BeoSound 3 – The High-Price of Quality Sound

Here’s a nifty little gadget for the someone in your life who has everything. It’s the BeoSound 3, an $850 portable boombox that goes where you go.

It’s an anodized aluminum tower with a convenient carry handle. It houses a digital clock with alarm and sleep timer, FM radio with ample presets, and plays digital media via an SD card that slides in at the bottom. The front grille hides a full-range loudspeaker to make parties and dinner dates more interesting, and conveniently runs on a 10 hour rechargeable battery.

This little wonder plays MP3 and WMA files and has a convenient headphone jack for private listening when necessary. Its touch controls and flush-mount flywheel on the top panel, along with a retractable antenna, help the BeoSound 3 keep a low profile as a slick audio component with good looks and great sound for the elite listeners out there with money to burn.
