x3_hifi_digital_music_playerI know that times are still difficult for a fair number of people in the world at the moment, as the economy is not really picking up in the manner that most of us would like it to. Having said that, the eternal search fro the best bargains possible continue, even when it comes to the highly competitive tech sector. For those who want a digital audio player that delivers when it comes to sound quality, I guess things do not really get any better other than the $199.99 X3 HiFi Digital Music Player.

This puppy will be able to offer lossless playback from a digital audio player, where among the bevy of audio formats supported include WAV, APE, FLAC, MP3, WMA, OGG, ALAC(M4A), AAC, AMR, and MP2. Tell, your Star Trek loving audiophile that “resistance is futile” when it comes to adding to their collection of audio enhancing products and devices. The 3,000mAh lithium ion battery is touted to offer a wee bit more than 10 hours of non-stop playback, and best of all is, you will be able to perform a recharge using the included microUSB cable. All purchases will feature a silicone case, a couple of additional screen protectors, a co-ax converter cable, and a manual.

Vivo X3 smartphone stuffs air gestures and high-end audio into a 5.75mm-thick shell (video)

Vivo X3 smartphone stuffs air gestures and highend audio into a 575mmthick shell

Did you think Huawei’s Ascend P6 was a slim smartphone? It has nothing on BBK’s just-unveiled Vivo X3. Despite a 5-inch (if 720p) screen, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a front 5-megapixel shooter and a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek processor, the X3 measures a wafer-like 5.75mm thick in its blue variant. There’s plenty of party tricks under the hood, too — the Android 4.2 device has both an infrared sensor for touch-free gestures and a dedicated audio chip from ESS. It also preserves much of the better hardware from its slower and thicker X1S cousin, including the 16GB of non-expandable storage and the 2,000mAh battery. The Vivo X3 ships to China on September 1st for the same ¥2,498 ($408) as the X1S. If the device proves tempting, you can check out the Engadget Chinese hands-on; their English-language video is available after the break.
