Bang & & Olufsens Beoremote Halo is gorgeous & & pricey, however its not completely clear why its needed, or what it in fact … is. Heres what we do understand: It costs $900, and is a round device with a rectangular touch screen that lets you manage the Bang & & Olufsen music system you clearly have in your home. And of course it looks hot as hell because B&O does not do unsightly.
Why do I need this?Bang & & Olufsen
There are two Halo options for some reason: a portable table and a wall-mounted variation stand variety. The table stand version has a battery so you can move it from room to space, and the Halo can be charged by means of USB-C, or B&Os Beoplay Qi charging pad (which itself costs significantly more than the majority of charging pads, at $125). Even after reading the specifications and description of what the Halo does, Im still attempting to figure out why you need a bespoke orb like this to play music in your home. Its a round remote control for your home music system.
Bang & & Olufsen is well understood for its expensive variation of headphones, speakers, wise speakers, and other audio products, so its not a big surprise that this remote control would be stunning and expensive. However the description of the Halo isnt quite living up to the typical B&O buzz, imo: “If youre listening to a specific radio station on your Bang & & Olufsen music system, you can push and hold a preferred button and the specific radio station will now be kept on this button. The simplicity of storing a preferred is the [very same] concept as car radios have actually used for decades.” Nine hundred dollars for an attractive vehicle radio? Or is it a remote control? Im still extremely baffled.
A radio? There are two Halo options for some factor: a portable table and a wall-mounted variation stand range. The latter is already sold out online, presuming it was in stock to start with.
That other gadget in the background is the $40,000 Beolab 50. That is not a typo. Bang & & Olufsen

Thats sort of an elegant method of explaining what most Bluetooth-enabled devices do, but OK.
And of course it looks attractive as hell because B&O doesnt do awful.
