This one feels like a timely buy if you need it: the asking price is £53 against a recent GBP median of £207 and a 25th percentile of £103, so it lands well below the low end of the typical used market and reads as a strong deal. For a B&O setup, that’s exactly the sort of accessory that can unlock a system, especially if you’re building around BeoLink gear or replacing a missing room controller.
The upside is practical rather than flashy: these IR eyes are valued for restoring remote control and integration in compatible Bang & Olufsen systems, and they’re often more annoying to source than they look. At this price, the main check is simply completeness and compatibility—make sure the cable, connectors, and any required matching box are included and that it’s the right version for your setup.
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.
