After the accumulation of experiences through times of rapid changes, we now have a desire to reexamine our own values and return to the basics in life. Classic visual and audio systems brand Bang & Olufsen shares such a belief, and just after releasing their groundbreaking BeoPlay series, they showcased their BeoSound Moment Smart Wireless Music System at this year’s CES 2015 Electronics show, providing users with the purest function of music playbacks. Inheriting the quality designs of B&O, its simple rectangular form includes a high definition display screen embedded onto the aluminum panels. Matched with a touch wheel control button, users can easily and elegantly browse through the songs in their music library. When flipped to the back, the technology’s coldness is heavily contrasted with the warm choice of wood, a material which gives off a Nordic feeling and has been the team’s favorite in recent years. This part also supports touch operation and has gentle circular markings, making it a completely wireless device. A complimentary framing support sharing the same aesthetics is also given, so that the BeoSound Moment can be easily stored and rest like an art piece at home.
Currently B&O has partnered up with iCloud music service provider dezzer, offering more than 35 million tracks and is open to more music choices in the future. BeoSound Moment’s Pattern Pay and MoodWheel function also remembers and understands the user’s musical preferences and mood, which in turn plays appropriate music or programs automatically for the moment. The product is compatible with all models of their factory speakers. Priced at USD $2,795, it is expected to be officially available for sale on the 30th of this month.
