While many products at CES will not see retail availability until late in 2017, the Beoplay M5 is available right ow in Australia and New Zealand.

Priced at $899 (AU – $975 NZ), it’s anything but cheap, in fact, that’s going to be hard to justify right?

But the sound will be what gets you over the line – this omnidirectional speaker packs a solid bass so you’ll feel and hear the music just as you wish.

Ideally for lovers of streaming music, the Beoplay M5 has Chromecast built-in, so you can open apps like Spotify, Pandora or Google Play Music and with the press of a button send the audio to the M5.
