Bang & Olufsen marks a century of audio excellence with The Centennial Collection, a limited-edition trio that fuses archival heritage with modern craftsmanship. Reimagining three icons the Beoplay H100, Beosound A5, and Beosound A9 (5th Gen) this collection pays homage to the brand’s unwavering commitment to timeless design and unparalleled sound.
“Since our founding in 1925, timeless design has been at the heart of everything we craft,” says Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen. “The Centennial Collection honours our past, celebrates our present, and looks to the future. It is a tribute to the icons that have shaped Bang & Olufsen and to the enduring values that define our legacy.”
Each piece draws from defining eras: 1950s checkered grills, 1970s vibrant palettes in Century Red, Chestnut Brown, and Century Blue, 1980s brushed aluminum, and recent refined leather details. Finished with the B&O Est. 1925 Anniversary logo and the founders’ mantra “A never failing will to create only the best” these are more than products; they’re collectible artifacts.
Beoplay H100 Century Brown: Immersive Headphones as Art
The Beoplay H100 elevates personal listening with titanium drivers optimized for Dolby Atmos and class-leading noise cancellation. Its Century Brown finish features a vibrant Century Red outer leather headband paired with Chestnut Brown inner band and cushions, accented by Century Blue details. A natural silver glass disc bears the anniversary logo, while a matching Century Red leather pouch with blue accents makes it a portable heirloom.
Beosound A5 Century Weave: Portable Power with Vintage Soul
This portable powerhouse delivers effortless audio anywhere via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, extended battery, and built-in wireless charging. The special edition’s Beige and Chestnut Brown paper raffia weave evokes 1950s radio grills, framed in brushed aluminum with a Century Red leather strap and Century Blue cable. Anniversary engravings seal its status as a modern classic.
Beosound A9 Century Blue: Sculptural Sound Icon Reborn
A pinnacle of minimalism, the Beosound A9 fills rooms with precision from seven tuned drivers. Wrapped in Kvadrat’s bold Centennial Cadence checkered fabric (Century Blue and Chestnut Brown), it features heritage brushed aluminum ring and legs, plus vibrant Century Blue feet and cable. It’s audio sculpture that commands attention.
