Hasta La Gadget!

The folks over at Sound World Solutions have come up with the second model in their technologically advanced Bluetooth Series of personal sound amplifiers, calling this particular device as the CS50. What makes the CS50 so much more special than all of the other sound amplifiers in its range in the market? For one, it will boast of an Apple iOS 7-compatible customizer app so that users are able to adjust sound performance from an iPhone itself, now how about that for added convenience?

The CS50 has been specially designed for consumers who require the occasional help hearing, and yet do not want to rely on a hearing aid. Apart from that, it will also function as a high-quality Bluetooth headset for mobile phones, being able to operate up to 15 hours on its rechargeable battery. There is also the ability to stream a variety of audio sources including music, audio books and podcasts if you so desire. The CS50 is said to be able to feature improved directionality for listening assistance in noisy environments, and among these places would include restaurants where conversations are more often than not boisterous.

Right out of the box, users are able to adjust the volume level as well as access settings which were specially designed for specific environments. They are also able to toggle between three preset amplification profiles. The CS50 itself will pave the way for greater personalization thanks to a free app for Apple iOS 7, Android, Windows or Mac OS X platforms. This particular app would be able to usher users through a short personalization program so that one creates a customized sound profile. Apart from that, the app also boasts of an equalizer that enables users to adjust treble, mid-range and bass frequencies to further personalize their sound. The CS50 will retail for $349.99 a pop, where it comes in right- or left-ear versions.

Just when you thought that the design for wireless Bluetooth speakers could not get any more generic, here we are with an offering from the folks over at 420 Audio – with their spanking new High-Fi Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. Just in case you were wondering, 4/20 happens to be the holiday that cannabis enthusiasts have been waiting to celebrate across the country on April 20th. This would mean the unique design of the High-Fi speaker flows with the celebration, where the form factor itself expresses your affinity for the green goodness.

The High-Fi Wireless Bluetooth Speaker will hook up to compatible smartphones as well as tablets using Bluetooth connectivity, and the best part of it? It will be legal in all 50 states, so there is no need to worry about having the authorities in place bashing down your door because you happen to be in possession of illegal substances.

The High-Fi Wireless Bluetooth Speaker will be able to transform any moment into a high time, letting you kick back and connect with those around you. The speaker itself will be tiny in size, small enough to pack away in your stash box, letting you pull it out in double quick time so that you can add your favorite jams to any smoke session. Not only that, it also has fun operating sounds for you to discover, and depending on what other substances you’ve been taking, you might be in for long hours of laughter.

For instance, when you start to pair the speaker to your phone, it will cough, and when it’s successfully connected to the speaker, it giggles. Other sound effects will include a bong rip when you power up, and an “I’m Hungry” cry when you power down.

As for its pricing details, it will cost $39.99 a pop as at press time, but we do know that the USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery within would let you enjoy your music for up to half a dozen hours before it requires a trip to the nearest power outlet.

Not all headphones are created equal, and you can tell by referring to Accidentally Extraordinary, the headphone startup that is the main driving force behind the highly-rated 51st Studios over-ear walnut headphones. Well, they have decided to turn to Kickstarter in order to raise funds for the manufacturing and roll out of their first ever production wood headphones that will boast of Bluetooth connectivity, calling it the AE 51st Studios Unplugged.

I would like to think that the AE 51st Studios Unplugged intends to continue from where its highly successful predecessor, the AE 51st Studios, left off. Relying on the popular design, Accidentally Extraordinary (AE) hopes to raise $60,000 in the next 22 days on Kickstarter so that they can begin to produce the AE 51st Studios Unplugged.

Founder and CEO of AE Kunal Dalal shared, “This launch is important for us. We were thrilled with the love our first headphones received, and now we are trying to build on that success in market as seemingly crowded as this. Because, actually, when it comes to headphones like ours at this price-point, I don’t think there’s that much in the way of competition.”

The AE 51st Studios Unplugged model will support wireless connectivity obviously as it handles Bluetooth connectivity with ease, sporting a multi-function button that can handle power/playback/call functions, with an embedded microphone that caters for wireless calls. There is a sleek looking slider on the left ear cup for next/previous track, while the Volume Slider on the headphone will work too, regardless of whether it is in wired or wireless mode. Walnut wood is used for a distinguished look and a richer listening experience, while the clever implementation of anodized stainless steel for its headband delivers a clean, crisp, ultra-modern finish. Just in case the rest of your devices have not caught up with the Bluetooth program just yet, there will be a detachable 3.5mm cable that caters for wired listening.

There are times in life when we do not see the need to actually perform an upgrade to our existing hardware or car, simply because we love the current model, and have no need for something newer and better. However, technology moves at such a breakneck speed, that whatever is deemed as top of the range today might end up as obsolete just a short few months down the road. Let’s say you have a really good pair of headphones that you purchased a couple of years back, and love it to bits. Now that everyone’s jumped aboard the wireless bandwagon, what choice have you? Enter the $39.99 Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver, where it is capable of turning your favorite pair of headphones into a Bluetooth-compatible model.

The audio controls on the Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver would let you adjust the volume level, pause, and skip tracks, with the ability to switch seamlessly between audio and phone functions to boot. It will also be able to work with a speaker if you so desire, despite being designed for headphones primarily. Sporting a wireless range of 30 feet, the Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver has a rechargeable battery that delivers approximately 6 hours of talk time on a full charge.

A digital camera with an operating system that one would normally find on a smartphone? That would definitely sound as though the geek who spoke this had not yet slept through his hangover the night before if this were to happen a decade back, but in this day and age, just about anything is possible. So too, should one not doubt the existence of the Android totin’ Nikon Coolpix S810c digital camera.

The Nikon Coolpix S810c is a compact digital camera that comes equipped with Google’s Android operating system alongside built-in Wi-Fi connectivity which will combine advanced functions with ease of use. This single camera will target those who enjoy taking pictures, viewing them, and using them to connect with others. For starters, it will arrive with a 12x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, 16.0-million pixels, and a backside illumination CMOS sensor that support capture of images exhibiting superior image quality.

There is also a newly adopted comment function that enables users to add their very own comments, including their impression of the scene, right after the shutter is released, allowing you to remain in the moment for as long as possible, since it might be possible to convey in words right there and then on the spot. Needless to say, such a function enables users to enjoy a new way of taking and sharing photos.

The Nikon Coolpix S810c run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, where hooking up to the Internet via Wi-Fi is a snap, considering how the user interface would be familiar to those who use Android devices, as the operations are similar to those used with on an Android platform. You can post both photos and movies which were recorded with this digital camera, straight to social networking services (SNS) such as Google+, Facebook and Twitter. The Nikon Coolpix S810c is priced at $350 a pop when it arrives later this May.
