    Beosound for the 21th century: The miuro robot

    Reply Contact

    Hi,

    check this out:

    www.miuro.com 

     

    This is a robot and music system combined in one. As read on some reviews the sound seems to be very impressive (it's a 2 way stereo system) because ZMP (the company that developed the miuro-robot) worked together with Kenwood for the speaker and audiopart design.

    You can dock in any ipod (starting from 3rd Generation to ipod mini, nano etc.) or another audio-player (audio in) for music or just connect it to internet radio (without PC!) or connect it to your Mac or PC.

    It has the B & O price range, too: 1000 Euros and available in white, black or yellow.

    I will have a hard conversation with my (future) wife where the money went and what this "thing" is ;-)

    No offense, but you really have to be kidding!!  This is just another tacky toy with flashing lights. It has no design appeal, no dignity, and there's no way it could sound good-- plastic encased, tiny speakers playing compressed files and running on batteries...  Its only use would be to titillate tech-heads for a month or so, then it will be thrown in the closet like a child's Christmas toy.

    Please tell me you're joking! Unsure

    (And get your wife some BeoLab 8000s! Smile) 

    ...my two cents ~AJ

    I'm quite happy with my BeoSystem, and I know it can't fall down the stairs by it's own accord or run away when I just want to listen to some music!

    Seriously though, that is not a hifi system, it's a musical furby.

    Sorry, but she is absolutely right! As Aj said: use the 1000Euro to buy some proper audio stuff and not such a plastic gimmick!

    For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen..
