By ForGeeks
In honor of its centennial anniversary, Danish manufacturer Bang & Olufsen has unveiled an exclusive Centennial Collection series featuring special variants of the Beoplay H100 headphones, as well as the Beosound A9 and A5 speakers. The Centennial Collection features retro design and unique finishes.
Representatives of the company say that the designers drew inspiration from different stages of the brand’s history when creating the new products. Featuring a leather headband and decorative glass discs on the earcups, the Beoplay H100 Anniversary Edition features a ’70s-inspired color scheme, while keeping the main technical parameters almost identical.

Each device in the anniversary collection features the company’s founders’ quote, “An unwavering commitment to create only the best,” as well as the signature logo “B&O Est. 1925”.
The special version of the Beosound A5 speaker differs from the standard model with brushed aluminum bezel and fabric trim reminiscent of vintage radios. The technical component remains modern, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and a 280W speaker system.
