Braun has recently unveiled its new LE Speaker range. The new speakers will also be the first system, released by the company since it stopped producing audio equipment 28 years ago. Braun's new LE Speaker range is scheduled to be available to customers beginning in October. The speakers are also reported to have a price point between $379-$1,99.
The new speakers will be available in three different sizes, and either a black or white design. The sound system will build upon previous designs from the company and will be equipped with balanced mode radiators, as well as custom woofers, and HD audio integrated amplifiers.
All of the different models will be integrated with major voice assistants, including Airplay 2 and Google Assistant. However, privacy buttons will be included in the system, allowing users to disable the microphones.
