Is €2,099 a bargain for a Bang & Olufsen Beosound Balance demo, or is it simply paying full retail for a used unit? This asking price is massively overpriced compared to the typical used market, sitting nearly ten times higher than the median of €226 and far above the 75th percentile of €407 from 249 recent EUR listings. While the original retail was roughly €2,000–€3,700 depending on finish, a demo model should trade at a steep discount, not near new pricing.
The Beosound Balance is a highly regarded active loudspeaker known for its stunning oak or marble finishes and room-filling sound that blends midrange clarity with deep bass. However, buying this demo at €2,099 offers no meaningful upside unless it includes rare accessories or is in pristine, original-owner condition with a full warranty. At this price, you are better off hunting for units near the €226 median or waiting for a true bargain below €120, as this listing is an ambitious overpay for a well-loved product.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
