If Sony’s Rolly portable speaker system is a little too unusual (and rich) for your tastes, then Logitech’s far more traditional Pure-Fi Mobile Bluetooth speakers might be a reasonable alternative. Packing the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo audio, as well as a standard 3.5mm input jack, it will happily stream music from PMPs, cellphones or [...]
Sony’s Rolly dancing wireless speaker robot might be a relatively pointless frippery, but now it’s a pointless frippery you can officially buy in the US. The company has announced that the easter-egg-sized “Sound Entertainment Player” is now available in retail stores across the country, having been available exclusively in Japan for some time now. [...]
Guitar Hero has spawned a large number of mods, hacks and general tweakery, with gamers often looking to use proper instruments in place of the normal controllers. However this is the first time I’ve seen a Guitar Hero controller converted in the opposite direction; it now works as a MIDI guitar, compatible with any synth [...]
I’ve a weakness for odd, glitchy music makers, and Chimera’s BC16 Mini-Synth looks like a perfect example of the breed. The size of a CD (only thicker, obviously), the BC16 might look like a bedroom project but it’s actually being factory manufactured and finished by hand; the patch cables link up the VCO, LFO, Envelope, [...]
It’s not all that uncommon to see a CD that has music from or inspired by a particular movie. It is less common, however to see the same thing based on a video game. Then again most video games don’t have killer soundtracks. Of course that can’t be said about Grand Theft Auto IV, which [...]
I’m not sure why, but this Flexii Bluetooth cassette adapter really pleases me somehow. Designed to make streaming music through a car stereo straightforward even if your ride only has a tape deck, it uses the A2DP profile to take a stereo stream from your PMP or cellphone and squirt it out of the [...]
Creative has taken time out from licking its class-action wounds to stuff a few more gigabytes into their Shuffle-rival, the MuVo T200. The PMP, which previously had only been available with 2GB, will now come in a 4GB version. Unlike Apple’s entry-level MP3 player, the T200 has a compact 128 x 32 pixels [...]
Today is Tuesday, which means that you somehow made it through Monday. Once you’ve done that, you know you can make it through the rest of the week, because we all know that Monday is the worst day. Since you survived yesterday, you’ll be rewarded with three new tracks for Rock Band. Hit the jump [...]
Hyundai and Microsoft have signed a deal that will see the software giant provide music and navigation systems for cars from the South Korean company destined for North American by 2010. The first product from the partnership will be a voice-controlled system linking mobile devices to the car’s stereo, but that will be followed by [...]
Speakers implanted into pillows are nothing new, but fruit shaped and scented is a bit of a different twist. Taking a quick nap on an apple scented pillow while listening to your tunes just seems like overkill.
