Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 7 Stretches to 55 Inches

Demnark’s Bang & Olufsen has updated their BeoVision 7 high-end LCD television for North American consumers just in time for the end-of-year-holidays…at least for those North American consumers to whom money is no object. Previously available in a 40-inch size, the BeoVision 7 is not available with a 55-inch screen size, and rolls in a Blu-ray player and B&O’s exclusive BeoSystem 4 video engine, which the company promises offers superior video processing and image quality compared to other similarly-sized displays. Plus, the company offers two motorized floor stand options—one low and one tall—so customers can control the angle of their TVs with the touch of a button.

“BeoVision 7-55 is the cornerstone in the intelligent home as it is a fantastic hub for combining audio and video experiences with other home automation systems,” says Bang & Olufsen America president Zean Nielsen, in a statement. “For many customers, home automation is becoming more and more interesting, and due to increasingly sophisticated interfaces, Bang & Olufsen customers can actually control and operate all their A/V and home automation equipment from the programmable Beo5 remote control all over the house.”

The BeoVision 7-55 features LED backlighting with local dimming for enhanced contrast, a 120 Hz refresh rate, an integrated Blu-ray disc player and “amazing” sound performance with an included separate center speaker—it can also be combined with BeoLab 7-6 and BeoLab 7-4 speakers for a customized audio setup.

However, the BeoVision 7-55 does not come cheap: suggested prices start at $18,700, although that includes a floor stand and central speaker, and the units will be available in dark grey, red, blue, and black, and aluminum finishes sometime this month.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX

Bang & Olufsen (B&O) has taken the wraps off its latest high-end wireless headphones, the $499 Beoplay HX, which go on sale today in its black anthracite color scheme. Two other colors, sand and timber, will be made available later this year.

The Beoplay HX is the latest in the company's line of luxury wireless headphones. It follows the $499 Beoplay H9 and the more recent $800 Beoplay H95. The HX's key feature is an improved form of active noise cancellation (ANC), which B&O calls its "next generation of Digital Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation." The HX is equipped with four microphones for ANC, two of which are shared for voice calls.

Bang and Olufsen’s Beolit 20 sticks a wireless charger into a wireless speaker
bang and olufsen beolit 20 bluetooth speaker with wireless charger 2

Portable Bluetooth speakers are the ultimate in convenience when you want sound on-the-go, and Bang and Olufsen's (B&O) $500 Beolit 20 makes that experience even more convenient, thanks to a flat top surface that has a built-in Qi wireless charger.

Available starting today at select retailers and the B&O website, the Beolit 20 is the latest iteration of the company's portable Bluetooth speaker. Outwardly, it looks identical to the previous version, the Beolit 17, right down to its boxy shape and rounded bottom corners -- plus leather carry strap -- which make for a vaguely retro-inspired look, evoking vintage portable radios like this Dynatron TP11 "Nomad" from the 60s.
