Bang & Olufsen announces the launch of the BeoSound Moment at CES 2015

The new BeoSound Moment by Bang & Olufsen is an intelligent wireless music system that adds a touch of playful creativity to the mundane task of accessing your music library.

The detachable, double-sided interface features aluminum on one side, and wood on the other. On the aluminum side, a touch screen allows you to browse online music catalogues, your favorite playlists, and allows you to share your collection. The wooden side on the other hand, is designed for one-touch access thanks to a beautiful panel of touch-sensitive oak which allows you to have your favorite tunes flowing from your speakers with just a touch on the wooden wheel.

Intelligent PatternPlay

This new feature allows the BeoSound Moment to adapt to your listening patterns so it can suggest music or radio programs that fit the day of the week and time of day. Love having Eye of the Tiger blasting away when you work-out on the Sundays? PatternPlay allows your BeoSound Moment to memorize this and queue it up for you. Over time, the BeoSound Moment will learn your taste in music and be able to play what you most likely will want to hear.

The music presented by PatternPlay comes from your own preferred favorite artists and playlists plus an extensive online catalogue of music supplied by leading global music streaming service Deezer. And you can activate PatternPlay with one touch on the elegant oak panel.

Intuitive MoodWheel

On the (literal) flip side, the Aluminum interface displays the innovative MoodWheel , which is a multi-colored wheel that activates an automatically generated playlist based on where your finger falls. The closer to the center of the wheel; the more familiar the music is to you. The songs from the middle of the MoodWheel will be picked exclusively from your list of favorites, while the outer perimeter will bring suggestions from the vast online catalogue of songs your BeoSound Moment is connected to. Color also plays a part, with the red zone bringing more passionate pieces and the yellow area more energetic tunes. Combined, the MoodWheel offers infinite possibilities for music selection.

The BeoSound Moment will be available exclusively at Bang & Olufsen Grand Hyatt showroom from end February, 2015.

The recommended street price is S$ 4000, and this includes 12 months of prepaid Deezer Premium+.
