Hasta La Gadget!

We love our music, and can’t stand to be parted from it. There are different methods we use to listen to our tunes, such as speakers, earbuds, or headphones, and each have a plethora of styles, colors, and levels of quality. The ones I see most often used, and are quite frequently my spare ear buds, are the ones that come with Apple products.

They’re great and all, but have a penchant for falling out pretty regularly. They’re also usually too big or too small, and will either hurt you, or annoy you so much you just stop listening to your music.  The people who created Earhoox must have been pretty tired of this scenario as well. They made a sort of cure-all for this situation, and it comes in the form of a very odd-looking high grade, food safe piece of silicone.

This is an earbud attachment that will keep this kind of circular bud in place by nestling into a natural crevice in your ear. It’s not plastic and rigid, so you have less chance of being hurt by it. It is sweat and water resistant, and comes in either white or black, though it may not be the best option for runners. This should work for just about any circular earbuds, but it won’t do anything for in-ear buds or Apple EarPods. The damage is only $8, so it won’t be breaking the bank.

When it comes to the name Bang & Olufsen, you know for sure that your ears are in for a treat. Of course, quality comes with a price, and do not expect any of the Bang & Olufsen products that you read about here today to arrive cheap as they will most probably make a considerable dent in your bank account. Still, if you are in the market for wireless speakers and would like something which merges both form and function without worrying about how much it costs, then the trio of Bang & Olufsen wireless speakers ought to fit you to a T. These three speakers will take advantage of the new WiSA standard for multi-channel wireless sound, delivering acoustic performance beyond anything you have heard without cables, and they would arrive in the form of the BeoLab 17, the BeoLab 18, and the BeoLab 19.

The BeoLab 17 comes across as an extremely flexible, compact speaker that boasts of extremely large sound reproduction, while the BeoLab 18 would be the most recent incarnation of Bang & Olufsen’s sculpturally iconic audio columns when it comes to walls and floors. Last but not least, there is the BeoLab 19 which is a radically redesigned subwoofer that is capable of pumping ot refined bass with a visceral punch, with looks that could kill.

As mentioned earlier, they will all arrive with integrated WiSA standard for that added level of convenience. Apart from that, the BeoLab 18 will feature an acoustic lens tweeter and 21-lamella front that arrives in solid oak, black or white shades, being a quantum leap in the evolution of Bang & Olufsen’s signature column speakers. As for the BeoLab 17, it will feature a wedge-like form that makes it a snap to place just anywhere, ranging from bookshelves to walls. Not only that, BeoLab 19 is a subwoofer that will draw on the extraordinary rigidity of a 12-faced dodecahedron and a pair of drivers operating in-phase to eliminate unwanted vibrations.

Of course, most of us would be asking by now just how much these will cost? The BeoLab 17, 18 and 19 wireless speakers will be available from this month onward, retailing for $3,990, $6,590 and $3,395, respectively.

Sol Republic, a company with a passion for music and great sound, has teamed up with Motorola, and their partnership has resulted in the birth of the Tracks AIR wireless headphones. Of course, you might not think much about this particular pair of wireless headphones since they are dime a dozen in the market, but the Tracks AIR intends to be different as it claims to merge stellar sound, an unmatched 150-foot wireless range, dual-device connectivity and an unbelievable 15-hour battery life in a single device, delivering on-the-go convenience that active music lovers will love to have.

“Party like there is no tomorrow!” would have been one of the mantras of the younger ones out there, especially in this day and age where most of us want things instantly, without having to “pay our dues” first. You know what they say, if you want to get something done, do it yourself, and do it correctly. Hence, if you are the regular socialite in your neighborhood and love throwing parties like the Great Gatsby himself, then you would surely need more than an extravagant home. Harman has something special for you that comes in the form of the JBL Pulse, with it being described as being able to “change the way you enjoy music.” Ah well, there is only one particular way to find out whether that is true or not, and that would be to purchase a set yourself.

Just how does the JBL Pulse work? Well, it will firstly ensure that your favorite tunes will be heard, but what’s more interesting is, it will also ensure that your party would be the best in the neighborhood since you will also be seen. Imagine a lightshow that is perfectly synchronized in brightness, alongside the color. That would definitely be something worth checking out ,wouldn’t it?

The JBL Pulse is said to offer gives music that is not only heard, but “seen”, as it merges room-filling JBL sound with an eye-catching, programmable LED light show, all crammed into a tiny portable speaker.

Serious audiophiles would always want nothing but the very best for their ears, and when it comes to a good pair of headphones, I would like to think that brand loyalty does play a very important role, although there are times when it would be good if one could expand one’s horizons and settle for something different. Who knows? Your ears might just thank you for it. The $99.99 Marshall Major FX Headphones could be your next purchase if you are on the lookout for a new pair of headphones, where it comes with classic Marshall styling and technology for that added touch of class.

It is the ideal pair of headphones for classic rock audiophiles, where it features a 40mm moving coil dynamic speaker to boot for that enhanced audio quality. In-ear headphones would no doubt be a whole lot more subtle, and those who are behind you will tend not to realize that you are wearing a pair, but when it comes to over-ear headphones, they are an obvious enough sign that you should be left alone, and do not want to be disturbed. The Marshall Major FX Headphones would play nice with majority of the devices out there which use a 3.5mm standard audio plug (in-line volume/call control only works with iOS devices), and within the adjustable headband, you will find the words “London England 1962″ inscribed for that added touch of authenticity.
