OnePlus One is the best smartphone you can’t buy . Ok, that’s not necessarily true, it’s just really, really hard. It all comes down to invites, which the company gives out during occasional raffles or online contests, that allow lucky winners to then buy the phone.

Samsung has rolled out its fair share of consumer electronics devices to date, ranging from home appliances to smartphones and wearable technology. This time around, it would be a particular device that is slightly off the beaten track, so to speak, as it comes in the form of Samsung’s HW-H7500/H7501. The Samsung HW-H7500/H7501 happens to be the world’s first TV-matching curved soundbar, where it will be released at IFA 2014 in Berlin, Germany, next week.
Taking into consideration that this is the first TV-matching curved soundbar in the world that was specially designed to play nice with Samsung’s very own collection of curved TVs, your ears will definitely be more than happy to enjoy the powerful sound options that are on the table.
Those who are interested in picking up one of these puppies will be able to do so as a stand or mounted type for wall-mounted TV with the 55” and 65” Samsung Curved UHD TVs, and it will definitely go some way in complementing the aesthetic design of the TV. The Curved Soundbar is also said to be perfect for wall-mounting, since one will be able to install it in a jiffy under the TV which functions as a replacement TV stand, all without having to drill different kinds of holes into the wall.
The Curved Soundbar will boast of a slim width of 42mm as well as a curvature radius of 4,200 mm, which is the similar kind of curvature that can be found on the Samsung Curved UHD TVs, where it delivers a greater sense of curve by surrounding the viewer and providing an extremely powerful listening experience. The Curved Soundbar would be a natural evolution of premium design, where it has been specially crafted with a finely brushed aluminum finish which will highlight Samsung’s unique premium identity as it perfectly matches Samsung’s 55″ and 65″ Curved TVs.
There is also 8.1 channel support, where a couple of speaker units have been added on the both of sides so that it can deliver sound from three directions, resulting in more spatial and overwhelming surround sound. Samsung’s proprietary technology will also offer a more detailed sound, complete with amped up mid and low-range capabilities for improved fidelity and minimized sound distortion. Such features can be easily controlled via Samsung TV remote controls as one connects the Soundbar to the Samsung TV wirelessly via “TV SoundConnect.” I suppose pricing and local availability details will be revealed at IFA 2014.

The internet is slowly being swallowed whole by an endless influx of drone videos, but sometimes they give stunning views of locations we’d never see otherwise. This time, one YouTuber strapped a GoPro Hero 3+ to a DJI Phantom 2 drone and took a peek at Apple’s upcoming “Spaceship” campus.
When it comes to the world of speakers, there are so many different kinds of models to choose from, and for the uninitiated, it can get pretty difficult to find out just which particular model to pick up. Braven is another name that has its fair share of speaker models for the masses, and this time around, there is the Braven 705 speakers that delivers an outstanding combination of High Definition audio, striking design, and colorful personality.
You will be able to pick it up in eight lively colors, where the Braven 705 delviers more than just stunning looks. The Braven 705 is capable of offering amazing sound for more than 12 hours on a single battery charge, while sporting a modern style and vivid colors that are able to fit just about every occasion, all the while doubling up as a portable battery which will be able to juice up your smartphone and other USB devices. In addition, this is also a true multi-purpose speaker, and since it comes across as a clutch-sized device, it will be able to fill up the room with loud and clear sound, all the while showcasing a unibody design with clean lines and sleek curves.
Not only that, to showcase rough and tumble capabilities, the Braven 705 speakers happen to be weatherproof and water resistant, where it will arrive with an IPX5 rating which is capable of surviving accidental splashes, drops, and bumps. Not only that, it also comes with an array of features, where it will include an integrated noise-canceling microphone that will be able to make and take calls wirelessly, while Braven’s TrueWireless Technology would enable it to pair up with any of two 7-series Braven speakers for left and right channel stereo sound. Those who are interested will be able to choose from bright cyan, magenta, yellow, purple, teal, bold black, grey, and white color options for $99.99 a pop.
