This week, Denmark’s Bang & Olufsen shared a trio of minimalist home electronics: a pair of conic wireless speakers, BeoSound 1 and BeoSound 2, and a Torsten Valeur–designed television, BeoVision Horizon. The new additions belong to the BeoLink Multiroom family, which unites household Bang & Olufsen products into a wireless music system. 

Designed for portability, the aluminum BeoSound 1 wireless speaker has a battery-powered option.

With a similar aluminum casework to BeoSound 1, BeoSound 2 is distinguished by a vertical grille. Slightly larger and more powerful than its counterpart, it requires a permanent power connection.
