I saw the BeoSound 6 MP3 player at the B&O showroom in Fanar yesterday and it looked pretty slick until I picked it up and realized how light it was. I was expecting the BeoSound 6 to be a bit heavy but instead it was really light which made it feel flimsy and cheap. The player costs KD157 after discount so flimsy and cheap are two things you don’t want describing it. It costs KD164 on Amazon which makes it cheaper in Kuwait but I would still get an iPod.

How many GB is it ?
4GB
Bang & Olufsen internal electronics are supplied by Philips they only design the shell in Denmark.
the BeoSound 6 internal electronics are a Samsung.
But anyway, B&O isn’t a repackaged philips. They use components from various manufacturers and usually most of the components are specifically made for them so B&O isn’t really a high end wansa like you make it sound to be.
i hate that brand , only looks nothing else
$600 MP3 player with 4GB!! are you kidding me?! who will buy it?!
Bang & Olufsen aficionados?
Mark that was my previous knowledge about B&O, they might have changed their suppliers by now. I have visited their assembly premises in Struer, which was located 15km from my house, the problem with B&O is that they tend to be unreliable and the name was dubbed in Danmark to Bovl og Omkostinger which translates to Trouble & Expenses.
It’s so funny to read all this…
It’s a huge mistake to see a comment from someone who has never used beosound 2 or beosound 6. Since beosoud 2 there is no better mp3 player on the market, of course if you prefer 100 GB of storage and color display …maybe combination with toaster 🙂 you can find a lot of this at the market.
@Hellraiser You are mistaken my friend B&O might not be the best but to say they are made by other companies is rubbish! I just serviced a near 20 year old telly (LX4500) ok philips tube but all electronics designed by B&O and the clever telly detected the fault without killing the LOPT which 90% of other tellies would have done and possibly left as right off!
B&O have developed HXPRO, first ever linear record player 1975, worlds largest sound chamber for speaker testing ICE power amps they have repackaged some things like 1 telly and dvd player / vcr etc but generally everything is made by them and very high quality workmanship in general. They have made some dogs in the past but they are much more than the exterior!
