B&O’s Beoremote Halo is the $900 ring your $40,000 speakers hopefully haven’t been waiting for – The Verge

Bang & & Olufsens Beoremote Halo is gorgeous & & costly, but its not absolutely clear why its necessary, or what it actually … is. Heres what we do understand: It costs $900, and is a round gadget with a rectangular touch screen that lets you control the Bang & & Olufsen music system you certainly have in your home. Because B&O doesnt do awful, and of course it looks sexy as hell.

Why do I need this?Bang & & Olufsen

The table stand version has a battery so you can move it from room to space, and the Halo can be charged via USB-C, or B&Os Beoplay Qi charging pad (which itself costs substantially more than most charging pads, at $125). Thats sort of a fancy way of explaining what many Bluetooth-enabled devices do, but OK.

A radio? There are 2 Halo alternatives for some factor: a wall-mounted variation and a portable table stand range. The latter is already offered out online, presuming it was in stock to begin with.

Even after reading the specifications and description of what the Halo does, Im still trying to figure out why you require a bespoke orb like this to play music in your home. Its a round remote control for your home music system.

That other device in the background is the $40,000 Beolab 50. That is not a typo. Bang & & Olufsen

9 hundred dollars for an attractive vehicle radio? Or is it a remote control? Im still very confused.

And of course it looks hot as hell due to the fact that B&O does not do unsightly.
