Website BOGO: “For a limited time, every purchase of two or more speakers comes with a complimentary Beosound Explore in Chestnut.” Not that you would think of this as any kind of a discount on your Beolab 90 purchase (barely even on two A1s vs. retailer discounts) but if you were planning to gift Explore(s) to someone(s), now is as good a time as any to buy 2 and get 3. (seen on US/CA website, doesn’t say promo end date or whether it’s country-specific.)
Promo ending tomorrow, October 15, per B&O’s e-mail — plus footnote: “Beosound Explore only available in Green variant.”
(Of course they mean that the free one is now Green not Chestnut. As of today in the NA market, all colors are available on the website, even Navy which was formerly out of stock.)
A so called “Private Sale” started today Nov 4th, only online. Check your inboxes. The offers are not too bad …
Peter Tysons sent me a private sale email.
H95s we’re noteworthy at £200 discount apparently?
Also got the private sale mail. A9 from €3099 to €2399 and Edge €3250 to €1999 (silver only). Thats a real bargain!
Read my Edge promotions and get the deal of the century 😉
USA: From November 21 – November 28, 2022: Save 27% off retail price on Beolit 20, 24% off retail price on Beoplay HX, 37% off retail price on Beosound A1 and 40% off retail price on Beoplay Portal — “at participating Bang & Olufsen monobrand locations in the US and on Bang-olufsen.com only. Product availability may vary from Bang & Olufsen partner location and certain exclusions may apply.”
The 20% off with code FLASHSALE is back for USA & Canada thru January 31, on Level and Balance in all variants. For the Balance, that brings it back to its release price in 2020 (which was USD2250(~CAD3000)), less a few bucks: $2200/2480/2720. For the Level, prices were only raised by $100 so it feels more like an actual sale: $1280/1480.
30% off Beoplay A9, both website & dealers, thru 2/20/2023. Brings the price back to its 2012 release: USD2450 black / white, $2660 gold-tone. Presumably this signals that a Mozart’ed version is ready to ship! (Thanks to BeoBoston for doing the e-mail blast notice. Coyly, they also hint they may have leftover stock in some previous colors.)
20% off Beolab 18s *IF* you buy a Theatre at full price. USA & Canada only, in store only, March 1 thru April 30.
Seeing as they raised the price of the Theatre by $500 on March 1, and the “excess discount” of 5% over the previous sale (15%) on the Beolab 18s amounts to $500, the left hand giveth and the right hand taketh away. But if you were already planning to buy this particular combo before the price increase, now’s the time!
Also a 25% discount offered on Beolab 18s when full-price Theatre is bought, if you also buy *TWO* Beolab 19s (also discounted the 25%). Some marketing person made the margins work out right, but it undercuts the notion that one sub with a pair of 18s was the proper bundle.
Visible in the USA at least, today amazon.com has the black/aluminum Beosound Level on sale at US$1213.62. They call that “26% off” but of course that’s post- last year’s price hike. The gold color is not quite so marked-down at US$1679. Non-GVA, of course.
amazon.com has lowered their price on the Beosound Level aluminum/black to $1127.
Apparently their discounts were precedent to a new B&O discount of 20% off the Level and the Stage — the aluminum & black fabric models only — because amazon is matching their price for the Stage, $1599. (B&O 20% visible from the USA, I didn’t check elsewhere.)
[EDIT: As of April 5, amazon’s price for the Level is back up to $1299, roughly the same ($20 cheaper) as B&O website.]
USA & Canada, thru April 30: Beoplay H95, 25% off, dealer & website.
E-mail blast to North America: code “PRIVATESALE23” offers 25% discount on “a selection of products.” But the only products discounted are Balance w/ Google Voice Assistant. Also available at dealers, thru May 22 or none left.
Also, not available online, but local dealers with leftover stock of Beoplay A9 4th Gen, Beosound 1, & Beosound 2 will be selling at “special offers” in stores. (Each of these but the BS2 has been offered at 25 or 30% off, long before their EOL now.)
[Edit: As of May 24, the offer was extended on A9 4th-gen black only, until they run out.] [Edit 2: As of May 29, amazon.com still has white A9 gen.4 for USD 2537.50, slightly lower than dealership prices for the remaining black ones.]
As of July 10, amazon.com is selling their remaing Beosound Edge units at $2,234.81. (Roughly the same as last year’s sale price at Peter Tyson.) Use the search term “Bang & Olufsen 1666130 Beosound Edge” (or its ASIN, B07PMDVX72) because some third-party is also selling some, at near retail price! Natural aluminum, black fabric, USA. As the listing says, “Be sound edge is Wi-Fi enabled… Equipped with bobolink multi room functionality…” (:-) Chirrup to you!
[Edit: July 11, price raised to MSRP. Wonder if they are prepping for “Prime” offer of “fantabulous discount”. View the waterfall price chart at camclcamelcamel.com.]
USA, thru August 23: B&O website “back-to-school” special: A9 previous generation, in black, $2100. Also modest discounts from MSRP on Beoplay EX, HX, Explore: https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/back-to-school
amazon.com is running the same price on the white A9 4th gen (ASIN=B08FBMQ6GM) and black, but gold is goofy-priced.
[Edit August 14: B&O website A9 gen.4 gone; August 15: amazon.com now white only, a few left. August 17: amazon.com now black only at that price, white higher from some third-party arbitrageur.]
amazon.com has a few aluminum Balance for $2275. (ASIN=B0B69SZNNW) This is vs. B&O website $3250, which is 30% off. Compared to the Balance original release price ($2250) it doesn’t look like such a bargain. But if you wanted the newer aluminum model to match your old gear but were putting it off, now’s your chance!
