For all the ladies looking to replace their non-girly earbuds, these cute little polka dot guys will be hitting the market at the beginning of July. These earphones from Elecom come in two different versions.
Apparently I’m on a shiny kick this morning, because I’ve managed to write up two different very shiny gadgets so far. This set of earbuds is looking overly girly already in the pretty pink and even has a Swarvoski crystal thrown in.
Sleek Audio, an audio equipment manufacturer who are so convinced by their SA6 in-ear monitor headphones that they don’t actually make anything else, have announced that they will be the next company to use Kleer’s wireless audio technology. Kleer’s system, ostensibly a rival to Bluetooth A2DP, is special because of its ability to carry CD-quality [...]
I’ve always associated zirconia with cheap jewellery from TV shopping channels, but Panasonic have seemingly chosen it for its ability to quell sound-distortion rather than its faux-glamour. Their RP-HJE900 earphones feature zirconia casings that have particularly low resonance level, unlike traditional plastic shells. They’re also much stronger than plastic, and resistant to scratches.
Audio-Technica Japan have unveiled their latest headphones, the ATH-EQ700, which pack retractable cables to avoid in-bag tangling. With an adjustable over-ear clip and positionable driver angles to suit different ear shapes, they have a frequency range of 14 - 24,000Hz and 22 ohms impedance. Of course the clever part is the cabling: the [...]
Headphones and audio accessories manufacturer DigiFi have been showing off their new Digital Opera wireless headphones, which couple an over-the-ear headset with an iPod adaptor. Using Kleer’s wireless audio technology, the system includes “point to multi-point” Listen In, which means up to four people can hear music from one transmitter dongle. Kleer uses a proprietary [...]
Anyone who has slept around or with someone who snores knows how hard it is to get to sleep with that obnoxious noise in the background. I stayed in a hotel once where the person in the next room snored so loudly that I could hear it through the walls. I feel truly [...]
So, I’ve had the Clari-Fi for almost two weeks, I know it’s only been a couple of days since I posted about it, but I wanted to get a feel for whether it was working or not before I said anything. Bottom line, it is working. It is also worth the extra dough.
So I wrote this article the other day regarding the Clari-Fi and suggested that it might be a waste of money. Well, the company contacted me and promptly shipped me a unit for review; I am pleased to say that it is not a total waste of money as previously suggested.
I don’t know, there might be a pair that is slathered in diamonds and platinum or something like that which beat these out, but I doubt it. At $600 these wireless headphones do not come cheap, but if you are an audiophile in search of some wireless headphones they are apparently worth it.
