It is better for me to know the design earlier. Because I hate guessing and having this.... unease feeling “What’s it going to look like?”

It is the design that we can see, it does not tell exactly the specifications and the pricing yet. Thus, I still wait for the full introduction, although I saw some of the pictures

More expensive than a Beo6 in 2011, but cheaper than a Beoremote One Smile

search the web for "beoremote-halo" + "azurewebsites" and you will find the B&o pages for this new product

 

Note: I can not open the page on my iMac/PC. But I opened the site on my iPad and iPhone (and took pics).

Edit: actually, now I can Cool

 

Edited: use BING and put beoremote-halo azurewebsites in the search box

 

the Halo looks great and promising; 3 possible colors, wall mouted or table stand, Bluetooth, Wifi (2.4/5), Lan

I got it in Bing, too. This is a beautiful piece!

I’m little unclear about how it will get power, however.

USB-C/DC 5-30 V/Ethernet (PoE)”

So the wall will have to be pre-drilled to accommodate it, whereas a Moment remote can take a replaceable battery and just be affixed anywhere on a wall. Bummer.

Currently: BeoLab 17, BeoLab 18, BeoSound Core, Beosound Level, Beosound A1 2nd Gen, BeoPlay S8 Connection Hub, Halo, Essence Remote

Previously: BeoSound 1 non-GVA

There is no manual for it on that site yet. I wish they had included photos of the screen in operation.

Wow that halo looks great! Very curious how the display looks.

This might be the new center piece of anyones B&O collection. Does anyone know when it will be in the stores?

The H95 looks huge to start with...if it syncs with the beovisions it might be interesting..

BV Harmony 65 / Eclipse 55 / BL 50 / 19 / 18 / BS 2 all brass

BV Horizon 48 / V1 40 / BL 17 / Beoplay S3 all black

V1 / BL 3 / BS Essence MKII / Beoplay A3 all white

BS Moment / BS 3000 / BS 3200 / BL 400 all silver

Headphones / bluetooth speakers / BLC NL-ML / BLGateway

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !

Indeed - while it looks very nice. whether I want one or not will depend on the scope of what it can do.

While it will obviously be able to control in built sources of various B&O music products (A9, BS 1,2 etc), it would be awesome if it could see the DLNA music that my Moment has folded in.

If it does, then we're off and running (for me).

And I wonder what it can do TV control wise - anything beyond volume control would be interesting, though I doubt.

Perhaps not too long to find out.

I'm curious to see how easy it will be to switch between devices. Hopefully fewer buttons to navigate than a BeoRemote One to switch between devices. I'm already envisioning one in bronze for my kitchen. It would look great with all of the copper in my kitchen, and I could readily control the BeoSound 1 in the kitchen as well as the BeoPlay A6 in the dining room.

I'm crossing my fingers that they're not forgetting the NL/ML converter.

Something like this could be a great light switch replacement for the main room if it can control the lights.

Also it looks to be a good solution for “link” room remote control.

I have an essence mk2 with wheelie in my kitchen but this could replace the wheelie

Its very much not a (new) Moment.

Its only a controller for other products and their music sources.

The bigger question is whether it offers the full range of control of a BR One, or the B&O app.

Or both?

Anyway, looks nice in pic at least.

I don’t think it has to be, Qi (wireless) charging is also mentioned. Ideal for the tabletop remote, it seems to be portable and chargeable with the zany Qi-charging pad.

My dealer has advised that at launch the Halo will have rather basic functions as a music controller to replace the Essence remote. However, the Halo is designed to receive future software updates to add features.
