Bang & Olufsen make some very pretty speakers
that are part of its Beoplay lineup, and at CES 2017 this year, the company has
taken the wraps off their latest offering in the form of the Beoplay M5. If
you’re thinking that this is just another set of speakers from the company,
think again as B&O have added a little something extra.
With the Beoplay M5, B&O have included support
for Google’s Chromecast technology. What this means is that these speakers will
be able to stream from all kinds of music streaming services and connect to
multiple devices in your home, so if you want to use it in the kitchen and
answer a call at the same time, it will not be an issue.
The speakers will also come with True360 degree
omnidirectional sound and will be equipped with a 5-inch neodymium long stroke
woofer. Given that these are speakers from B&O, naturally they will look
good as well and the Beoplay M5 will sport a wool-blend fabric wrapped around
the speaker, with a matte aluminum top, which can be rotated to adjust the
volume, or pressing down on it will turn pause/play the music.
As expected the Beoplay M5 does not come cheap and
it is priced at US$ 600. It is already available for purchase so head on over to
B&O’s website for the details.
