jlab-audioA pair of headphones or earphones are pretty much something that many of us already own — in various forms and guises, of course, that will cater to a myriad of ways in which we use it. Some of us would prefer those puffed up headphones that offer noise cancellation as it comes in handy during those long, trans-Atlantic flights, while others would prefer something that is lightweight and more importantly, wireless, because they like to wear it on their evening runs. JLab Audio has just the perfect thing for active folks, offering the Epic Air True Wireless Sport Earbuds for $149.99 apiece.

This is definitely not the most affordable pair of earbuds in the world, but what makes it unique is the fact that it claims to offer an extremely robust battery life where wireless earbuds are concerned. Sporting a patent-pending antenna earhook that ensures it remains in place all the time, the Epic Air True Wireless Sport Earbuds comes with Bluetooth connectivity so that users will see cutouts and skips as a thing of the past.

Each of these earhooks come with Bluetooth 4.1 with aptX Technology antenna, allowing it to be more versatile since either earbud is able to pick up the connection. Accompanied by a battery life of up to 7 hours, it features a charging case that offers more than 30 hours of battery life. This charging case does more than just juice it up, since it also doubles up as a portable charger for other compatible devices. It even comes with lights that indicate the existing battery level, so that you will always know just how much juice there is left remaining.

To further sweeten the deal, the Epic Air is rated as IP55, which makes it splashproof and perfect for use even when you use it outdoors while it is drizzling lightly. Do you sweat much during your workouts? The Epic Air allows you to rinse it without any problem at all, too.

The Ambie Ear Cuff Earphones – don’t tune out completely!

Posted by Jack on in Audio/Video Gadgets, Headphones

Ambie

Some days we have too many thoughts running in our heads. The things we have to do at home, errands, any loose ends that were left at work, what we’re behind on for our personal goals, visiting family, friends, the fact that we should be taking a more proactive stance on our health; it all gets to be too much at times. Music can match our mood, and it can also drown out the thoughts of what you need to do and put you in the present moment.

The downside to listening to music is that we often turn it up so high that we can no longer interact with the world around us. If you’re out in public while listening to tunes, you might be in danger and can’t notice because your ear buds are drowning out all the sound. These Ambie Ear Cuff Earphones will let you be in the moment both by letting you hear the music that grounds you, as well as exterior noises.

Aside from being a cuff that wraps around your ear, these function like your standard headphones, with a mic for taking calls, and inline volume and playback controls. They don’t come cheap at $110, and you’ll have your choice of black, brown, white, orange, blue, or green. The specs seem reasonable, but since this is intended for being present both in your music and the outside world, you’ll have to be wary of how loud they are lest you want others listening in.

Available for purchase on JapanTrendShop

vmoda-remixV-MODA is well known when it comes to rolling out high-fidelity audio devices, and this time around, they have come up with the REMIX. REMIX is the very first portable Bluetooth speaker from the company that is able to roll out uncompromising sound quality alongside design, in addition to unrivaled 3D-printed customization options for every single surface. This is the result of three years of R&D that involved dozens of engineers and more than 50 prototypes.

With the foundation of V-MODA’s multi-award-winning audio technology shaping the REMIX into what it is today, it delivers precise and vibrant sound regardless of the listening levels. It will arrive in a couple of finishes – minimal CNC aluminum and luxurious vegan leather comes together, where the premium speaker is beautifully proportioned and completely customizable on all six sides, helping it to reflect the personality of its owner.

The REMIX measures slightly more than 8” wide, and has been specially designed to go anywhere, resulting in phenomenal, lifelike sound regardless of where you are. There is a newly designed glass-fiber diaphragm and long coil drivers that power it, while a rear-mounted bass reflex port ensures that one’s ears are treated to an accurate, clearly defined sound which is also powerful enough for monitoring duties during mobile recording and production. The REMIX is ideal for traveling as much as it is at home in your living room or at the office.

Since the REMIX is the world’s first 3D-printed custom speaker, it allows all half dozen sides of the REMIX to be personalized. It relies on V-MODA’s renowned jewelry-grade 3D-printing expertise so that owners are able to add new sides, make changes to the front grill, or even replace the main “C-shell” housing in order to deliver the ultimate in bespoke appearance. The choice of materials are aplenty, with lightweight matte fiber in 9 vibrant colors, 5 distinctive versions of steel, raw brass and bronze, sterling silver, 14k gold-plated and rhodium, 14-karat gold and platinum to boot. The sky’s the limit — or rather, your budget.
