The upcoming BeoSound 1 and BeoSound 2 from Bang & Olufsen both look 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 striking design aspects are both meant to amplify sound quality.

Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound speakers will do much more than just play music with some oomph. On display at IFA in Berlin, 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.
