Bang & Olufsen never fails to delight when it comes to design, often turning ordinary technology into something extraordinary. Consider the new Beosound Explore. This portable can-shaped wireless speaker is the first we’ve seen to feature a colourful, scratch resistant type II anodised aluminium case, ideal for outdoor adventures.
Created at Bang & Olufsen’s Factory 5 in Struer, Denmark, this anodisation effect is achieved by building up the aluminium oxide on the surface.
Reflecting its rugged lightweight form factor, the Bluetooth 5.2 speaker is IP67 dust and waterproof resistant, and small enough to pop into a pocket, bag or backpack.
It sports a USB-C port for charging.
Two Explore speakers can be paired to create a stereo speaker system.
Available in black anthracite, soft grey mist, or a deep racing green hue, its colourways apparently take inspiration from the forests, glaciers and fjords of Scandinavian landscapes.
