We got a chance to check out Bang & Olufsen's BeoLit 12 wireless speaker system at CES 2012 — it's a fairly compact device with an aluminum body, two 2-inch tweeters and a 4-inch subwoofer with 120 watts of audio power, a rechargeable battery with 8 hours of play time, and AirPlay support. For a diminutive system, it sounds loud and crisp, but that's what you'd hope to expect from a $799 device. The BeoLit 12 will come in yellow, blue, and light grey varieties, and should arrive in stores sometime this Spring.
