be replaced.

p.

I got a new one today and they were very kind about it all. Strangely, I think it's one of the older models, because it came with a 128MB SD card and a pouch for the A8's, whereas the broken one just came with a black bag with B&O's logo and a neck strap. Anyway, I'm not complaining, as long as it's new and nothing is hanging out. But I now have another problem - it doesn't work with my MacBook Pro. Here is the detailed description, so if someone can help - please do : )
