Sony have officially whipped the wraps off of their latest two Walkman PMP models, the stereo-speaker-packing S-Series that you can see here, and the entry-level E-Series shown after the cut. The S-Series – first spotted earlier this month – has a 2.4-inch QVGA LCD display supporting 30fps video playback, together with offering up to 17hrs of audio playback via the speakers.
Do you remember a time when the only headphones anyone could get, were the big ones that covered our ears? We know, we know, that seems like ancient history, but apparently there must be some kind of market for those things somewhere, because iHome has just released another pair of bright red, over-the-ears kind. Take a gander, if you want to feel like you’re part of history or something.
Sony announced today a joint-venture with mega-retailer Best Buy, showcasing a new line of streaming audio products, affectionately called “Altus.” There’s four products being released out of the gate, and Best Buy is getting the first crack at them. Of course, this makes sense considering Best Buy lended a helping hand in their development. There’s quite a bit to go on, so we’ll just get right down to it.
Logitech announced two upcoming iPod docks today, adding to their arsenal of home and portable speakers for the venerable Personal Music Player. The first is the Rechargeable Speaker S315i, a home speaker system designed for long-lasting listening power. The other is the Portable Speaker S125i, which is designed to give you your music whereever you might need it.
iHome announced that they are beginning to ship the iP1 today, an iPhone and iPod dock with built-in speaker system that offers something for those looking for a higher-end option than the standard dock.
Onkyo have announced a pair of new 7.1-channel home theater systems, offering a relatively straightforward way to add surround sound – including Dolby ProLogic IIz – and 1080p HD switching to a media setup. The Onkyo HT-S7200 (shown here) and HT-S6200 have five and four HDMI 1.3a inputs, respectively, as well as the company’s U-Port iPod charging/dock connector, and offer 130W per channel.
Who doesn’t like to have a little bit of fun with their electronics purchases. I know I do. That’s what makes The Big Bang Speaker pretty cool. Crafted in the shape of one of those cartoon bombs, it’s sure to be an attention-getter.
Lifestyle audio firm Bose have announced a wireless music system, the SoundLink, which promises to free your audio from its PC or Mac prison. The setup consists of a battery-powered speaker, complete with remote control, and a USB transmitter dongle that plugs into your computer.
Logitech have unveiled a new range of desktop speakers, offering what it claims is “360-degree sound”. Half of the new systems on offer consist of a stereo pair, while the remainder are 2.1 setups with separate subwoofers; the former includes the Logitech Speaker System Z520, shown here, with 26W of power, and the Speaker System Z320, which have 10W.
