Portable Audio Amps

The B&O Play Automotive is a Clever Investment in Versatility

Designer Marc Tran had the brilliant idea of conceiving a sound system that could be used in a variety of different environments. His B&O Play Automotive was developed while doing an internship in Bang & Olufsen's automotive division in Denmark, but this impressive piece of equipment is also incredibly useful outside of the car.

The concept comprises a primary hub with an amplifier and a pair of deep holes. Two small cylindrical speakers can be inserted into the openings to make the device portable; it even incorporates a carrying strap. The product is compatible with computers, smartphones, tablets and headphones and can effectively bust out beats in your vehicle. The B&O Play Automotive components can be nestled into the storage compartments or fastened to the dashboard to improve your journey with music.
