So…my wife and I are in NYC and while she was sleeping in this morning I was exploring the city on foot. I literally happened across the B&O showroom on 58th St near Central Park. I saw the Beolab 28’s in the window, immediately thought of this review and had to go in a demo them. It’s small showroom and the sales associate Ian let me demo them for the better part of an hour. I threw everything I could think at these speakers: AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche, U2, Led Zeppelin and he had a couple jazz and classical pieces he put on. My jaw nearly hit the floor. I’m new to this audiophile hi end world and I have NEVER heard a speaker like this. Holographic is absolutely the best way to describe it. My mind was 🤯🤯🤯. My wife finally got motivated and we headed back for a walk through Central Park and I told her about these speakers and she agreed to give them a quick listen. First she was absolutely blown away by the look and design…which is important to her as we just remodeled our family room and she is very conscious of the design choices she made in the new space. These would go very nicely with the aesthetic we have and like. Then Ian put on U2 for her (her favorite band) and she was impressed. Then she had him put on a song she has strong memories from her childhood; Chuck Mangione’s Feels So Good. I could tell she was instantly transported to another time and place by what she was hearing. With minutes she had tears in her eyes. My wife likes music and listens to music quite a bit BUT NOTHING has ever come close to eliciting this kind of emotional response from her. So much so, that when she asked how much they cost, she didn’t really bat an eye and considered buying them on the spot. And my wife is definitely NOT an audiophile by any mean and often rolls her eyes at the cost of speakers and components I tell her about on several HiFi/Audiophile KZfaq channels I now watch. The fact that my wife is legitimately considering buying these, is all anybody needs to know about how good they are. So glad I saw this review and subscribe to this channel…thank you Andrew and Kristi!

Added to my if I ever win the lottery dreams.

Your photography is dreamy! Great review, I'd love B&O to get you some Beolab 90 to play with, I think you'd really have a lot to say about them and would enjoy the experience. All the best - John.

After spending about 6 months with these the sound is just stunning. Music becomes so freeking good and I have started listening to music I didnt listen to before. Among the best sounding speakers I have ever heard no matter the price. And to Andrew... there is actually a magnet to hold the covers. But there is a small guide pin you have to lign up first before the magnet catches.

You’ll happy to know the B&O store in Singapore loops your review on a giant screen. You’re now a big part of their in-store marketing.

Great review thank you. I listened to these speakers in London a couple of months ago and I was absolutely floored by the superb sound quality from these. They are very expensive but, yes, they are for me amongst the best speakers I have ever heard and that includes many hi-end systems over the years. If I had the money for these I'd buy them in a heartbeat. I am going to wait a couple of years and then look for them on the second-hand market. These speakers eat for breakfast so many other systems I've heard.

“Idc that it’s not ruler flat. I measured it with my ears and it sounds brilliant” 😂😂 greatest quote of all time

I have the Beolab 50. People probably consider me an audiophile, I have had tons of hifi-equipment, in the latter days mostly Linn. Until I tried Beolab 50. Even my wife loved them and she convinced me to buy them. Has never happened before. I guess she doesn’t miss all the ”black boxes” in the living room. If you get the chance to review the Beolab 50, do it. That soundstage and the monstrous amount of power is really impressive. Works perfectly with my Linn DS streamer, which is now hidden from view.

I am sorry but those speakers look "double wow"! The light wood with the aluminium is just so beautifully crafted.

B&O have never made budget speakers, there's a reason for that. They are timeless works of art that sound fantastic to boot. These Beolab 28 speakers look amazing and if I was wanting to get rid of my gear I would 100% shortlist these as an option. This is the future. Thanks for another amazing review.😀

Can’t wait to hear you review the new Beosound Theatre!

Bang & Olufsen speakers, stereo equipment, TV's, and other products are not mere electronics; they are sculptural works of art that belong in any museum of modern art and industrial design. :)

Thanks for this review man. It's pretty rare to find professional review of B&O products. Good work 👏 🙌

I demo'd the 90s at Harrods during an England Euros match in 2016. The shop assistant wasn't too happy being dragged away from the game to let some 20 year olds gorp over a system they could only dream of. But I'm glad we asked... it was jaw-dropping. Perhaps got my love of HiFi from that experience so have a lot to thank B&O for.

Yesterday I visited a B&O shop to hear the Beosound Balance. On the way there I collected a Niam Mu-so 2 for a different room. Whilst in store I thought that I'd listen to the Beolab 28 just for the heck of it. BIG MISTAKE. Listening to Ren Harvieu 'Through the Night', they made me cry. A grown man sitting in front of a complete stranger in the middle of a city centre store openly weeping. I saw Ren Harvieu at an intimate gig 2 weeks earlier and listening to the Beolab 28's was as if I could feel her breath on my face - seductively authentic. So, I arrived home unpacked and set up the Mu-so 2 and was left underwhelmed. If you can't afford these babies (£10K - yes you read that correctly) then don't ever listed to them or they will haunt your waking dreams. Once heard never forgotten.

Oh wow! I did not expect this review at all. Good job bringing something different and new to the review table! 🔥

After watching a video on that “measurement guy’s” channel today, it’s completely refreshing to watch your videos. Your channel will keep growing, keep it up 👍

Coffee and brunch, on the sofa watching Andrew and Kristi. Love Sunday’s! These B&O’s design wise are stupendously gorgeous. They look great in your room - keep ‘em! lol PS… I see Lintons in the new black finish in the background…

One comment on the midrange/full-range drivers in terms of the two directivity modes: the two side drivers are never disabled - even in narrow mode, they're used together with the front drivers to control directivity of the speaker. They actively cancel out some frequencies emitted by the front drivers that would otherwise travel to the sides and cause reflections in the room.

Hi Andrew, thanks for a great review - interested to hear that you preferred the "Wide" sound setting, I personally find the "Narrow" mode to be more engaging, with a better soundstage. Either way, this is a great speaker/sound system for all types of music. All of the special connections used by B&O are available so these speakers can be used with any brand of audio or video system, companies such as Sounds Heavenly which I run can help with this. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on how Beolab 28 compares to the more powerful Beolab 50? Thanks, Steve.

What’s really great wit B&O is that it’s just compatible with everything. Products that support Airplay, Chromecast and in addition a manufacturer specific multi room system are so rare.

You're the only audio reviewer I can tolerate without sampling the speakers. I don't know how you do it but I just subscribed 🤦🏾‍♂️

Excellent and very honest review and appraisal. Thank you! I think you have neatly encapsulated the difference between audiophiles and music lovers with your review comments and the approach to system building that B&O has to offer, compared to atypical, passive, separates systems assembled on a mix and match and hope for the best basis by audiophiles at an amateur and retail level. Audiophiles love to mix and match their kit, and to them the kit is the hobby - the music exists almost as an after thought and a means to an end, which is to listen to the system. And that is perfectly fine - it's a valid, if expensive hobby after all. As a classical musician and music lover, I obtained my first serious separates system in my early twenties and have had various setups over many decades culminating in a multi-box high end Naim Audio system. But dis-enchantment had long set in as I was expanding the system to an AV rather than strictly 2 channel stereo role, and all the 'upgrades' and fiddling about with mixing and matching and changing components and cabling supposedly needed to try and get audio 'nirvana' was becoming expensive, time consuming and arguably unhealthily obsessive with all the fiddling and faffing about - to say nothing of ugly racks full of black boxes spoiling the look of a lounge room. Some of us like interior design like your good self and an anorak style man cave 'look' is just not for me. So ten years ago, all my passive separates systems went with the acquisition of a B&O TV and some fully active (not powered) B&O speakers. And I've never looked back. Gone were all the concerns about getting the 'best' kit, or the 'right' matching components - cables, leads, support tables etc, agonising over setup and routing of signal and mains cables etc and following all the myth and folklore or passive, separates, audiophile home setups. And, importantly, I got my music back and more. After all, for me as a musician, the system is the means to an end, and that end is the enjoyment of music to a level where I can immerse myself in a performance and at times, on stunning recordings, suspend disbelief that I am listening to live music. Imagine; one buys a HiFi system based upon sound reproduction performance and looks, secure in the knowledge that the system has been designed, engineered and built as a finished and matched whole, by a team of engineers with huge R&D budgets and testing equipment, and with most team members having PhD's in specialised fields behind them. Compare that professional buying experience to the audiophile hobbyist retail experience of mixing and hopefully matching, multi box passive separates components to build a system, using methodology rooted in the 1950s cottage industry days of Hifi, and enamoured of amateur Audiophile hobbyists to this day. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but as a Classical musician, if I had known back then when I started, what I know now as regards fully active speaker systems, and the wonderful ease of use and home integration that a product like B&O offers, I would never have bothered with passive, separates systems and the whole Audiophile hobby and arguable pseudo science, that commonly goes with it. With B&O my HiFi "eagle" has landed. 10 Years in, and my total ownership satisfaction level is still 110%. My enjoyment of music, both in stereo, discreet and matrixed surround, along with movies is at a level none of my previous passive separates systems could even approach. For me, as a music lover and classical musician first, and a HiFi enthusiast second, fully active HiFi systems designed by engineers at the top of their game in terms of qualifications and experience, relegates the Audiophile mix and match approach to system building to the hobbyist niche and those who love tinkering with kit as a valid hobby. If you want to enjoy a hassle free system that you will fall in love with, will look stunning in your home, and keep you listening and loving your music for hours on end, then fully active systems such as the Beolab 28's you review here, are the way forwards for home AV systems and music and movie connoisseurs.

Wie Need More B&O Reviews on this HiFi Channel. I wish you would do the A9 or theatre

I agree with you. The simplicity of not needing separate amps, preamps, interconnects, etc. makes for a whole new experience. For many years I owned stacks of gear from Mark Levinson, Krell and speakers from Wilson, Eggleston, Dynaudio and Martin Logan. I bought a pair of Bang & Olufsen Beolab 5’s and a Naim Unitiserve and sold off all my other gear. Beolab 5’s we’re around $24000.00 and the Unitiserve was $4800.00. While the Beolab 5’s were not wireless, Bang & Olufsen does make a wireless transmitter and you add a receiver to each speaker and works flawlessly. I have never enjoyed music more and have never looked back. (The Beolab 5’s we’re recently replaced by the current Beolab 50).

I love connecting, configuring and shopping for gear. I spend just as much time looking for new gear as I do looking for new records and listening to music. The search for me is part of the fun. I totally get somebody wanting to be “done” but not me I love reading reviews of new gear and will probably never be done. These look cool though. Not my style but I bet they sound amazing.

High class review of a high class product. Would fit nicely in a Bond Villain’s lair (who could probably afford these speakers, too.)

Happiness is Andrew & Kristi on Sunday morning.

Coffee in hand, sunday audio fix in progress

This reviewer has great articulation, he's really made me want to listen to them. I just wish i could afford them

Thanks for leaning into the place that us future-fi minimalists & music first heads love. Yes, I would ditch the quantity / gear jungle for something that is beautiful, unusual but takes the experience to the next level.

Please make a Beolab 8 review! Would greatly appreciate it!

For people thinking the B&O 28's are expensive, you are thinking the wrong way. These are meant to be bought and kept for 10 years, the technology is such a breaktrough in terms of quality/design that will well last you 10+ years, in which if you decide to sell, you will still get back 50% of your investment as they hold their value as with every top level B&O speakers. The WISA wireless technology is barely implemendted in most of all speakers on the market right now (klipch, SA, buchardt so far) so rest assured you are buying into the future.

I was never about the aesthetics of my audio equipment. Then I met my significant, a first generation Dane, and she would frown on how the equipment would interfere with the room. She even had issues with how the cables were laid out. Didn’t want more than one pair of speakers in the room. My two sets of Magenpans have to be put in storage when I wasn’t using them. Sigh. These B&O’s she would love. The things you do for love.

B & O do it again with designs and products that fly in the face of convention. I love the look / functionality but to hear it gave you pause Andrew is what I really love. I think that is what makes things like this so exciting. As the technology gets better and the ability to, "Do more with less" in terms of overall gear is tremendous. Also, B&O should just license their app to every other manufacturer.

look amazing......your review reminds me of the first time I heard Bose 901 and 601......back in the 80's

I’m doing dishes and watching this. Now I have an insane itch to spend an obscene amount of money. Thank you for an awesome review, and for making my bank account dryer then Sahara desert. 😂

I bought the Buchardt A500. Excellent speaker system. I think these go too far for me but I admire your ability to keep and open mind and open ears.

If I can afford, this unit will be my favorite, good for sitting room, easy to place and joy to listen, sometimes we do not need serious equipment but good sound. I have B&O Earset 1 mobile for Ericsson mobile phone, the sound quality is superb, both me and the one at other side feels that we are talking face to face in a quiet room!

I happily ditched all the “extras” when I finally bought a pair of BeoLab 5’s 2nd hand. HiFi heaven.

Will you review the new Beolab 8 stereo-speakers? Especially and unboxing and a review in general would be awesome!

Good morning @Andrew Robinson & @Kristi Wright. Hope you have a great day. Enjoying this one for the “boy that would be nice” factor. Beautiful speakers.

I love having no amp etc. on or in my sideboard between the speakers… just flowers onto and books into it 🤩👌

Hi Andrew, my friend have Beolab 28 and before he owned Beolab 18 and Beolab 9. Now.. I have owned a sea of speakers including KEF LS50, Anthony Gallo Ref 3.1 and ATC's and I know how hard it is to describe Bang Olufsens newer speakers. To my ears Beolab 18 is the more affordable choise. You get a high percentage of that big and pleasing experience for less than the 28's.. My own speakers is Aurelia Cerica XO and that's a speaker that I'll never sell (they came out 2013 and the model is still in production),I have them connected to a separate Icepower amp just like all Beolabs comes equiped with. The Cerica's is extremely holografic and holds up good with Beolab 28 and even outperforms them with more spooky/physical/pinpointed effects and also the bass sometimes sounds more exact/realistic on the Cericas... BUT, would I rather have the Beolabs 28's? Yes! Simply because they are better allround, pretty and no need trying out 100 positions and adapt to your room. Before the Cerica was my No.1 soundstages wise.. but the soundstage on 28's is even bigger and wider and they setup a lifelike stage! I think it's the best allround speaker I've heard and it goes from the quality of pleasing all to perfection and you won't need to buy a surround, because it's really good with movies. That feature you ALSO get with the Beolab 18's with a sub). But the 28's can do things I've never heard before.. as YOU said: "Let you in on the recordings" On well recored performaces your room becomes a huge, lifelike bubble that transports you back to the exact time and place. You really understand that you're getting that same feeling the people around that certain stage/studio got at at the time of the recording/concert played out.. Magic stuff! But as I said! I recommend the Beolab 18's if you want that signature, preferably used with sub if played with high volume or movies. 18's speakers give you a big piece of the magic experience of pleasure. If we talk vocals alone or movies.. I think the 18's better.. Voices/solo is so harmonic and sedusive. But then, if you turn on different genres, live, complex music, rock or tracks with special effects the performance on the 28's wins hands down. My conclusion is that I really want 28's or 5's as my next main speakers if nothing better comes out.. I've seen a danish guy review both at home and he clearly prefered the 5's because of the extra dynamic/preasure and punch that you feel in your body. I will soon buy B/O mainspeakers. BUT I WON'T sell the Aurelia Cerica simply because they are different and they does many things even better than the 28's. You really should review Beolab 5's or 18's with sub and report what you think.. You can find both cheaper and the 5's might even outperform the 28's.. or why not try Aurelia? 28's is excellent, but I am not convinced with the lows on some tracks.. it may come somme updates/corrections, it reminded me of a Harman Kardon Go Play. But on the other hand they can play magic on other songs like no one else. Thanks for one of few REAL reviews on Beolab!

Keep these weekend releases coming, Kristi and Andrew! Products like the Beolab 28 and Sony A9 definitely have me questioning everything I thought I knew about hifi. Also, I love the options for living spaces and decor when minimizing the electronics aspect of a set-up!

The speakers look stunning and I imagine they sound the same too. Intrigued by how yu described it as highly transparent. Great review. I'd NOT replace my separates (main listening gear) with an all-in-one setup like Beolab 28. . . BUT . . for living room speakers they look gorgeous.

Mr B and Mr O held to the principle that speakers should not have a flavor but be so well made and tuned in themselves as to work with any clean sound source. Peter Walker of Quad held that same principle and pushed affordable electrostatics to the 90 series but admitted that low end harmonics required a sub-woofer to supply frequencies we humans do not hear directly. We hear the harmonics of instruments entering those regions. All 3 pioneers admired how J B Lansing had overcome the problem in his cinema systems by using very large cones at the limits of the materials technology of the 1930s and '40s and Peter Walker sometimes used medium sized Tannoy speakers for BBC concerts with filters expressly to cover low harmonics. Although "apps" and electronic manipulation would been technically understood by these great audio men they would have been sharped eared enough to spot the artifice exceeding the art.

Great review, Andrew! I'm a long term owner of Beolab 5. They are a force to be reckoned with. It would be great if you could review those too? Again, they completely vanish and give a holographic image... but also have enough power to almost blow the walls of your room out. They kick so hard that you can feel the hair move on your head. However, they are big. And technology moves on.

The ‘gear junkie’ aspect can also drive you in the direction of a product like these. They are slick new tech that allow what was traditionally a stack of gear to just vanish into the background, yet still provide the desired end result, which is an excellent listening experience. Very desirable.

I can't justify a $16k speaker purchase, and I never thought I would ever be tempted. Great review!

I see those Wharfdale Lintons back there, pumped for the review since I bought them a couple months ago!

This presenter has like the perfect voice-over speaking voice! 😀😀😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m in love with this product. Thanks for the review - completely sold me tbh.

Omg, the audio of this video sounds like listening to a movie in a very good cinema. That with listening through B&O’s earbuds. I’m just impressed

I must admit they are cool looking! From the future or something

This man is a KING reviewer! Great review Andrew!

Wow as a danish audiophile this review makes me proud :), going from two black boxes to this must have been something designwise to get used to 😂 Have you only gotten that bigger place yet, you might have had the room to keep them 😁😎🤟 Great review guys, one of the best ones!

I was selling B&O systems back in the mid 90’s and they always were ultra modern and they are masters, in my opinion, at striking the perfect balance between lifestyle and performance.

Andrew love those B+O speakers/esp their modern look! I GUESS I didn't hear the part of your review where you discuss their price??? From what I found, think it hovers around 17K?....... I would purchase them, and in probably 1-2 days find my cats climbing on them! Maybe you can contact B+O tell them you need a couple more years, for a thorough review! I love B+O products although dont see the 28's in my near future! CCC Austin,TX

I am ditching all of the gear and just purchased the beolabs 28 :) I will report back :) Great review presentation!

1) Mesmerizing flawless sound clarity & quality, which grips your soul 2) Aesthetical clean design, made of sound enhancing material with no clutter 3) Easy and impeccable wireless Connectivity.

“House curve.” Brilliant ! Man, I have to write that down.

I purchased my 28’s this week and can’t wait for them to deliver. They are the perfect family room speaker. I have a large fireplace and no AV cabinet. I want to maintain a clean look and regular speakers won’t work. Wireless is my h option these look as good as they sound in my living room!

Alright, I’m sold. Now I just need to convince my wife to spend $15k on a pair of speakers. 😂 Another fantastic review! Happy Sunday!

I’m happy with my four wired Kef meta with Kef atmos speakers atop the front speakers with a Denon Anniversary reference receiver and a Kef center and all priced competitively. The Beolab are great looking, though.

Answering Your Question: I had 2 BOSE Performance Classic Equipment. In a little way they remind of those speakers I had which I used for myself and as a Sound Guy at City Events. The sound on them was Wonderful, but they were not Record Listening Speakers Like I want in the house. I need more STUFF to Play with because almost every record seems to do better if I tweak them individual to the Record I'm playing. I loved MY BOSE for my Guitar, band, vocals and it's amazing in part because I put it up and plug things in and IT DOES THE REST.... but at home, I need to fiddle more with my Seat in the Auditorium.

hi andrew can u also please review the cheaper beolab 18? thanks.

Excellent and enjoyable review!🔥👌🏾 The Beolab 50 and the flagship Beolab 90 speakers will blow you away even more if you loved the sound of the 28’s.

Great review once again, love that you love B&O! I have some on order to make my B&O system even more silly and I can't wait :p

Your reaction on this stereo speaker is amazing and, this is one of the best to enjoy as a rich person.

Are you going to do a review on the B&O Beolab 90's ?

And they are sooooo gorgeous!

Tank you for this review, I was waiting since the first instagram photo! Awesome product!

I strongly agree with you mate. It's one of the best sounding speaker. It's gorgeous and it's all in one. It's amazing.

How does it compare to Beolab 18?

Would be interesting to compare them with the Kii THREE. Would be nice to see Tidal / ROON integration.

Great review, thanks! No way i can afford these speakers but you’ve made me think about my approach to my system… and i actually feel better about my choices and setup. Thanks again :)

Thank you for the amplifier class question! I would love a more in-depth video, link me if you have it already, but this has always thrown me.

The ultimate Lasko fan.

I'd ditch 28 for 90! Thanks, great review.

Went and listened to them on Robertson in West Hollywood. I also listened to the big daddys in the same room that are $100k. It is spooky what comes out of this pencil thin speaker, it's simply beyond amazing, let alone the coolest speaker presently. For design, nothing compares. B & O's subwoofer is outrageously expensive, these, all things considered, are compelling.

Im usually suspicious of thin speakers. Its amazing they can be compared to much beefier boxes. Cool stuff

I agree with you about changing settings and the need to remove the front and the curtains is not practical and the risk of damaging the speakers real. You wouldn’t expect that from such a brand but for B&O the design is very important. But I have an other problem with such speakers, the always changing technology can make them after a certain period of time unusable. I believe more in separate components, they are more adjustable in time. But for the people who can afford to spend such money, they can take that risk. Maybe I am wrong but future will tell. As always a great review, Greetings, Ludo Belgium

Awesome review as always. The speakers looks stunning in your setup. I have listened to them briefly in a B&O store and they are impressive. They look much nicer in the flesh. (BTW, is that a 77" on the wall?)

I really like both your views which are honest and always detailed And as a Bang and Olufsen fanatic your view on. The brand gets a fair ride on your channel

Andrew, Can you Review the Bang & olufsen's Beolab 8's ( mini28's) they look amazing & had a demo about a week ago they were stunning ! Visually & listening was an absolute joy !! Hope you can Andrew, would love your thoughts !!!

I love how Andrew keeps reviewing the left-of-center products that need more awareness. No disrespect to the mainstream stuff, btw.

SOLD. All I need now is a house to put them in. Just a small thing I know.

B&O look to be on a roll. I would love a Beogram 4000c video, doesn’t have to be a review, it just looks so cool 😎. I remember seeing the original when I was young

A surprising demo track to understand "wide" versus "narrow" on the 28's is "Risin' To The Top" by Ken Burke. In narrow mode, it's a vocal in the range of the front and side drivers that has one focus in narrow, and as mentioned in the review, a much smoother, warmer approach in wide. Meanwhile, you can practically see the speaker kicking the drums. Auditioned on a floor standing pair.

I been an audio enthusiast to B&O from 10+ years… while I cannot afford the new equipment…I do buy vintage audio from B&O.. some of those quite fantastic looking and sounding… would you consider to make a review of those?.. I have a beosound 3000 , beolab 8000…and some others…

Yes i am very keen to ditch all gears just to have a set of Bella’s 28.

Great review, I followed the link to have a look at the product page. I then swore out loud when I saw the price.

Small & slim speakers + DSP seems to be the future of HiFi. Like the Sony A9 that you said was also "the best" Lol.

For 16k it better blow my mind.

As much as I love gear and getting the next shiny thing, I could go for a system like this, where everything is already figured out. What would hold me back, particularly at a price point like this, is what if something goes wrong? That essentially will give me the biggest pause, because if something breaks I would be terrified at the cost of fixing it and the steps that I might have to go through. If B & O addresses this concern in a reasonable manner, I could see myself going for something like the 28.

B&O reminded us there are people out there who can throw almost 20k$ for a lifestyle system. Convenience is important to me, and I ditch my vinyl collection in the nineties in favor of CD. I have a big collection now and I don't stream much, so it would take something as good, cheap (3k-5k) and user friendly to convince me to change. Very fun watching you guys! Much love from Quebec!

After spending hundreds on cables and thousands on speakers and gear, these would have to sound absolutely fantastic for me to ditch everything. That being said, a streamlined experience combined with a lot of tech that these have does sound fantastic, not to even mention how clean and sleek they look. I would love to get a chance to listen to these speakers extensively and test out their capabilities before making a buying decision, but I could definitely see myself pulling the trigger if I was truly happy with their functionality and sound. The oak-wood curtains look really really cool.

Andrew, will you be reviewing the New Beosound Theatre? I've had a little listen at a local B&O store ; & they sound unreal ! !!!
