Bowers & Wilkins announces the next member of the Formation line of wireless speakers-- the Flex, a cylindrical speaker reminiscent of the Apple HomePod customers can use either independently or as part of a wider Formation wireless system.
According to B&W the Flex pushes "the highest quality sound ever" from a standalone wireless speaker of the same size. It carries the same tweeter technology as the company's 600 series speakers, and leverages a wireless audio platform developed by Eva Automation, an obscure 2016 B&W acquisition. The technology allows it to support 24-bit/96kHz audio together with speaker synchronisation of around 1 microsecond, regardless of other products in use.
