Bang & Olufsen 2011 holiday collection announced

A surefire way of kicking the economy in the butt would be to spend money – lots of it, and you certainly can’t go wrong if you decide to bring home a little bit of Bang & Olufsen into your living room. In fact, the company wants to seduce you this holiday season with a bunch of devices and products that is sure to set your pulse racing and wallet burning. First of all, there is the BeoSound 8 which is essentially an iPod, iPad, and iPhone docking station for folks who are inseparable from their iDevices, relying on them mainly for their music fix. The BeoSound 8 will sport interchangeable speaker fronts and cost you $999.

Up next would be the EarSet 3i, where this Apple compatible hands-free solution merges both style with functionality by delivering crystal clear sound performance and total design comfort. Capable of filtering background noise, the integrated button allows you to switch seamlessly from iTunes playlists to a conversation without having to glance at your phone, let alone take it out from your pocket – all for $199.

Another noteworthy candidate would be the BeoSound 5 Encore, a plug-and-play digital music system that allows you to index and access your digital music collection from any USB, wireless handheld device, hard drive or computer. Not only that, it helps you enjoy up to 13,000 internet radio stations when you’ve run out of MP3s to listen to, and is smart enough to generate its own playlist by analyzing your listening pattern. It will be priced in true Bang & Olufsen fashion at $3,350 though. Which one suits your fancy this holiday season? [Press Release]
