marshall-monitor-bluetoothMarshall is a well known name when it comes to audio products, and this includes speakers and headphones. After all, they have a rich heritage in this particular area of technology, and it does not look like they are going to relinquish their position anytime soon. In fact, the latest product from Marshall is their very first attempt at rolling out a wireless over-ear headphone in the form of the Marshall Monitor Bluetooth. The Monitor Bluetooth will come with custom-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers, ensuring that it is able to deliver an exceptional Hi-Fi sound which will perfectly balance clarity as well as bass with a wide frequency range. Not only that, this ergonomic over-ear construction that it comes with will be able to deliver superior noise isolation sans the bulk, as it remains light on your ears despite enjoying hours of listening.

The Monitor Bluetooth is deemed to be the ultimate traveling companion, thanks to its collapsible design which is able to withstand long days while you are on the road. Whenever you are ready to put them down, just fold them up and stash them away in the included canvas-carrying bag for safekeeping. Marshall Monitor Bluetooth is all set to hit the worldwide market at the end of this month with an asking price of $250 a pop.

With the Monitor Bluetooth, it will be accompanied by Bluetooth aptX tech­nology that not only offers exceptional audio qual­ity as well as a higher bitrate for superb listening, it will also do its bit to minimize audio/video-syncing issues so that one is able to enjoy movies with per­fect lip sync. Apart from that, it will also deliver perfect freedom in moving around thanks to 30 feet of wireless listening range. The battery life stands at more than 30 hours on a solitary charge, and it can be plugged via the detachable 3.5mm cord just in case you come across a more archaic device, and make use of the included micro USB charging cable for recharging purposes.

Beam Smart Projector

If you’re all about having a smart home, then you likely dream of having a similar setup to Tony Stark’s workshop. Everything is a motion or spoken word away from popping up before your very eyes. Currently it takes no small measure of work and money to have access to even a modicum of that same fluidity throughout your home. The most a fair number of us could manage right now is having Alexa hooked up to some smart lights that turn on or off when we say so.

Should you be the type of person who is always watching something, then having a screen pop up wherever you’d like would be a venture worth pursuing. Enter in the Beam, a smart projector that will screw into any light socket, and give you a projector wherever you’d like. This means you can watch your favorite show on the kitchen counter while cooking, wake up to the news on the wall by your bed, or watch a movie in the tub.

This is based off of the Pico LED projector which puts out 100 lumens, and has an image size range of 5-150 inches. This will connect with any app that’s on Beam, and you can control it through your smartphone or tablet. This is a $449.99 purchase, which makes it something that you’ll have to think over a bit more thoroughly before jumping into.

Available for purchase on Amazon

The Avegant Glyph are headphones that separate you from the real world

Avegant Glyph

Dealing with people is usually the last thing anyone wants to do. While some humans are awesome, going out in public with a whole mess of them on a train, plane, or bus is sometimes overwhelming in a bad way. We use music and social media to tune them out, but that doesn’t completely remove the potential for eye contact, or worse…conversation.

If you want to completely tune out of reality and have a long commute home, where you don’t have drive or pay attention to your surroundings in any manner, then these Avegant Glyph Headphones will be a dream come true. These are a video headset that will let you watch movies, play games, and more through this audio and video portable theater. They can connect to just about any smartphone, tablet, drone, or gaming console up to 40,000 feet away, or about 7.5 miles away.

You’ll be able to wear these like normal headphones and use them as such, but obviously the big draw is the display aspect. The cool thing about this device is that it reflects light with over two million micro-mirrors, which replicates natural human eyesight, so you won’t burn out your eyes at such a close range to the screen! Keeping that in mind, these are not cheap at $499, but it will give you some measure of privacy when it feels like you have none.

lg-tone-studioNot all headphones are created equal, that is for sure. You can have earbuds that remain in place no matter how active a lifestyle you lead, while others might settle for a pair of noise-cancellation headphones — the large, bulky ones that make sure your long haul flight has one of the best possible experiences. Well, LG has released something that it teased at CES 2017 right at the start of the year — the LG Tone Ultra.

The LG Tone Ultra might be mistaken for a pair of headphones, but in reality, this is actually a new kind of wearable speaker that will make sure your body feels as though you were right smack in the middle of the action, be it a high octane game, or in an action movie.

The $299 LG Tone Studio is the latest around-the-neck Bluetooth wearable speaker that will play nice with Bluetooth audio enabled LG Smart TVs running WebOS, providing you with the experience of surround sound regardless of where you are. What makes the LG Tone Studio so special?There are not just one or up to three, but rather, a quartet of speakers that will truly let you immerse yourself in real 3D Surround Sound whenever you indulge in watching a movie, playing a video game, streaming music or simply talking on the phone.

During moments when personal surround sound is not required, the LG TONE Studio will boast of the legacy TONE tangle free, retractable earbuds that are seen in LG’s range up of Bluetooth headsets such as the LG Tone Ultra, LG Tone Active, LG Tone Infinim, and LG Tone Platinum. Sharing the action is as simple as turning on the Dual Play feature, as you hook up a pair of LG Tone Studio wearable speakers so that you can let everyone else around you enjoy sounds from a movie, playlist or others.
