Bang & Olufsen took control at CES and showcased a wireless music system termed ‘BeoSound Moment’ which is a two-sided tablet that accesses your cloud music and tries to play music according to your mood and surroundings.
The Next Web said, that the device is a minimalist wooden panel that rests on a base and lets you start playing music with just a tap; a circular portion of the the wood is touch sensitive.
The capacitive touch interface has a wooden surface. To be exact, it sports real oak wood. It would be smaller than an average tablet and sports the distinctive Bang & Olufsen logo. The streaming device comes with a full touchscreen panel which uses something known as ‘Pattern Play’ that learns our listening habits based on the music which is played at different times of the day.
The device only focuses on playing according to our moods. The report further added that, the system pulls its music from Deezer and users can listen to Internet radio via TuneIn or access stored music via iTunes.
The device can also be used for bluetooth playback so you can stream music from different websites from your devices. Users can also plug in their device for a direct line to their sound system. It’s as simple as tapping near the center to play music you are familiar with or tapping around the edges if you are feeling adventurous.
B&O BeoSound Moment will be available exclusively at Bang & Olufsen stores from 30th January and will have a price tag of $2,795 in the US (approx Rs 1,77,300), £1795 in the UK and €2195 in the rest of Europe.
