hörbert is a portable music and audio player made from sustainable wood, which is easy to use at the touch of a button and fairly produced in Germany.
The colorful playlist buttons on the front allow the audio content to be controlled intuitively – completely without a display or the need to read. This makes hörbert suitable both for toddlers from around two years of age and for people who have difficulty with complex technology.
Out of the box, hörbert plays music and stories from a reusable SD card. Several tracks, audio plays, or audiobooks can be stored on each button; each press of a button skips to the next title in the respective playlist.
In addition, hörbert has many advanced functions that can be activated via a web interface, the Browser Set Mode. Among other things, it can be used as a Bluetooth speaker, podcast player, or web radio player. Thanks to the recording functions for voice, Bluetooth, and internet radio streams, there are no follow-up costs for new audio content. With the sleep function, hörbert gently accompanies users as they fall asleep. hörbert comes with a preloaded memory card, which can be supplemented with your own audio content at any time.

It begins with a raw piece of wood. With a natural grain that you can see and feel.
Over time, it becomes a case with weight, texture, and scent – an object that becomes part of the home, not just another device.
The frame and carrying handle of the robust housing are made of beech. The front is made of poplar plywood. The back panel is made of birch plywood.
hörbert is made in Germany – with attention to detail and calm craftsmanship. From materials that are durable and meaningful.
An object you enjoy picking up. And one that stays with you for many years.
