Beoremote Halo, the future B&O remote control

Typical of the issues B&O have with their software teams. Not even one day on the market for the Halo and B&O app has to be fixed for proper support ... I’m ready to test any of their products if they need help prior releasing them on the market!

Hi,

I can actually do multiroom with my A6 and Essence MK2. But later products I think have that problem.

There was a point in time where newly launched products would not support Spotify Connect anymore and Beosound Balance is the only one that I know that has it in recent time.

So I would not bet on the Balance getting an update.

Cheers

JK

 

 

 

That was quickErm..

I've disabled the Airplay Multiroom on all products, did a factory reset on the Halo, removed the Halo from the B&O app, and re-added the Halo to the B&O app. There is still no join icon. I did get a message that a software update to the Halo is available. However, it's been updating for ages with no end. Maybe these issues have something to do with the need for an update to the B&O app?

Update: The software update for the Halo finally completed and I now have the join icon.

The remote looks amazing. In my case, it would replace an iPad that is running the B&O App. It’s $900. At $400 it would have been an easy decision. Beautiful design, but priced a bit too high IMHO. The H95 costs $50 less!

Glad to read that! But more importantly, does the Halo work while Airplay over multiroom is checked on all your products?

None of my local stores have any advertising, let alone prices etc. Way of the world I guess.
