Moment. 

No airplay 2, bluetooth and BeoLink ( tunein, deezer and DLNA built in)

Wisa built in yes, no need for transmitter 1. 

Don´t expect more software update of Beosound moment, since its EOL more then 1 year ago. 

Beosound core and new remote (sept?) , and skip Wisa, cable your beolab 17 to get a nice working setup instead :)

Interesting. 

Why was it such a product failure? Usually B&O supports products for many years. The Moment in not that old.

The initial Software was really bad.

I bought one upon launch and had it a few years.

Think the idea of collecting all your music including eg ripped CDs on a NAS in one place with a user interface that was not a phone, was a nice idea.

The later much improved firmware made me very happy with the Moment.

However, I realized I used to little and sold it.

Think lack of native Spotify support was one reason for failure. Another that few people consume music that way. Most people just trigger playlists from the phone and are happy with that. The premium price point is another reason.

I love mine, it looks great, sure it could be better functionality but it’s stable now and does what it’s meant to do. Major plus for me is the line in so I can multi room stream the Beogram that’s connected to it.

Same here. I’m missing the MoodWheel (no longer working as initially designed), hopefully B&O will fix it or find an alternative.

I really like my Moment to! For me it is still the best way to play my music all around the house. The issue with the moodwheel is very annoying because that is the real USP for the Moment. Just press a colour of the Moodwheel and it will play anything from your music collection only to everything but your collection!

I try to motivate B&O Support for a fixture but not that sure it will be fixed.

My biggest wish is a Moment MK2, with a little extra tweaking and a more modern OS it would make one hell of a music server.

Be aware that the tablets are notorious of dying so buy the Moment cheap! Count on €500 for an replacement tablet. My guess is that is the main reason B&O stopped with the Moment. No more spare parts and they need certain amount of stock parts to keep service them for a few years after EOL.

I liked the design and concept of the Beosound Moment. Combining local music and streaming music content in one device with an enjoyable and easy userexperience. Unfortunately Bang&Olufsen never managed to get it working fluently. Like so often B&O gave up and focused on new products, leaving customers back with an technical immature product.

When you are looking for software  that does a really good job combining local and streaming content flawlessness and enjoyable l strongly suggest Roon Labs.

I still like mine, even though after moving it's only taken me a year to get around to making it work reliably! 😁

Liking it even more now its working with Deezer Hifi and playing FLAC from there.

Yes there is the issue with the mood wheel on my own stuff, but still works with Deezer, so still a nice way to find new music.

Great information!

I guess if it has Bluetooth then it’s still can stream any music service from your phone. 
 
Does anyone know if it displays album artwork when you stream Bluetooth streaming from your phone?

Just tried with an iPhone and two different music apps, only Bluetooth is displayed on the JukeBox screen
