Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound 5 Encore is now available in white

Add some sex appeal to your music collection with this wire-free wonder

Mark Wilson

Bang & Olufsen isn’t a name associated with budget products and the BeoSound 5 Encore music controller is no exception at £2900. It sounds like a lot but that’s a £600 saving on the original BeoSound 5 and this 10.4in LCD version gives you more.

We don’t just mean that it’s now available in white. The BeoSound 5 Encore lets you play music using all sorts of cutting-edge methods including USB, NAS, Bluetooth and internet radio.

All this and your home will look like a set for I, Robot – albeit with fewer murderous droids, and better accessed music.

About

Mark's first review for Stuff was the Nokia N-Gage in 2004. Luckily, his career lasted a little longer than the taco phone, and he's been trying to figure out how gadgets fit back into their boxes ever since. While his 'Extreme Mark Wilson' persona was retired following a Microsoft skydiving incident, this means he can often be spotted in the wilds of South West London testing action cams, drones and smartwatches, and occasionally cursing at them.
