Bang & Olufsen is adding something special to all of the company's wireless speakers this year. They're planning to add Google Cast.
At CES 2016, B&O Play announced a partnership with Google, which will put Google Cast on all of the company's in-market and future network speakers.
Having that audio perk will allow listeners to easily stream services like Spotify, Deezer, and TuneIn to those network speakers. Just tap the Cast button in your favorite app to have it start playing on your B&O Play network speakers of choice.
Right now, the BeoPlay A6 and the second-gen BeoPlay A9 speakers are compatible with Google Cast technology. All other B&O Play network speakers will receive a firmware update to get the goods.
B&O Play speakers also support Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth, so you have all sorts of wireless technologies (and musical selections) at your fingertips.
"Connecting your music seamlessly to your speaker has always been key to B&O Play. With Google Cast, you can enjoy music directly from the cloud instead of playing music from your device, which gives premium audio quality and ensures that incoming calls or texts are not disrupting the music," says Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, corporate VP of B&O Play. "We believe that freedom of choice in streaming technologies is increasingly important to consumers, so we are proud to bring Google Cast to our network speakers."
All B&O Play network speakers will have Google Cast built-in by the end of the first quarter in 2016.
