Bang & Olufsen Beosound 8 Unpack and Install

[ande320]

@a09as I got Zeppelin air and its sounds better than beosound 8 and Zeppelin air can play louder than beosound 8.

[ande320]

This is overpriced try Zeppelin air its much cheaper and goes louder than beosound 8

[AndreasFalk8]

i heard this in the store. unbelievable

[THEDROPPEDSOCK]

Can a subwoofer be connected to it. My sub uses an RCA. Thanks..

[jfadsojfask]

this dude fuckin owns it all!!!!

[a09as]

I got a couple of beolab 3 connected to my beosound 9000. I connected a 3.5mm stereo jack cable from my iPads2 bracket to my beosounds 9000s aux din connection. This product seems more nifty. But is it worth buying? The B&W zeppelin half the price can not connect an iPad on its dock. Listening through youtube is not helping at all. Avid user of Spotify and WiFi. I guess the whole idea is owning an apple product for this buy to make any sense.

so does this play regular radio too?

Papa was a Rolling Stone by Phil Collins.



[riky95oo]

Not possible to connect it to the B&o home masterlink?

[rvggarcon]

LOL, is that the Oprah app on your ipad? haha

[flappospammo]

bno make exc gear , i've had an avant tv since 2003 and it's still going strong

[kazora1001]

god they are fckin expensive

[robertonjr10]

I think a $1000 bucks are a bit too much

[MrRallemulle]

Finally a good danish product! :D

[manjii2go]

@MrRallemulle Finally? You stupid idiot, like 80% of the Danish products are good; especially the B&o products.

[MrRallemulle]

@manjii2go Yeah, FINALLY, you dumbfuck idiot. There are others, true, but they're not "mindblowing", this, on the other hand, is quite good.

Now, if you can't do anything else than insult people, then please leave youtube and watch the sun.. If you know what the sun is ofc.

[manjii2go]

@MrRallemulle Dude, you're seriously contradicting yourself... Because first you say: Finally a good Danish product. And then you say that there are others...? I don't quite get you on this man. And ofcourse I know what the sun is.

[MrRallemulle]

@manjii2go Let me define the word "Finally".

It can describe as "Finally a good product!". There hasn't been that great Danish products in quite some time now, in my opinion that is. But ofc. there are some other, but older, great products from Denmark.

[manjii2go]

@MrRallemulle Ok, I get it now. You're correct at that, but the way it was written made it look like there never was a good Danish product. So yeah.

[MrRallemulle]

@manjii2go I understand you, and yes, i did write it a little unclear at first :3

[manjii2go]

@MrRallemulle Ok, so we cool now? (:

[MrRallemulle]

@manjii2go Sure am.

[manjii2go]

@MrRallemulle Ok, good. (:

[SupaGreenCat]

@manjii2go psch!...men...

[c3po1986]

its looks nice but all that plastic and even the remote controle has the bottom side of plastic i think for an B&O product(brand etc) and such a price tag its definitely unworthy... come on such a price and the back of the thing is all plastic and looks like noname china dock and has poor connectivity usb and rca . I prefer 100% the B&W Zeppelin only one nice thing on the B&O is that u can put it on the wall

[amitnagpal1985]

Excellent review. You have a very professional sounding voice.

[amitnagpal1985]

OMG i love it so much. I am gonna buy it.

[cheytab]

Made in Hong Kong like most items now days

[victorh1414]

@NICHOLASMARKSIMPSON I am from Denmark and I have tried asking the people in Denmark and they are also not welling to say anything. We all know (in Denmark) that it is not going B&O well right now and that they are taking short cuts to keep B&O from going under. I think thats why, Poilcy man here, is saying that its shit because they are taking the shorts cuts ;) But tell you what, I will also write them and bring up the freedom of information :)

Good day

[skyymac]

why they dont put airplay functionality to a new product like this ? you are making a speaker for apple but not putting latest music tech in it ? why why ? ? ?

[policy00director]

It's "Made in China" and NOT Danish. B&O is becoming a shit company... And I have one and it says it all on the back....

[McMartin1]

Is it really made in China? Do you have any evidence or is it just an unqualified allegation?

I had a look at a beosound 8 at my local dealer, looks quite nice, sounds quite nice, if it's made in China there will soon be fakes for cheap prices, enough for my bathroom of course.

[policy00director]

@McMartin1 Yes they are really made in China. I have one and it says it on the back behind the plastic cover. Sadly....

[McMartin1]

@policy00director Thank you for the fast answer, that's really sad.

[policy00director]

@NICHOLASMARKSIMPSON How do you know this? I have written many emails to B&O asking where their things are made and they are not willing to say anything. Also not everything goes to be tested in Denmark. I have the Beocom 5 and one of mine did’t work and this shows that it was not tested. I know that the sound quality is the best in the world but I want it to say on the back of all my B&O "Made in Denmark". B&O writes on their website “Danish craftsmanship” and that’s all I am asking.

[policy00director]

@NICHOLASMARKSIMPSON Well can you please provide me with this information about where B&O is made? The reason I am so mad about B&O is because they are not up front about their stuff. If you look at an IPhone it says “Designed in California. Assembled in China” and they are honest about it. Whereas B&O says “Ohh the quality is the best”. As a fact B&O could be designed in Estonia and made in the Czech Republic.

[AdamLinders]

Thank you for the help. I couldnt open the back part at first

[GratuitousSacrifice]

Hw does it sound? I'm into electronic and indie, and I'm very interested in getting one myself. I'm with tonkerdog, hw much was it? cause I'm a canuck also.

[MrCanuckMark]

In Canada, MSRP is approximately $1,200 CAD. There is presently a $100 B&O gift card promo for existing B&O customers. In the U.S., from what I've read, MSRP is closer to $1,000 USD. I've compared two B&O retailers and their prices are at MSRP.

[tonkerdog]

I listened to one of these last week, and it was better than the Zeppelin and by some distance. Thats not to say the Zeppelin is bad, especially as it relies on Bang & Olufsen applification gear to work.

How much did you pay?
