Altec Lansing is on hand at CES 2016 and among the new items they are showing off in Las Vegas are the Super LifeJacket Wireless Bluetooth portable speaker and the Freedom wireless earbuds. The Super LifeJacket portable speaker is IP68 rated to survive underwater indefinitely without damage.
Altec Lansing has delivered finely tuned speakers for years, and they continue to improve at this year's CES with their 5000 series. They have two noticeably new all-in-one speaker systems available, and with identical form factors. However, they differ primarily in functionality rather than hardware. The first demonstrated was the InAir 5000 Wireless AirPlay speaker.
High-end audio maker ACS Custom's partnered up with Etymotic before to create earphones, but this time, they're taking up Altec Lansing's offer to team up to build something new in the audio space, in the form of a trio of "Custom Series" in-ear-monitors. An eye-raising partnership, to say the least, since Altec Lansing has generally been consumer-facing, and ACS, not at all. Nevertheless, according to Altec Lansing, these will be hand-crafted, armature-driver based in-ear-monitors that will aim to slake the high-fidelity thirst of audio enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Of the many technologies and gadgets that have become obsolete over the years, the form factor of the iconic boombox remains. In fact, Altec Lansing has a lineup of digital boomboxes that are iPod and iPhone speaker docks in disguise and they have just begun shipping out their latest addition---the MIX iMT810 that's now compatible with the iPhone 4.
Altec Lansing has been making audio gear for a long time and the company has rolled out new earphones that it is aiming at the audiophile looking for high quality sound. The earphones are the Muzx Ultra MZX606. The earphones are engineered for looks, comfort and performance.
Altec Lansing were out last night to preview their latest iPod speaker dock, the Octiv Duo, and it's designed for those households with more than one iPod or iPhone to rejuice. The horn-shaped dock can not only recharge both devices simultaneously, but also shuffle tunes stored on each (using the free Music Mix app) to put an end to "no, my playlist next" arguments.
Every time we look around there are one or two new iPhone and iPod docks being tossed onto the market. Some folks want a big dock with lots of power and features and others want a compact dock that takes up little space. The folks liking compact docks may be interested in the new Altec Lansing Octiv Mini Multifunction Audio Dock.
It's hard to imagine the sort of arguments Altec Lansing's MIX Boombox iPod speaker system might inspire, hooked up to so many different PMPs as their eye-catching press shots suggest. The chunky boombox not only has a universal dock for your iPod, iPhone or iPod touch, but dual aux-in ports, a digital FM radio and a side-mounted 5.25-inch subwoofer.
If you've been waiting around for a good pair of in-ear headphones to drop, then you might just be in luck with the latest from Altec Lansing. The Backbeat Pro earphones are now shipping and they look pretty slick, to boot.
Altec Lansing have announced new speakers in its Value Series, promising that low price doesn't have to equal low quality sound. The VS2620, shown here, and the BXR1220, after the cut, both come in at under $30 each, but still offer such niceties as secondary inputs, USB connectivity and optional subwoofers.
The HP Pavilion dv3t has gone on sale, the company's lightest-weight Intel-based Pavilion notebook, boasting a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display, Core 2 Duo processors from the 2.0GHz T6400 upward, and up to 7hrs runtime from the optional 9-cell battery. The Pavilion dv3t weighs 4.93lb and has optional 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105 graphics.
This set of high tech speakers could be easily mistaken as oversize salt shaker and sugar dispenser, but the Altec Lansing FX3022 Expressionist Bass is no kitchenware; it’s a full range desktop speakers with powerful long-throw subwoofers, designed to complement contemporary computer and monitor styles.
