Bang & Olufsen Turns Up the Beat with BeoSound 8

The BeoSound 8

Bang & Olufsen has gotten pretty serious about the business of docking. With BeoSound 8, their sleek and powerful speaker dock, the Danish audio/video solutions company is giving music fans something new to groove to.

It’s compatible with all sorts of systems including the iPod, iPhone, iPad, MAC or even a regular PC. Just connect either of them to the BeoSound 8 by simply docking or via the AUX line-in or USB ports. The digital music dock also comes with a remote control that enables you to control it easily.

What to Expect: A light and flexible speaker dock that’s available in black and white. Colored speaker fronts are also available in case you want to customise it to the colour of a room in your home (black, white, yellow, green, purple or lavender blue).

The speakers are cone shaped, which give them a 2D appearance and hide the actual depth of the speakers. They are outlined by Bang & Olufsen’s trademark aluminum rings. The speaker dock comes with a 5” woofer and 3/4th” tweeter.

Look out for: The manual room adaptation switch with three positions that allows the BeoSound 8 speaker dock to be placed anywhere without modifying the sound quality.

Available at Bang & Olufsen showrooms in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore, price: Rs 65,000.
