I swear I’m going crazy, this is now the second time on this thread where i have posted something good lol and it didn’t appear. So frustrating

Yes, the stand is a Heckler Design.

It is also sold in Aussie Land under a different brand in the national chain of shops called Officeworks.

It is more stable and effective for multi room than my encore ever was, although the encore looks way better of course. But functionality , it’s on a different level.

I had 5 iPads, so made sense to make one of them a music centre for deezer and my collection.

With the rain fall I think the product is, i just used permanent marker on the front facing screws to blend them in to the black surround.

Thanks Michael and marexy

I’m going to dedicate an iPad just to music now I’m using a Core. Need to buy a new one so the only question is which one to keep for general use and which one for music. Now that really is a first world problem.

And the core is hi Rez so that’s good

Now that is an easy one - the old for music and the new one for general use.

 

By the way: there have always been 2 main categories of ‘users’ when it comes to controlling music with a mobile device.

Firstly there are those, who seem to have their (i)Phones glued to their hands.....ready for action all the time, 24/7.

Secondly there are those who wants to seperate work, talking on a phone, using social media/mail from their listening to music at home.

Those were the guys that B&O tried to serve with the concept of the BS Moment!

However, when this does not work (it is EOL anyway) or the way the Moment works was not enough, a seperate tablet/iPad (Mini) can be the solution of that problem.

 

Personally I have had an (older) iPad Mini dedicated for the Bang & Olufsen app and a few other app for my music setup AND my iPad, that I use for general things (pretty much everything), for quite a while now. The app is of course complemented with the physical Beo remote.

 

I can only recommend dedicating an iPad for the B&O setup to everybody..........unless he/she happens to be in the first category.

It could be the battery in your case which will be cheaper. In my case they checked it and said due to the model i had it had to be replaced

You are right of course MM, and that is what I will do..........

Here I am thinking of buying a new Beosound Moment at a good price with a 2 year warranty, after the software has finally matured and stabilised yet everyone else is moving to a Core....someone out there must be enjoying the Moment and preferring it to an iPad in their hands...?

Hi seethroughyou,

I must be the die hard Moment fan, use it all the time and really love the device. Unfortunately I had one that died on me and had it fixed (around €450). Something with the motherboard of the tablet.

What I like most is the B&O look and feel of the tablet when playing music with the family. When docked it looks just cool.

Integration in Multiroom is also perfect, only thing that might trouble you is the limited sound settings in comparison with a modern Beovision. With a TV you get the most out of your Beolabs. Then again you can connect the Moment to your BV as standard and use the connected BL’s through the tv.

If I remember you can buy a completely new Moment for around €1500? In Holland / Belgium the going rate for pre used Moments are €1200-€1350.

If you are drawn to the design, go for it.

Comparison with a iPad looks a bit silly to me. Off course the app will give you full control either but and an iPad itself can be nice to look at. But a nice car is not a nice convertible and with the latter you actually can turn the roof open and enjoy your sunny drives. Hence, the Moment will give you an more exclusive feel than the app. The mood wheel among others.
