BeoLab 11 Bass Unit Looks Produced by Robotic Ostriches

Bang & Olufsen has a farm of robotic ostriches in Denmark’s platitudes, between Copenhagen and Billund. They feed them metal scrap and components, which they poop out in the form of these sleek bass units, the BeoLab 11. True story. Beauty and The Bass BeoLab 11 is a new elegant subwoofer from Bang & Olufsen…

Asus NX90 Polished Aluminum All-in-One Laptop

A strange amalgamation of notebook and all-in-one, we’re not exactly certain what we should call the NX90, other than a polished aluminum beast. The NX90 apparently has two trackpads (one on the right of the keyboard, one built right in to the handrest), the self-proclaimed first polished aluminum finish and even an integrated surround sound…

Bang & Olufsen BeoCom 5 Home Phone Also Does VoIP

Though many of us ditched landlines long ago, B&O still pushes out cordless phones for those who can afford its designer wares. The BeoCom 5 handles two-landlines plus PC-based VoIP calls, and its portable speaker can double as a charger. When “docked” on the speaker (or its second, smaller charger), the phone is held in…

BeoVision 10 Would Be Perfect for My Bachelor Pad

I just got my new apartment. A studio. Veehee cute, but small. That’s why the BeoVision 10 has my name all over it. I mean, if my name was Bang & Olufsen. Or if I had a spare $8,700. The thing I like most about the BeoVision 10 is not the 40-inch LCD panel or…

Bang & Olufsen BeoTime Alarm Clock Caters to Flute Enthusiasts, the Rich

When Bang and Olufsen tackles a new type of device, they do it in a very specific way: oddly, stylishly, and with reckless disregard for cost. Exhibit F: The $375 BeoTime, a flute-like, accelerometer-equipped wireless alarm clock. Tied to the broader range of Beo home theater product, the BeoTime is a bit minimalist, even by…

Bang & Olufsen’s 4-103 BeoVision Plasma Is Huge and Self Calibrating

At over $135,000, Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision 103-inch plasma set costs nearly triple Panasonic’s 103-inch baby or just as much as the 150-inch plasma champion of the world. Why? https://gizmodo.com/panasonic-updates-103-inch-plasma-drops-price-by-one-c-5041874 Besides the fact it’s from the B&O, when you turn the monster on, it comes alive, the stand elevating itself to your viewing level as…

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 5 is a Reasonable Media Controller (For Your Megayacht)

When Bang & Olufsen, maker of very expensive things that use electricity, let slip a photo of their upcoming BeoSound 5 home media controller, I saw a lot of potential. The interface looked nice, the hardware classy, and the screen crisp — in other words, if this thing connected with network music shares and played…

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 5 Home Media Controller Spotted, Blurrily

Bang & Olufsen, maker of very expensive things that use electricity, looks like they might be onto something with their BeoSound 5. With album art and a relatively complex menu displayed on the screen, it would appear that the BeoSound 5 will be a pretty comprehensive (and of course, stylish) control interface for your home…

Samsung and B&O Join Forces for the Dual-Slider F400

Behold the latest offering from Samsung and B&O: the 3G, dual-slider F400. Slide the front upwards and you get your keypad, slide it down and your B&O speakers heave into view. As well as the 2.2-inch QVGA display, there’s an RDS-enabled FM radio and MicroSD card slot. Price is expected to be around the 380€…

Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision HDTV Self-Calibrates With Its Robotic Appendage

Tuning your television is something only videophiles and Gizmodo readers do (seriously, normal people don’t care enough to spend a few hours on this), but Bang & Olufsen’s BeoVision 4 might change that practice. The 1080p TV has a built-in robotic arm with a camera on the end that swings down in front of the…

Bang & Olufsen Beosound 6 player is now shipping; blow $600 on a purdy 4GB DAP if you want, just leave us out of it. [InfoSync]

Bang & Olufsen C-Cap, Smells Like Insulin

Bang & Olufsen doesn’t just make high-end *cough overpriced cough* audio equipment, they also design medical gadgets. Their C-Cap is meant to improve medication adherence by reminding diabetics and other patients requiring injected medication when to take the next dose, while housing the medication for convenience. For instance, when it’s time for a diabetic to…

Bang & Olufsen Serenata Hands-On Video

Zara over at Shiny Shiny got her hands on the Bang & Olufsen/Samsung Serenata phone, which isn’t just a phone, it’s a "personal music system." Even after watching the video it’s unclear how the music UI capabilities outclass say, the iPhone, but the external speakers seem like they sound pretty great—it even has bass. Not…

Samsung, Bang & Olufsen Announce Serenata Music Phone

Bang & Olufsen and Samsung made their new Serenata music phone official today, as promised, sporting the distinctive look and sure-to-be ludicrous pricing that B&O is known for. Loaded with 4GB of flash memory, the Serenata has a built-in speaker that’s designed to pump out your jams with no headphones necessary. I’d say don’t use…

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 6 is iTunes Compatible

We covered the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 6 back in July, but this overpriced player does have one thing that possibly makes the $700 worthwhile. It’s a plug-in that allows the BeoPlayer 6 to work with iTunes, something that, well, iPod nanos (which are 1/5 the price and 2x the memory) can do already. But…

Samsung’s Bang & Olufsen Phone Coming in 17 Days

Samsung and Bang & Olufssen have just thrown up a teaser site for their Serenata phone, which comes at us in just 17 days. What the phone has internally or even what it looks like is still a mystery on the site, but putting two and two together from earlier leaks you get a phone…

Bang & Olufsen DVD 2 Has TV Tuner, DVD Recorder

Bang & Olufsen’s latest sex-tastic DVD player doesn’t just play back DVDs, there’s an analog TV tuner, HDMI output, Guide Plus+, a 250GB hard drive and the ability to burn shows to DVD as well. This may not have TiVo-level functionality, but it’s infinitely better looking. And when’s the last time anyone besides that redhead…

B&O BeoVision 7 Fully Satisfies the Snob in You

Yes, they did it again. Danish pals, clown number and technology re-packers Bang & Olufsen want to sell you another Samsung LCD panel in a nice box: the BeoVision 7. Nothing wrong with that. Their 40-inch TV with integrated DVD and central speaker certainly looks amazing, but when Kim Gravesen, B&O Chief here, says she’s…

Samsung WEP 420 Bluetooth Headset is B&O-Designed, Looks Square

Just testing. I know it’s oblong, but it’s Monday morning and I want to see if you’ve all recovered from St. Patrick’s Day. Anyway, enough about my weekend, here’s the week’s first gizmo. Samsung has teamed up with Danish designmeisters Bang & Olufsen to create their new Bluetooth headset, the WEP 420. And it looks…

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 9: $10K For a Set of Speakers?

Surely I’m not the only one who would balk at paying nearly $10,000 for speakers, no matter how high-end they are. Yet, Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab 9 speakers do just that (well, $9,900) and all they have to show for it is “acoustic lens technology” and “adaptive bass linerisation,” which is supposed to reduce two…
