Bang & & Olufsens Beoremote Halo is gorgeous & & costly, but its not absolutely clear why its essential, or what it in fact … is. Heres what we do know: It costs $900, and is a round device with a rectangle-shaped touch screen that lets you control the Bang & & Olufsen music system you clearly have in your home. And of course it looks sexy as hell because B&O does not do ugly.
Why do I need this?Bang & & Olufsen
Bang & & Olufsen says the Halo “offers you all the benefit of an easy interface,” lights up when you get close, and offers a one-button press to select your music. So its a speaker? A radio? “There is no need to use your mobile gadget or to pull anything out of your pocket and fiddle around trying to find the right app to get begun.” OK, no apps. There are two Halo choices for some factor: a portable table and a wall-mounted variation stand range. The latter is currently sold out online, presuming it was in stock to start with.
The table stand variation 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 the majority of charging pads, at $125). Thats sort of an elegant way of describing what the majority of Bluetooth-enabled gadgets do, however OK.
Even after reading the specifications and description of what the Halo does, Im still trying to determine why you need a bespoke orb like this to play music in your house. This isnt an Echo, a Portal or a Google Home, theres no voice assistant here. Its a round remote control for your home music system. Thats all it does. That is, if you have $900 to invest.
That other device in the background is the $40,000 Beolab 50. That is not a typo. Bang & & Olufsen
9 hundred dollars for a sexy automobile radio? Or is it a remote control? Im still extremely confused.
And of course it looks attractive as hell due to the fact that B&O doesnt do awful.
