Beosound Moment - very happy

16 replies

More of an expression of contentment than a question really but I have just bought a Beosound Moment and connected it to my BV10 speakers via my Core. It is a massive improvement from using my phone/ipad for streaming music. I really like the interface on the Moment. It feels like a wholesome, pure Bang & Olsen experience now, from Moment to Speaker, with no fiddling around with a phone. And I love the look of the Moment, completely beats having an iPad lying around, or on a stand. Great device, works perfectly, creates a special music browsing experience - very happy B&O customer! 

Congrats!

It would be great if TIDAL Connect were built into these devices and the Halo. 

For an even better integrated experience, you can play the Moment through your BV10 speakers by connecting the BV10 to an NL/ML Converter. The Moment can then see the BV10 in its speaker setup and completely integrate with the BV10.

Thanks but I don't know what that would add to what I have now. I hit N-Music on the Beo4 and then use the Moment. I can select speaker 1-5 via the Beo4. Happy days.

The NL/ML Converter will give you true integration. For example, using the screen controls on the Moment will turn on the Beovision. A long press in the middle of the wheel will turn off the Beovision. Running your finger along the wheel of the Moment will control the volume of the Beovision.

Does this integration of Moment and Beovision work with current B&O TVs (like Eclipse or Harmony), too?

It does. This is was is considered an integrated setup. In addition to having a Moment integrated with a BV10 in my bedroom, I also have a Moment integrated with a BeoSystem 4 in my living room (which is already NL so it does not need an NL/ML Converter). There is one tv that I believe does not support this, however. I can't remember which one it is.

There is a setting on the Moment under "Speakers" to "Use TV Speakers." Selecting this will give a list of any BeoVisions/BeoSystems on the NL network from which to select. Running your finger along the wheel of the Moment will even control the volume of the TV when playing video sources -- not just the Moment's sources.

No the Moment does not integrate with Eclipse and Harmony anymore. A shame as you can only integrate it through Multiroom. I’ve setup my moment as stand alone device without speakers and can join it with my Eclipse and speakers. But I cannot adjust the sound level on the Moment, need to use the remote on the Eclipse.

In general I feel the Moment platform has died before it was working 100% as it should. The interface and experience is unparalleled but was poorly executed from start. The Halo should be a sort of substitute for it but is not due to very limited software and interface. I would opt for a Moment mk2 without a hartbeat but unfortunately it is not going to happen.

Cherish your Moment ad long as you can, with all its limitations, it is a true B&O experience!

I only hope there will be a fix for the gracenote / moodwheel issue. Let this be the Christmas miracle for 2020...

In my blissful ignorance, I do not even know what the problem is with the Moodwheel! Mine seems to work, or at least works to my satisfaction. It's great to be able to play a random selection of music according to my mood/environment.

Is there some widely reported problem with the function?
