bose-soundlink-microWhen it comes to audio products, there is one particular name that virtually everyone has heard of: Bose. In fact, the company knows that not everyone would love to listen to their music in a room or in a car. Some of us would prefer to bring our music with us, which is why the portable speaker market niche has seen its fair share of offerings in recent years. Bose’s latest effort will certainly provide plenty of value for money in the form of the Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker.

It might be small in size, but make no mistake about it — the SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker is certainly able to churn out some really loud tunes. Bose proudly acclaims the SoundLink Micro to be its smallest and most rugged portable speaker to date. It measures a mere 3.75-inches wide and deep, with a height of 1.5-inches. All of it will weigh just 0.64 pounds, meaning the SoundLink Micro is extremely tiny. Turn it on and you might wonder how did Bose fit in such a beast of a portable speaker into something so small, delivering unmatched sound for its size.

Apart from simply enjoying music on the SoundLink Micro, you will also be able to receive and make calls, or talk to Siri or Google Assistant regardless of where you are. Being built to be able to meet just about anything or any situation, the SoundLink Micro will feature a new custom transducer, miniature dual-passive radiators, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. You get up to half a dozen hours of audio playback with something that fits into the palm of your hand. Not only that, it is tough enough to survive extreme temperatures, while the IPX7 rating makes it waterproof from the inside out. Soapy water, chlorinated water, or salt water, the SoundLink Micro asks you to bring it on!

The Bose SoundLink Micro will retail for $109.95 a pop if you are interested.

To go wireless is the future, and depending on your budget, you will be able to start with just a single speaker, or a handful of them. The choice is yours. Regardless of the space, it is bound to be enough for a Marshall speaker.

First of all, there is the Acton multi-room speaker that retails for $350 a pop. It might be compact in its size, but the sound that it pumps out is nothing short of amazing. In fact, the Acton is said to be able to produce a well-balanced, powerful audio experience, while arriving in a form factor that is small enough to have it fit on the tiniest of shelves.

The Stanmore is able to deliver on the promise of high-performance sound which lives up to the Marshall name. It delivers clean and precise audio regardless of the level, courtesy of the advanced components crammed within.

Last but not least is the $600 Woburn multi-room speaker.

Thanks to dual 5.25” woofers together with 110 watts of amp power, your senses will be pounded with aplomb. Which Marshall speaker suits your home?

LINQ Charger Bracelet is a cool way of remaining charged

Posted by Jack on in charger bracelet, charging cable, Electronic Gadgets, linq charger bracelet

linqIn this day and age, just about everyone owns a mobile device — or more. A smartphone is considered to be an essential piece of hardware that we carry around, while a tablet is more often than not an extension of our office. Well, all of that constant usage can only translate to one thing: your smartphone is going to run out of juice, and pretty fast, too. What better way than to make sure that there is a method of keeping your smartphone juiced up all the time, with an option to transfer information or data to a computer so that you can free up more space? This is what LINQ’s stylish Lightning cable Charger Bracelet for iPhone and iPad is all about.

As you can tell by its name, LINQ’s Charger Bracelet was specially designed in order to make sure that you no longer need to worry about remaining connected to the world around you. It is versatile enough to be worn around your wrist during the daytime as well as at night, taking a mere one hour to recharge, while leaving the door open for you to synchronize to iTunes. To deliver additional connectivity, LINQ has also announced the Ultra Slim Power Bank, which is tiny enough to remain snugly in your pocket without adding any extra weight, while providing a full phone charge at the same time.

The LINQ Charger Bracelet will feature a durable, double wrap lighting cable charger for iPhone and iPad, arriving in men’s and women’s sizes (L/XL and S/M), respectively. It is available for pre-order at the moment on Indiegogo for $24.99 apiece.

Daniel Kasidi, CEO and creator, shared, “I wanted to create a design that was simple yet functional for people with active lifestyles. LINQ was designed as a stylish double wrap bracelet that can go with any look. Have you ever left your charger at home when traveling or leaving the house? LINQ creates a peace of mind for those that have to stay connected for any reason; work, travel, socially, or family.”

Posted by Jack on in Cat, cat phone, cat s31, cat s31 phone, Mobile Phones, Smartphone

cat-s31Now here is a smartphone that those who have butterfingers are able to identify with — the Cat S31. What makes the Cat S31 so special? For starters, this is a rugged and resilient smartphone that comes packed to the brim in order to enable it to face harsh environments, or great adventures outdoors. Either way, it does not matter, as it will continue to work just fine.

Key hardware specifications of the Cat S31 include a 4.7-inch 720p High Definition display that has been specially optimized for use outdoors, and its touchscreen can also be used if your fingers are wet or if it is really cold and you’ve a pair of gloves on. 2GB of RAM will be accompanied by 16GB of internal memory, which can be further augmented by a microSD memory card.A quad-core 1.3GHz Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm will keep things running, while the 8MP camera at the back should be adequate for everyday use, with a 2MP front-facing camera being available for selfies. Running on Android Nougat, we are not quite sure whether it is going to receive the Android Oreo update or not. A 4,000mAh battery will be able to provide you with more than enough juice to last throughout the day.

Now, the big question is, just how large is it? It is ideal for all sorts of situations, including construction, agriculture, security, and vehicle repair, or for one to indulge in activities such as hiking, fishing, and biking. The casing is rated at IP68 waterproof, where it is also dust resistant and drop proof, allowing you to drop it to 1.8m onto concrete without breaking into a sweat. This MIL SPEC 810G phone has also been waterproof tested to remain submerged up to 1.2 meters of water for as long as 35 minutes, and is full well capable of handling thermal shocks, too. This is definitely a smartphone from Cat that is worthy of its name, like its predecessors.
