I think this is cool.
It might not be all singing all dancing but every brand needs fast moving good margin products to carry the slower moving lines and generate revenue.
I think its cool, a simple speaker that can be plonked in the kitchen or moved to the garden etc and multiroom is a must.
Interested to learn the price and if it has batteries or just mains powered etc
Does it have any additional, unannouced features or is that it, another wireless multiroom speaker arriving just as others are moving on with Alexa, Google Home etc. ( e.g. I read today that Lenovo are releasing an Alexa based device with Harmon Kardon audio Internals).
I feel with recent product releases as though the company has adopted the shotgun marketing strategy - lets make as many versions of as many things as we can and hopefully some of them might sell, those that don't we can quietly abandon and forget along with those that may have bought them.
B&O usually don't do as 'the others' do, just because they do it!
Personally I would not want Alexa (or any of the others) in my home - must it be?
Not long ago people wished for a smaller NL-multiroom device.
There it is....
....and then that is one too many.
Let us be happy, that we have different speaker systems to choose amongst - we don't have to buy all of them.
That goes for the headphones as well - I am fine with a wired version, my neighbour wants a wireless.
And I wouldn't want to stick small lumps into my ears - others can live without them.....

Fair enough.
The reason I posted originally is that Mrs.P. is in the market for a small compact CD/Radio for the kitchen (she bakes and decorates a lot of cakes)!. I explain the Google Home speaker to her in that she can request music directly, or pull up recipes, youtube demos to be sent to the TV etc., all whilst up to her elbows in Butter Cream - and, even as a committed Technophobe, she would have rushed out and bought one on the spot, (had they been available in the UK and they work as advertised).
What she specifically didn't want to do was have to Faff around with a phone or a tablet to do any of it!
Yes, I used Google Translate.
Seems to be an official press release though.
More pics appeared, still nothing special sadly.

Seems that someone is spoiling the game for B&O Play.
Still more than 3 hours untill the official launch.

The Beeplay M5 can be connected to 'Beeplayer A6', 'Beeplayer A9', 'Beo Sound 1', 'Beo Sound 2' and 'Beo Sound 35'.
No mention of Essence and Moment? 😛
The media center is full of nice pictures of the M5!

It is currently all over my Facebook feed! A very fancy advert.

Well, it's all 'live' now....
I was hoping there would be a picture of an uncovered M5. I'd like to see the layout of the drivers. From the elevation, though, it looks like it's a downward-facing woofer?
