Hot new gear

What is it? Bang & Olufson is keeping up with the times by creating a music system that integrates your music collection and streaming services with a touch-sensitive wooden interface and a colour wheel. The wooden side of the detachable control panel is completely minimalist, working a bit like an iPod click-wheel, while the colour wheel allows you to set your mood, with the Beosound Moment choosing music to match. When’s it due? Available soon. Why are we excited? B&O is renowned for great sound and gorgeously styled audio products. The luxurious nature is obviously crave-inducing, but what B&O has done on the usability side is equally impressive.
