The upcoming BeoSound 1 and BeoSound 2 from Bang & Olufsen both look super futuristic. The long cylindrical bodies rest on smaller bases just above your table, so from a certain angle, it looks like the speakers are hovering. The top similarly juts out from the rest of the body. These are striking design aspects -- and both are meant to amplify sound quality.

Announced Thursday, Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound speakers will do much more than just play music with some oomph. Both have Google Assistant built-in, so they'll offer the same wide breadth of features as the Google Home. You'll be able to command your smart home, check your calendar, search the web, listen to a podcast and more with a simple voice command. The BeoSound speakers both have four programmable shortcut buttons on top as well, so you can tap to trigger your favorite podcast or smart home routine.
