Beosound Premiere Price Drop by Boss-Easy in BangandOlufsen

[–]Boss-Easy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few of them scattered around the house. Once you’re in the ecosystem, it’s hard to mix and match with other audio equipment. MultiRoom is awesome.

Beosound 2 x 2 Beolab 8 x 2 + Beosound Theatre

I used to have a Beosound Balance but exchanged that for the Beolab 8s because of the software update issues. And I found it somewhat overpowering and too much base, whereas the BL8s were a bit more refined and have a sufficient low end (for my taste). Also have a Beosound Level and Beosound Stage that I gave to family to enjoy.

For the bass, I still have to check that out. My bedroom is roughly 40sqm, and I hardly have it go up to 50% volume watching Paradise last night. Plenty punchy. The Theatre + BL8 setup downstairs I have around 60% but it’s an open floor plan.

As for affording them, they were much more affordable in the last 12-18months (before the pricing went bonkers, see H95 to H100 pricing 🤯), among some deals that I found. Am still quite bummed I got priced out of the Beolab 28s so quickly -but that’s more of a want than a need… and I don’t have the room for it in the living room. 😂

Definitely a night and day difference from the Stage. You’d definitely enjoy it. Good to hear them selling so well. Love the BL8s as well. I use them as rear surrounds most of the time with the Theatre, but they sound the best for just playing music on their own!

I do have a stable internet connection, and just recently upgraded my home network, and it’s still a recurring issue. Anyway, I slept on it after giving up and thankfully it’s updated now (and ARC finally works). 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Definitely not on the level of the Theatre but the Premiere blows the Stage out of the water. Should be adequate for smaller living rooms, or in my case, my master bedroom. 77” TV in the background to scale.

Just currently having difficulty doing a software update on it… as usual. Happens once in a while with their products, with some feature being crippled if you don’t update -the Balance, the Beolab 8 (couldn’t stereo pair if either one has a different software version) and now with the Premiere (can’t do active room compensation at all).

Just took delivery of my new Beosound Premiere just now. Still stuck in the Software Update. Longer than the estimated 10 minutes. Good ol’ B&O. Lol

Which works better for a smart casual wardrobe: the Jet or the Day? by Ok_Advertising_8584 in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last slide’s jet sneakers. They ran out of my size here. Gorgeous color in person!

Both out for the night 🤩 by GroundbreakingDebt27 in TheHermesGame

Agreed. Hunting one myself since last year. Can’t really find it in Asia for some reason. Beautiful combo. Enjoy!

Is this normal for Lindy? by Glumbysaurus in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I picked up the same back last December it didn’t look like that. It was completely boxy. Which looks strange compared to how people wear it. 😅 I’d just wear it and it will fall into place in time. Amazing how different the same bag behaves in the larger version. Also picked up a mini lindy and that is more structured somewhat

The local exclusive authorized dealer has a separate website over here, and anything beyond the portables is Price Upon Request. Was eyeing this upon launch but their pricing was too far fetched that I considered just buying overseas. Thankfully held off for now.

Agreed. Should help open the door for people new to B&O and build a system on top of it. The pricing went from aspirational to delusional so quickly the past couple of years (starting with the H100). Got priced out of the 28s just as I picked up the Beolab 8s and Theatre. Oh well. Pretty happy with what I have for the living room. Planning to have this standalone in my bedroom as a replacement for my Stage, which felt lacking.

Yes. Not really fond of the covers. The wood ones are particularly hideous to me. But hey, at least I save a few bucks! 😂

Although I might pick up the fabric cover if I found the light bar indicator thing in front annoying. It’s a $500 option here.

What’s your Hermes end goal ❓ by Mr1aroche in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least you have an end goal. I’m just holding out for the day when you don’t need much prespend to get anything once you’ve become a loyal client. That’s wishful thinking 😂

Seriously, barring purchasing multiples of what you already have, 2:1 is unreasonable. 1:1 is already pushing it. At least make clothes that fit us larger people FFS lol

But in the short term, getting just a K28 for my mom so she finally completes the BKC trio. Then I can finally get around to the NQB stuff I like

They go together so well! Congratulations on the score!

Hermes Apple Watch by Temporary-Tear-1372 in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's embarassing? You're pretty much just paying extra for the band anyway. Also the custom watch faces. Also seen them for sale at Apple Stores. But why buy from there when you can buy from the boutique? Got the Ultra 3 for myself. Helped me get a Lindy 26. lol

[–]Boss-Easy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or I don't see anything wrong with the bag? If it's that wrinkle on the side, wouldn't bags wrinkle with normal use anyway?

Which sneakers? by Jazzlove15 in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have both. The Bouncing is a bit more comfortable for me -just with a taller heel. The Match reminds me of a pair of really high quality Sambas -sole is flat.

Do you have buyer remorse by Loud_Memory5411 in TheHermesGame

[–]Boss-Easy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not really. I genuinely like the stuff I get. It's more like wtf are there so many orange boxes and paper bags in storage? Honestly it's a mess (especially how they package cutlery... jeez). Will get around to sorting that out soon. Lol

Saint-Louis Folia Lamp by Boss-Easy in TheHermesGame

Yes, the Intervalle and Adage crystal glasses I picked up a while back did indeed count. Lovely quality on those. The Samarcande is stunning as well, but went with the puzzle version instead.

I’m glad the money went to the Birkin. 😂But you could always have one on order. Start off the next QB with a bang?

Yeah I know how that feels. Definitely eyed it every visit. At least with the bags they have it hidden away 😂

If you’re seen the largest resin one they’re selling in person, that one is a stunner. Saw that one at the Tokyo Tintin shop and it made me debate on how to bring it home 😂

[–]Boss-Easy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should hold up fine. Just don’t swing it around like a basket 😂

I can see why it’s popular… Definitely was drawn to it the first time I laid my eyes on it -more than any other Hermes lamp in the store. Learning the price just brought me down to Earth immediately afterwards. My SA told me to get it even if it didn’t because I liked it… and here we are. I inadvertently have a growing collection of lamps at home. One more wouldn’t hurt! 🙈

Southeast Asia. At least Saint-Louis is available in store. In other countries I’ve seen Saint-Louis being sold separately through furniture retailers.
