The BS1 seems to be out of stock everywhere. Does anyone know if it has been discontinued? I’m eager to upgrade my gen 1 with a mozart based version but haven’t heard anything to suggest that’s on the way.

BeoSound 1 discontinued?

Yes, it's been officially discontinued a few months ago.
Replacements are the Level and the new A5 - both sound much better than Beosound 1 to be fair, even though in terms of design they're far less iconic.
Beosound 2, almost-equally iconic, was updated with Mozart. (Understood not mentioned in the same breath above, because not battery-powered and 2.5 times more than BS1-gen.1 cost. But what price beauty... it's what I would choose except for price, because my BS1 so rarely leaves its AC base.)
speaking of price increases, one of the UK B&O retailers has emailed out some of the new prices.
Looks broad, i.e.plenty of products affected, perhaps the whole portfolio subject to "24 to 30%" increase.
The UK Theatre price is up 33% - 7990GBP from 5990GBP.
I wish them the best of luck.
That’s a shame. I think the BS1 is the perfect kitchen speaker and was looking at buying 2 new ones. The sound quality wasn’t the best but with its other features I thought it was still quite desirable. Of course mine was only £930 new which made it quite a bit more palatable.Please Log In to Reply
