Bang & Olufsen Introduce £400 4GB MP3 Player

[cdawall]

Performance all around, including the suspension, braking, everything related, chassis is the same, body is slightly different *same material*, same exact motor, maybe a slightly different plastic covering the motor. Different wheels, tires. Caliper says Ferrari instead of Corvette.

And like I said the interior is slightly different, there are small differences, Ferrari cannot build a car that doesn't meet Ferrari buyers requirements, but its not worth the price difference, you are paying for the name. It was a deal that gave Ferrari a base model road/track car to sell to its market, and gave Chevrolet a Corvette that is one sick monster.

your a sad sad little man

They Havent got a SINGLE part in common...Not even in specs....Lets drop it because just equalizing a car like the Z06 with a Ferrari is dumb.

Sorry I looked into it again I was slightly wrong, the original design version had the same motor, they decided to put their v12 into it. It was in an article in SuperCar magazine, before the release. But never the less they didn't change the chassis, and they still perform dead on par with each other.

no they dont the Z06 hits 60 in 3.7sec the marranello 4.25sec
the Z06 tops out @199mph the marranello 202mph
the Z06 does the 1/4 mile in 11.5 @ 127.1 marranello 12.6 sec @ 116 mph


top speeds are the only close numbers yet again READ UP FIRST POST SECOND

Expensive things when it comes to Electronics dont always outperform less expensive brands...Do you really think B&O makes their own TVs ? Slice one open and see what components it has..

As far as the actual screens they use I was told by one of their shop managers, who seemed very interested in the products he sold, that Panasonic made some of their screens but were contractually obliged to keep B&O 1 "generation" ahead. I'd believe this from what my eyes tell me

Personally knowing multiple people that own Z06s... the 11.5 1/4 is with Drag radials on them, they run mid-low 12's on factory tires. The 3.7 0-60 is also probably on Drag radials, one of the owners is a professional drag racer, and he nails consistent 4ish flats on stock tires.

correct for the 1/4mile BUT WRONG the 0-60 was done on stock tires with MT drivers behind the wheel not to mention .25sec is still a lot to MOST car guys when you talking about 0-60

Okay then its possible he is nice to his car in the start off, it is his DD for spring/summer/fall. But non the less nobody races 0-60, its 1/4 mile or hit the track, in which case they are neck and neck once again.

anyways back on subject...

I think the price is inflated, but I am willing to bet the quality of it is top notch. They are also a company that is known for selling at higher prices based on styling, which is also a reason for the high price tag. But out of all the companies that make personal Mp3 players, I don't think anyone else is going to come close to this for awhile.

what kind of amp you use?

My stupid practice amp is evil. (Fender 15g)

I use 2 kinds of Amps. my practise amp is a crappy marshall DFX 30watt gay combo thing
when it comes to playing live i use a Fender Hotrod Deluxe, 40watts of fat vintage all valve crunch

 

[rhythmeister]

Can I just add that the Ferrari has a decent, high revving racing engine?!

I love valves but I can't afford them

 

[rhythmeister]

My 100 Watt Carvin X-Amp is rather tasty! 2nd hand is the way to go, just get yrself sum great power valves and yr flying

 

[FreedomEclipse]

yeah nor could I until a mate sold me the fender amp for half the retail price - the amp itself isnt new but its in great condition. the guy even swapped all the old valves out of it when I bought it for 300Quid

Mmmmm, Fender tube amps. I have a '69 Princeton 10" 25w combo with Groove Tubes in it. Nothing sounds quite like those 12ax7's.

Engadget :
Style-maven Bang & Olufsen has introduced a new DAP into the mix, called the Beosound 6. Breaking from typical B&O design convention -- which can often be a little absurd (see the
Beosound 2 and 3) -- the Beosound 6 is a strikingly simple design; a silver, candy-bar shaped audio player with stripped-down controls and a thin LCD display. Specs are light at the moment, but it looks like standard MP3 / WMA playback, 4GB of flash memory (jettisoning the company's previous SD storage scheme), a 65K color LCD screen, and USB connectivity. The player will also be accompanied by a leather case and the company's A8 earphones, and will retail for around £400 ($812 US).

Trusted Reviews :
Label freaks' favourite Bang & Olufsen has announced the 'Beosound 6', a 4GB flash player with more than a passing resemblance to Samsung's year old YP-Z5. Unfortunately however whereas the 4GB Sammy model retails for under £140, B&O will be charging £400...
If you aren't screaming out loud with consternation or laughing hysterically then you should be. This is simply outrageous and forget that it comes with a leather case (£20) and pair of B&O A8 earphones (£90), it still costs more than an Xbox 360 Premium!


Missleading how exactly ?????
Its a 400 Pounds Mp3 player...Did i say anything else ???

Yep my YP-Z5F, $300 AUD, 4GB, people laugh at it and go its shit until they hear the superior audio quality! And it makes my crappy earphones have good sound quality!

 

[HellasVagabond]

I would never give that money for an Mp3 player....I rarely walk and when i do my Nokia N93 is more than capable of playing mp3s.
Instead i have a 3.000 euros stereo in my car.....Since i like to drive a lot

 

[russianboy]

Sovtek tubes ftw!

^^^Best bass amp in the world right there imo.


This marshall any good?
