MM, you were able to read my mind!

ALL wireless speakers should have a Line in socket, regardless of their price.  This makes even the simplest speaker able to link to any classic or vintage B&O system - like the Beolit 20 that is my kitchen speaker on my MCL link system.... 👍

Kind regards, Steve.

Please tell me there is some kind of strap or handle

You will be able to hang it onto a bag and FCC sketches show some kind of a handle in the back.

The specs posted by JosephJ mention a carabiner.

Looks good and has some resemblance of the Beomic BM5.

Hopefully it comes in natural aluminium, blue etc., too. :-)

But again it doesn't have Bluetooth APT-X support. Why don't they support it?

Sometimes the initial listed specs are wrong or incomplete - so there still might be hope for a line-in connection :-)))

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

I’m not sure how to interpret this from the specs listed.

USB Inputs/Outputs - USB-C for charging and streaming

Yes, I thought that was pretty unclear too. Hopefully it’ll at least be a USB audio in - better than nothing. 

There weren’t any photos of the rear in the listing, so it’s possible the specs are incomplete and there is a line-in. Fingers crossed.
