I certainly don't think your popping on the party seethroughyou! Its good to have a healthy honest opinion about B&O. I always try to. I wonder, for my purpose of connecting to a BeoSound 2, do you think that would work ok or would I still encounter any of these issues people mention? Since I haven't ever purchased a Moment I've never really followed many threads about it, so I am still a newbie when it comes to this particular product. Cheers, Simon.

I have a Moment sitting on my desk in my home office, and another in the Dining room to service the other end of the house. I'd guess that I listen to them an average of 5 or 6 hours a day.

Often it's radio, and sometimes it's a specific song or album. But the MoodWheel is such an amazing feature. It's like a perfect radio station, playing exactly what I'm hoping to hear

Needless to say, the physical beauty of the Moment is also part of the love affair. I leave the tablet ("Jukebox") of the office Moment with the LCD up all the time, and never remove the jukebox because I only control it while sitting at my desk. But the dining room Moment spends a lot of time with the beautiful wood surface exposed, and it is really just such a thing of beauty in that configuration. The Moment is the last sound system B&O made with a physical interface, and they absolutely "hit it out of the park" to use an American term.

I don't really have any point to this post other than to say my BeoSound Moments bring my such immense joy and I wanted to tell the world. I know that some day my Moments will stop working; as a highly-digital product they will never have the lifespan of, for example, a Beogram 4002. But I will enjoy every moment I spend with my Beosound Moments as long as they continue working.

If anyone from B&O is reading this, I want to thank you for creating these incredible products. As a small business owner also in technology, I know that the rapid changes in both the underlying technology and global economics make it incredibly challenging for small businesses to thrive. Please keep up the good fight, and know that the beautiful things you have created are bringing joy into peoples' lives every day. Thank you for what you do.

They still have not fixed the stuttering that seems to happen when Moment is paired with a BeoVision.  It's disgraceful really.  If it were possible to have B&O products added to more than one B&O account we'd use the app instead.

I like the concept (and design) of the Beosound Moment as dedicated music audio system with a tablet and volume control on top. But unfortunately Bang&Olufsen totally screwed up turning a great concept into a working system.

I do not understand why B&O does not open the operating system / firmware of Beosound Moment for a second useful life?

The Beosound Moment Soundheart could be a nice Roon Lab endpoint and the Beosound Moment Jukebox a nice Roon Labs control tablet realized for example as a B&O independ Beocreate project. That should technically not too difficult to realize, as the jukebox uses Android and the Soundheart uses Linux derivate. And both operating systems are supported by Roon.

Additionally this would give B&O valuable feedback / insides if a Roon could be a serious option to integrate in future.

I have my MS Moment connected to a BV Horizon with external speakers. Works fine for me. Only issue is that I need to select the song twice before the tv/speakers turn on if I start it from Moment. No problem to select music, next song or adjust the volume when it is on.

Sometimes when I have selected TuneIn after I have watched TV the sound disappear after 90 seconds. If I change channel it comes back for another 90 seconds.
