Why does everyone hate the B&O stereo?

?

Wasn't his answer clear enough?

I’ve read all these responses and not once did anyone mention that the system is not actually Bang & Olufsen.

In Audi’s, BMW’s, etc you are getting a true Bang & Olufsen system with actual Bang & Olufsen drivers.

In F150’s, Raptors, and Expeditions, you are getting B&O Play. NOT Bang & Olufsen. B&O Play is a completely different line and completely different brand. The B&O Play brand was originally introduced as a more budget-friendly offering for headphones and speakers.

Today, the brands have since merged but when our trucks were built, B&O Play was entirely separate of Bang & Olufsen. Keep in mind, just because they merged, even the 2020’s are produced with the B&O Play System.

Have never heard that before now. Thanks for the education!

Ford states directly in their brochure they offer the “B&O Play sound system” not “Bang & Olufsen”. I don’t think anyone was hiding anything. People just read B&O and forget the “play” portion.

the headphones line is called BEO play, I am not sure if it is the same thing. I never really knew the difference other than their ear pieces kept falling out of my ears. I ended up selling them and getting something different.

Not much difference from the Sony system to the B&O system to me, I actually think maybe the Sony system was better. Didn't some early 2017s come with Sony setups.

Go back to your Subaru and quit trolling! It's B&O. Read the title, not the web address.

I didn't say they hid it

I said they milked the B&O brand name and used subpar B&O-grade components

Wasn’t accusing you.
