must-have-speakers

If you’re on the lookout for a gift for a young girl that loves her music, then these little speakers are made just for teen girls.  Of course they’ll work just as well for a female of any age that enjoys her share of pink gadgets.  These speakers are small enough that they’ll be easy to keep on hand whenever you need a little portable music.

Sony and Netflix to team up

October 26th, 2009 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets

sony-netflixSony will be working hand in hand with Netflix in order to make available thousands upon thousands of movies and TV episodes from Netflix to be streamed straight onto TVs as long as your living room (or wherever else that you’re most comfortable with to be entertained) has some room for a PS3 console. This streaming service from Netflix will be made available to the PS3 from November onwards for free, but bear in mind this is limited to just folks living in the US as other people outside of the country will have to settle for what they have currently. It does make us wonder though – will this move see an increase in PS3 sales just to take advantage of such a feature? After all, the console does already come with a very attractive price point at this moment in time.

With the PS3 system’s installed base having reached a near 9 million units Stateside, it has a critical mass for Netflix to explore this segment, where they themselves have 11.1 million U.S. subscribers as of September 30. Apart from playing the latest games in High Definition, PS3 owners will also have a plethora of other entertainment options made available to them including watching Blu-ray movies, listening to music, viewing photos, browsing the Internet and downloading content straight from PlayStation Network. Throw instant streaming services from Netflix and you have a likely winner here.

All you need to do is fork out a low monthly fee of just $8.99 as long as you’re a Netflix member, where you can then instantly watch unlimited movies and TV episodes streamed to your TVs and computers through the use of Netflix ready devices including the PS3, having a virtually unlimited number of DVDs delivered to your home without having to involve the post office or burden the environment even more. If you’re a Netflix member and PS3 system owner, you will be able to reserve a free instant streaming disc for PS3 systems by heading here. Upon availability, the instant streaming disc will be delivered without having to fork out a penny via first-class mail.

Coffee Table features speakers in the legs

October 23rd, 2009 by Ally in Audio/Video Gadgets, Home Gadgets

table_of_sound-coffee-table-500x422

There are a great deal of designers trying to hide your speakers in other devices or at least making it so that they blend in with the rest of your décor.  Yet this designer has gone for a slightly different angle, they’re making the speakers a feature of sorts.  For once it’s not done in a bad way either.  The speakers built into the table somehow give the table an extra edge that it would not have had without them.

Polk Audio unveils HitMaster gaming speaker

October 23rd, 2009 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

polk-audio-hitmaster

Polk Audio is a well known name when it comes to audio equipment, and this time round the company wants to dip their fingers into the potentially lucrative gaming market. After all, if gamers can splurge on new peripherals that supposedly enhance the overall gaming experience, surely those who have an ear for detail (excuse the pun) will find that the Polk Audio HitMaster gaming speaker is more than capable of bringing Rock Band and Guitar Hero gameplay to a totally new level of depth and detail like never before. We’re assuming you have been using your standard TV speakers all the while though, so do excuse us if the assumption that you’re not running some high end living room entertainment system offends you.

The Mini Bomb Speaker

October 21st, 2009 by Ally in Audio/Video Gadgets

mini-bomb-speaker

When you need a portable speaker, you might as well get one with a bit of personality and this speaker definitely has personality.  This miniature bomb looks like a bomb you’d find in the old Looney Tunes cartoons.  He has a permanent look of surprise on his face, although they don’t explain what he’s so surprised about.  This bomb will be sure to play your music whether you have an iPod or just a generic MP3 player.  He’s not picky.

Hands on Review of the TRITTON AX 720 gaming audio system

October 19th, 2009 by Mark R in Audio/Video Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

AX 720This isn’t the first time that we have covered one of TRITTON’s gaming headsets, and if the company keeps making headphones of this quality, then it won’t be the last, either.

Although the AX 720 is designed to work with the XBox, PS3, and PC, it certainly would give the gamer the most mileage if used with the first two. The AX720 includes a 720 AMP, and it is designed as a Dolby Digital recorder to place the gamer into a whole new realm of sound.

No software CD was included with the setup, but you will need to set it up with the optical cable if you really want to experience the full effect of the sound with the included AMP.
