    Beoplay 8 using airplay fails after 10 minutes

    My first experiences with Beoplay 8 were quite good and I really love the sound and design. But around the same time I upgraded my iMac to ML, using Airplay with the Beoplay became a problem. After 10 minutes it just stops and only starts playing again when reconnecting it in iTunes! B&O support doesn't react at all. Something you wouldn't expect from such a company...

    Beoplay8 and iphone 4s sound

    Great sound from Beoplay8. Unfortunately, since trying to link by airplay using the B&O app have lost external sounds on my iphone 4s. Despite removing the B&O app and checking for alternative reasons such as dirty earphone plug in and docking area on phone unable to get sounds back consistently. Have tried restoring factory settings. Docking and undocking on the beoplay8 brings back the sounds for a few minutes and then it goes again. Has anybody had a similar problem and if so is there a solution?

    The Beoplay A8 is everything i hoped it would be and more, the design is as always perfect to the smallest detail, even the remote is beautiful. Airplay works perfectly, you just connect the dock to your network wirelessly, and you are ready to go. And then there is the matter of the sound - What else can i say than WOW, i´ve had a couple of different speaker docks (this one is staying), but so for the A8 is the one with the best sound and design.

    The BeoSound 8 was beautiful and sounded fantastic. This product is essentially an upgrade with AIrPlay wireless streaming. The setup is quite easy by initially connecting your iPhone with the dock connector on top and typing in the settings for your home wifi network.
    The sound is astonishing from such a compact system - not just deep bass, but an airy and unconstrained sound. The build quality is reassuring, and the thick slabs of aluminum that cover the front is gorgeous.
