I think B&O should integrate 'voice activated controls' into their new remote.

Now that would be something I would buy immediately...

Also, when I doze off and snore, the music could switch automatically to lower volume and a 'softer' choice playlist ...

Well, if that doesn't stress you out, what would? 😂

Honestly though, very well put! A very refreshing take on the situation!

B,

Over the years I have come to view the door dings on the 911 as "patina" indicating that, yes, this person actually uses their's.

M,

My BS5 has never crashed..... however my ATV crashes at least once a week. Uhhm.....

One would just have to hope that no music or television sound is playing when you issue a command? 😁

Affineur,

Well played, sir.

LOL  .. true. Just don't want make things too easy for B&O either.  

The technology exists, (ex voice commanded GPS in cars, voice controled cell phones, speciality software for disabled people to control their pc's) so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to work out, I think and I am sure B&O could come up with a way to make it work design wise.
For fun, I even did try the built in voice commands  in osx on my imac and it seems to work well (though the commands are limited).... even with the useless built-in little mic. Maybe build a directional little microphone into the remote ? 

Perhaps such a system would just need (to be programable to) react to its master's voice and few others only, otherwise there would indeed be troubles as pointed out above - or during a family quarel (or an excited party) as to what should the system be playing now. 🙂

You got a point there.

Yes I think it should be programmable to certain voices.  A necessity, just like speech recognition software I suppose.
However it could be this easy to push a button on the remote to make it 'listen' to commands  or have a 'trigger' word first automatically dimming the sound and  then acknowledge the given command .
