Wow. This thing is tiny. The Cube Speaker is made by Landport, a Japanese company, and apparently the tiny audio output device can fit within the palm of your hand. So for those that want audio on the go, but want to limit the bulk by as much as possible, this may very well be the way to go.
High-end audio specialists LINN have announced the MAJIK DS, a digital media player that integrates with the company’s DS range and offers streaming of WAV, FLAC, MP3, AIFF and ALAC audio across a standard wired ethernet. UPnP compatible, the MAJIK can play content from networked computers or NAS media servers.
If you’re a big audiophile and are in the market for a netbook, we might just have something for you that fits the bill. The Indamixx Laptop offers up a ton of pre-installed audio software on a Linux-based OS and the entire system falls under $500.
The Indamixx Laptop, from Trinity Audio Group, was announced today and is the perfect choice for DJ’s, producers and remixers. It uses an Intel Atom processor and makes it easy to create and broadcast your music on the web.
A unique OS called Transmission and software bundle comes pre-installed, including XT2 and Ardour, to make music production a snap. This netbook is built around music and only music, so the price tag of $499 is really pretty extraordinary. You can pre-order one now with a down payment of $99. All orders made by December 15 will arrive in time for Christmas.
If you’re a true audiophile, these headphones might not be for you. But if you just want something to enjoy your music while on the go and want to reflect a bit of your personal style in the process, check out these customizable headphones from iFrogz.
The Earpollution line of headphones allow you to create your own custom items. You can choose from different headbands, cushions and outer earpieces to make a pair of headphones that best suit your personality. With your choice of two head phone models, NervePipes and Fallout, and one earbud model, The Hype, you can create a style that fits you.
The headphone models feature 30Hz to 20KHz frequency response, 40mm drivers and 1.2 meter cords. The Hype earbuds allow you to customize the rim and base parts of the buds. You can buy all three models now and truly make them your own for $35 for the headphones and $20 for the earbuds.
If you are a serious audiophile, then you’re going to love to hear the news that the Sooloos Ensemble System has just gotten a price cut, making it cheaper (though no one would dare to say inexpensive) way to dive into their playback and digital music storage systems.
While you might have never heard of Atomic Floyd before, they are definitely doing a good job at becoming memorable in the overcrowded headphone industry. Take these AirJax headphones, for example. They’re made from unique materials and sport a seriously stylish look.
ZAGG is pretty well known for their accessories and these new Z.buds earphones just add to that fact, adding one more category to the company’s product range. Interestingly enough, the Z.buds have already received the status of 2009 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase Honoree.
Ultrasone announced their HFI-15G headphones today, which are super portable and actually the smallest headphones in the Ultrasone HFI line thus far. But don’t mistake a small form factor for a lack of features.
eMusic has been around since 2003 and they have just surpassed the 250 million downloads mark today, showing that there are other music providers out there besides iTunes that have made a significant impact.
eMusic is an online subscription-based music store. It offers up MP3s that are unprotected and will work with both Apple and Microsoft players. The difference from other services here is that they use a subscription model. This means you are guaranteed a given number of songs per month at a particular rate. This actually works out to be cheaper than the $.99/song over at iTunes.
Independent labels are represented more than major ones and their catalog is small with just 4.5 million song offerings. Good for eMusic for hitting this milestone!
