There are only a few consumer-level options for shooting 4K video, but Sony clearly has a plan for stepping forward and bring the goods in this department. The new AX100 camcorder not only shoots 4K, but has a host of other awesome-sounding specs to attract video shooters.

[CES 2014] Headphones are great for taking with you on runs, waiting while taking public transport, or while traveling, but if there’s one annoying aspect is that sometimes the cables of these headphones tend to get caught on things which can be incredibly frustrating. Now for those looking for a wireless pair of headphones, headphone and cable company, Monster, has recently announced their new pair of DNA Pro wireless headphones (the wireless version of Monster’s DNA headphones), which as the name implies is a pair of headphones that does not require a cable connection, but will instead pair with media devices like smartphones and tablets via a Bluetooth connection.
Designed for the more discerning listener in mind, the DNA Pro wireless headphones will feature embedded AAC and APT-X formats for both iOS and Android devices, which should on paper enhance the listening experience, versus traditional MP3 formats in which certain sound qualities might have been compressed or cut out in a bid to reduce file size. The headphones will feature active noise cancelling and will also come with a USB Direct Digital Audio connection for those who might prefer a wired connection, especially if they feel that some audio qualities might be lost if transmitted wirelessly. The headphones will also be able to “power down” when folded away, thanks to a special hinge built into them.
According to Monster, the DNA Pro wireless headphones will be made available in the second quarter of 2014 and will be priced at $449.95.

[CES 2014] Back in 2012, Monster unveiled a rather interesting pair of headphones shaped like a diamond. It was admittedly pretty gaudy but it was meant to be more of a fashion statement if anything else, and it looks like Monster is back in 2014 with their new DiamondZ headphones with limited edition colors that include Rose Gold, Chrome, Black Chrome, and Clear Blue. Now for those who think that these headphones are catered towards females, think again because Monster believes that these headphones will be able to appeal to not just women, but to men as well. Since fashion is largely subjective, why not, right? Just like Monster’s other offerings, the DiamondZ will feature the company’s Pure Monster Sound technology which is personally tuned by Monster’s Noel Lee.
The headphones will pack Monster’s ControlTalk Universal cables and will also come with a Monster Cleaning Cloth with Aegis Microbe Shield to help keep those headphones shiny like diamonds for a long time. It will also come with a Touring Case that lets you pack the headphones and take them with you on the go. Unfortunately it looks like inflation might have caught up with Monster as the company’s DiamondZ pair of headphones are now priced at a slightly higher $329.95 versus the $279.95 when it was launched two years ago. So, any takers?

[CES 2014]It’s not news that Sony is investing heavily in the 4K content pipeline from end-to-end, meaning that they have solutions that span from when the content is created to when it is watched in people’s homes. In 2014 and with the rise of HEVC (a better compression standard for 4K videos), Sony can push deeper into 4K territory. That’s what the Bravia X line of television has been designed for. (more…)

[CES 2014] While we expect that regular camcorders are more than capable of taking action videos, such as during sporting events, action camcorders might do a better job due to their durability and also because sometimes these action camcorders can be worn, allowing athletes to film their stunts from a first-person perspective. One of those cameras would be the Sony HDR-AS100V which is the company’s latest high-end wearable action camcorder. (more…)

[CES 2014] Ever since the FDR-AX1 4K (3840×2160) camcorder was announced, we knew that Sony would eventually put a high-performance 4K recorder in the palm of your hand. The question was “when”, and now we have the answer: “now” (almost). The Sony FDR-AX100 is a compact 4K camcorder that supplements the 4K line up from Sony. The AX1 will continue to exist because its form-factor can cater to professionals, but the AX100 bring many of the same features down to a size (66% smaller), and a price ($1999) that is much more approachable for semi-pros, enthusiasts and consumers.

[CES 2014] When it comes to zoom cameras, there are a few options available to photographers. They can get themselves a DSLR and a set of zoom lenses which can go incredibly far, but the drawback is that DSLR cameras tend to be bulky and good zoom lenses tend to be extremely expensive. If you have no need to a super zoom lens, perhaps a compact zoom digital camera might suit you better and Sony might have the answer for you in the form of the Cyber-shot W830 compact zoom digital camera.
