    Amazing price, bit the bullet and finally bought one…I always admired the design of B & O, also very good resale value !

    For comparison, price with 12 months Australian warranty from expansys :

      Yeah I saw that, costs another $70 for delivery from expansys though. Its an EU model too.

    • bchliu on 02/12/2012 - 23:27

      How can the resale value be good when its the old connector and not the new lightning connector?

      • [Deactivated] on 03/12/2012 - 01:06
        +1

        Because it is b&o. You are paying for style, not quality, and their style holds its value compared with any other electronic company.

        • bchliu on 03/12/2012 - 07:59
          +3

          Thats true if the standards are held up for the next 10 years - but Crapple has already screwed everyone up by changing the connector and it wont work with future generations without the use of adapters that will screw up your aesthetics regardless of any B&O sticker on it.

        • Smigit on 03/12/2012 - 08:45

          I agree. I wouldn't expect resale of it to hold up. Most B&O probably does have good resale value, because like certain other pieces of technology, audio gear generally ages well and doesn't become out of date. In this case however you are buying an iPod/iPhone dock with an already replaced dock connector. I wouldn't go in expecting to get most of the money back at resale given the people with the money to buy $700 iPod docks probably have the money to upgrade to lightning based Apple products.

          I'm guessing people would be looking to sell in 12+ months, at which point lightning has been on the market for 18+ months and there have been at least two generations of Apples family in that time.

        • Smigit on 03/12/2012 - 13:32

          I can't edit my above post, but looking at the Amazon listings, the "8" model doesn't have airplay either, where the "A8" does. Would be handy, especially down the line. Line in with an airport express may be a work around for that however (although it's realistically an option for most speakers/docks).

    • makibaow on 03/12/2012 - 02:03

      I thought that every product of B & O do have 3 years international warranty?
      Correct me if i am wrong..because i was planning to buy this one as well but still not sure and looking for the international warranty.

  • gr8m8sam on 02/12/2012 - 21:21

    How does this compare against Bose SoundDock10. That comes with Bluetooth too. Yah Bose is more expensive than this but comes the full Aus support. But which one is better?

    • berger on 02/12/2012 - 22:11

      It's all personal opinion. I loved this compared to the Bose. Louder, clearer, sexier.

        Thanks for sharing. Liked the sexier part better ;) Cheers!

  • berger on 02/12/2012 - 21:48

    I have had mine since I created the first bargain. It's pure awesome, clarity unbelievable. Loud? Oh yes!!!

    It's not the first B&O product I bought, and won't be the last. They just released the new BeoPlay A9 wireless speaker. It's my next purchase, but $2690 need to save first.

    Highly reccomend. Will not be disappointed.

    • Saul Goodman on 02/12/2012 - 21:54

      Would you say still buy the BeoSound 8 at this price? Or save up for the BeoPlay?

      • berger on 02/12/2012 - 22:08

        I would buy this, the new one won't be cheaper for at least 2 years. Unless your keen on the airplay features. Same sounds, looks, etc.

  • berger on 02/12/2012 - 21:50

    Please note OP. this is no longer sold at Australian stores, as it was cleared out at the $1266 price and then replaced with the Beoplay A8, wireless, and first dock to support the iPhone 5 connector.

    • MrsJools on 02/12/2012 - 22:20

      & not to forget the iPad 4 as well.

  • Saul Goodman on 02/12/2012 - 21:51

    You guys recommend the white or black? What do you think looks better?

    • berger on 02/12/2012 - 21:54

      I bought the black. And you can get replacement covers, I have black, white, patterned, and orange covers. $70 for a set at the stores. :(

      Win-win!

  • lousy on 02/12/2012 - 22:50

    would have bought one cept already got a bose :(

  • [Deactivated] on 02/12/2012 - 23:03

    Quite a few online electronic stores in Germany selling it at this price or significantly less (cheapest I've found is 469EUR) — haven't found one that ships to Australia and deducts VAT yet though! Another ~20% off would be sweet. :)

  • Eivad on 02/12/2012 - 23:08

    Holy …. these are so incredibly sexy, so tempted to bite the bullet and grab one
