£45 sits just above the £44 median for recent GBP comparables, so this is fairly priced rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It is also comfortably within the middle of the market, below the £71 75th percentile, which makes it a sensible buy if you want one now and the condition is decent.
The upside here is straightforward: it’s a well-known Bang & Olufsen control accessory, and these usually appeal to owners who need a clean replacement or want to keep a B&O system complete and working as intended. At this level, the key is simple buyer diligence: make sure it’s fully functional, not battery-damaged or button-worn, and that any needed cable or pairing-related bits are included, because those details matter more than chasing a lower number.
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.
