@UltimateEars #WONDERBOOM: Pint-Size #Speaker With Surprisingly Big #Sound

Hi Guys, 

Meet the latest addition to the Ultimate Ears family of portable, seriously waterproof, go-anywhere speakers: the new Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM, a pint-sized BluetoothⓇ speaker with huge personality and surprisingly big sound. The ultra portable WONDERBOOM delivers uncompromising sound quality with clear, crisp, non-stop sound, as well as big, beautiful bass. WONDERBOOM is available in six fresh colours: Stone (Grey), Phantom (Black), Fireball (Red), SubZero (Blue), Cashmere (Pink) and Lilac.

WONDERBOOM is designed for music lovers who are connected, on-the-move and want their music from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep. They also want their technology in an intuitive form that fits their spirited, spontaneous lives. WONDERBOOM is about music － with no fuss and no friction. It is a speaker that stands on simplicity and huge sound. Power on, pair, press play. Want more? The UE button on the top of the speaker lets you play, pause, skip and double up with two WONDERBOOM speakers for double the fun.

With WONDERBOOM, you can free your music from your phone and enjoy your music the way it is meant to be heard － out loud. Stream and share your music anytime, anywhere, with WONDERBOOM, whether you’re partying by the pool, getting ready for a night out with friends or surviving that muddy, dusty summer festival. If it gets soaked, no worries. If it gets dirty, rinse it off.

“Don’t be fooled by its size or price; this little beauty is also a beast,” said Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “WONDERBOOM is a pint-sized, super-portable Bluetooth speaker with surprisingly big sound. And, just like the rest of the Ultimate Ears family, it’s also virtually indestructible.”

Like its award-winning siblings Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 and Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM, WONDERBOOM blasts crisp and clear 360-degree sound with immersive, balanced bass and is drop-proof from up to five feet. WONDERBOOM boasts a 10-hour battery life and 100-foot wireless Bluetooth range. Seriously waterproof and worry-proof, WONDERBOOM is IPX7 rated (so it can be immersed in water up to one meter for up to 30 minutes), floats on its own, and sports a hanging loop on top so it can be easily attached to any bag. Gear on with WONDERBOOM on a bicycle, hook it to a backpack, or cannonball into a cove without thinking twice. Never miss a beat with the new WONDERBOOM. Live for fun, not fussy features. Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM is expected to arrive in South Africa later in 2017.

 

Cheers!!!

@SamsungSA #Speakers Make Their Mark On The History of #Sound

Hi Guys,

 

The desire to amplify sound has been with the human race since time immemorial. However, it was only with the development of the gramophone in the 1880s that the need to amplify sound for the purposes of pleasure became necessary.

These early music players used simple horns to increase the volume of the songs, but as these do not utilise electricity, they were only able to magnify sounds to a degree. When the secrets of electrical amplification were discovered, the possibility of generating sound loud enough to fill large public spaces was raised.

“Samsung has taken to heart the lessons learned in speaker development over the course of nearly 150 years and combined this history with its own future-sense to create a whole new way of listening to sound,” says Mike van Lier, Director: Consumer Electronics Samsung South Africa.

Sound systems today have come a long way since the first modern speaker, using an electromagnet to turn electric signals of varying strength into movement, was launched in the 1920s.

“It is interesting to note that while the electromagnet part of the speaker was invented as far back as the late 1800s, it took almost a further 50 years for engineers to develop knowledge of acoustics and materials,” Van Lier adds.

Since then, the world of the speaker has grown in leaps and bounds, with stereophonic sound demonstrated back in the 1930s. The need for effective long-distance radio communication during World War II led to many additional advances and by the 1960s, speakers had gone mobile, thanks to everything from basic pocket radios to entire portable turntables with built-in speakers.

The 1970s brought noise reduction technology and a new International Standard in noise reproduction. By the late 20th century, people were talking about ‘tweeters’, ‘woofers’ and ‘sub-woofers.

“Current speakers have evolved from the standard dynamic speaker design that held sway for decades. Flat-panel speakers are designed to decrease the size of speaker boxes; ribbon driven speakers use super-light aluminium foil film as a diaphragm and plasma arc speakers use ionised gas as a diaphragm,” continues Van Lier.

“While there is room for many types of speaker designs, Samsung believes it has created a true next-generation sound with its popular Wireless Audio 360 range, which does more than merely project sound in a single direction. Instead, these exceptional, egg-shaped amplifiers are Omni-directional, capable of filling an entire room with sound, regardless of where the device is placed.”

The Samsung Wireless Audio 360 range offers up to six hours of playing time of realistic HD audio and is able to capture the quality and richness of the original sound with 192 kHz/24-bit sampling. As far as connectivity options go, it offers Wireless LAN, Bluetooth and TV Sound Connect and it can be controlled by mobile devices with the following operating systems: Android 2.3.3 and above and iOS 6.0 and above.

Samsung WAM35001XA

“Not only are these speakers unique in being able to disperse sound evenly in all directions, but the distinctive form enables it to fit seamlessly into the décor and design of any home. Furthermore, the speakers can be controlled via an app downloaded to a smartphone, tablet or smartwatch. By focusing on both sound quality and aesthetics, Samsung’s commitment to innovation and design has certainly contributed significantly to the long and glorious history of the speaker,” Van Lier concludes.

The Samsung Wireless Audio 360 speaker models are available at selected Samsung Brand Stores and leading retailers at the following recommended retail prices (RRP):
WAM15001XA - R2999
WAM35001XA - R3699

@BangOlufsenSA Launched #BeoplayA1 #Bluetooth Speaker #CecilieManz

Hi Guys, 

Bang and Olufsen PLAY announced the smallest and most adventurous member in its family of portable Bluetooth speakers, Beoplay A1. Designed for life on the go, the Beoplay A1 combines beautiful Danish design by award-winning Cecilie Manz, signature sound by Bang and Olufsen, a speakerphone for taking calls out loud and up to 24 hours of battery life that keeps the music playing long after most competitors have gone silent.

“People today seek elegance, simplicity and flexibility in the way they live with music. They want their speaker to deliver a rich and beautiful soundscape for their home as well as seamless portability for life on the go”, says Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, Corporate VP of B/O PLAY. “With the Beoplay A1 we have pushed the boundaries of the ultra-portable speaker category and empowered people to take powerful sound and beautiful design anywhere they choose”. 

Designed for everyday adventures

Beoplay A1 comes with a beautifully contoured aluminium dome, which gives it a light and elegant appearance and forms a strong protective housing for the technologies within. The dome conforms seamlessly to the double moulded polymer base presenting a completely smooth and continuous surface. 

As part of the design, there are no protruding buttons or legs to snag, and the surface of Beoplay A1 is completely smooth and robust enough to handle the bumps and scrapes of everyday use. It comes with a soft leather strap inviting you to carry it everywhere, attach it to a rucksack on the go, or to hang it anywhere in your home.

“We wanted to make a portable speaker that people would not leave at home. The size and shape of the speaker invites you to pick it up and bring it with you as the most natural thing. The combination of premium materials, cool aluminium, soft polymer and the warm touch of leather makes it almost desirable to hold. I like the fact that the rounded, circular shape very clearly indicates the sharing of sound while lying on the table”, says designer Cecilie Manz.

Signature sound by Bang and Olufsen 

Building on more than 90 years of sound expertise, the Beoplay A1 sets new standards for portable Bluetooth speakers on sound dispersion, volume and bass characteristics. Using a unique dedicated DSP algorithm with advanced high slope filtering, Beoplay A1 is able to create a spacious 360-degree soundscape. This provides listeners with the same beautiful sound experience wherever they are located. Despite its compact footprint, measuring just 133mm x 48mm (5.2” x 1.9”) with a weight of only 600g (1.3 pounds), the speaker’s fully active, two way design using an aluminium cone mid woofer, a silk dome ¾” tweeter and advanced DSP filtering will wow you with crisp, loud and clear audio. Thanks to a new aluminium Cone Mid-Woofer using a powerful neodymium magnetic system and high peak power amps, the Beoplay A1 delivers a full range deep bass to as low as 40hz and enough stamina to keep the music playing for hours on end. 

24 hours of portable playtime

Beoplay A1 comes with a rechargeable 2200mAh Li-Ion battery that provides up to 24 hours portable playtime during everyday use. This industry-leading standard is delivered by the inventive amp control. The Adaptive Power Management makes it possible to feed the exact amount of power needed by the amplifiers - and only when they need it. This means the power supply changes dynamically for increased battery life. 

Speakerphone for business and pleasure

Beoplay A1 has a built-in speakerphone for taking calls out loud, and the patent-pending rimmed design on the speaker’s bottom edge enables the microphone to provide uniform 360 speech sensitivity. This enables the person listening to recognize voices perfectly, no matter where people are speaking in proximity to the microphone. 

Easy access to your favourite music

Pressing the circular connect button on the side of the speaker will reconnect the speaker to the last used device and instantly play the last song you heard. Going forward the connect button will receive updates to add even more functionality to the speaker. 

Price and availability

Beoplay A1 launches in moss green and natural and is available for a suggested retail price at R 4 999. Both colours will be available in B/O stores, on www.beoplay.com/beoplaya1 and in selected third party retailers from April 21 2016.

About The Designer 

Cecilie Manz (1972) is a Danish industrial designer considered to be one of the leading Danish industrial designers of her generation. In September 2014, she won the Danish Crown Prince Couple’s Culture Award for her contribution to design. Her work includes furniture, jewellery, lamps and sculptures and her Mikado table has been included in MOMA’s design collection. Cecilie Manz has designed the Beoplay A2 (2014) and the Beolit 15 (2015) for B/O PLAY. http://www.ceciliemanz.com/

I have fallen in love with the brand as I reviewed H7 earlier and H2 currently in headphones series but unable to find words to define the awesome audio experience these headphones produces.

Hi Guys,

B&O PLAY by BANG & OLUFSEN introduces BeoPlay A6 speaker system. Designed to fit a modern lifestyle with multiple work and leisure locations around the house the unique shape spreads the sound to the entire room and maintains an ambient character no matter where you are. BeoPlay A6 features an innovative tap and swipe interface, a smooth connection with almost all streaming standards and a unique cover collaboration with Kvadrat, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of design textiles.

“BeoPlay A6 is an exciting new addition to the B&O PLAY line-up. We wanted to create a flexible and powerful music system tailored to the dynamic life of the modern music lover.

BeoPlay A6 was designed by award-winning Danish designer Jakob Wagner. To him the acoustic vision was the starting point when designing BeoPlay A6.

“In a way I have designed BeoPlay A6 the same way I design a piece of furniture, however here form follows sound and interaction. It’s intuitive yet surprising shape always “plays to you” no matter where you are and generates a much more intimate relationship than you would normally get from a conventional music system. BeoPlay A6 can blend in gracefully with almost any interior yet stand out with its distinct character. No matter if you place it freely, in a corner or on the wall it will become the centre of social interaction like a contemporary jukebox”, says Jakob Wagner.

Easy and intuitive to use

BeoPlay A6 is a five-channel speaker with four speakers on the front and one full-tone driver pointing backwards that maximize the spaciousness of the sound. Each speaker has its own dedicated digital amplifier.

Collaboration with Kvadrat

The custom-made textile on the front cover is the result of a close collaboration with Kvadrat, one of

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Aug 2014 (500th Post)

Hi Guys,

August is the month when you start planning big things for yourself as the weather changes and it renews your resolutions to go into full bloom. This is my 500th post on my blog The Life's Way and it's been a journey of more than 33 months now. My blog has reached a place where I wanted it to be but still a lot of work needs to be done daily on the same. I hope to reach 650 posts by the end of this year which seems like a difficult task but let's see and start aiming towards the same!

Last Year, August in Johannesburg was very cold as compared to this year's winters weather. I started this series of posts last year in the month of August only and it really gives a perspective as to what you was thinking and where were you with your blog. 

1. NDTV Rising Stars of Comedy -

http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/ndtv-prime-rising-stars-meets-their.html

Last year, I came across this unique concept of NDTV Prime #workhardplayhard where they divided the news channel into comedy series of shows after the prime time slots. Some of the standup comedians are really great and the other series in which news are told in a funny way was awesome to watch! Do check them out as they have some great episodes on their youtube channel. 

2. Product Review - Kinivo ZX-100 Portable Speaker - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-kinivo-zx-100-portable.html - Kinivo has been a brand which is closer to my heart as I am using their products a lot for my day-to-day usage. Their products are great and build quality is worth its value. This small speaker is very good and always stays with me offering great entertainment at all times. 

3. Launch Event - Disney On Ice @Coca Cola Dome Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/launch-event-disney-on-ice-coca-cola.html - Dinsey Africa doesn't need any introduction and Disney on Ice is a unique extravaganza that happens once every year. Last year show was my first time ever and this year also it was awesome. Do keep an eye on the next years show and book your tickets in the front rows. 

4. Product Review - Nokia Lumia 720 + Wireless Cover + Wireless Charger - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-nokia-lumia-720-wireless.html - I bought this phone and gifted it to my parents. My mom likes the phone and is using the same for sharing photographs and messages on whatsapp. It took time for her to learn the same but now she is happy with the same.

5. Product Review - Lowepro CompuDay Photo 150 - Messenger Bag - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/08/product-review-lowepro-compuday-photo.html - I was looking for a Camera bagpack but came across this unique messenger bag from Lowepro which can hold a camera on its side along with the laptop and tablet. I never took the bag to the field but now my dad has taken the same to Australia and I hope it will be useful to him on his 6 month long trip.

Along with all these posts, I did a lot of movie reviews and other posts also. Overall, it was a great month and I really enjoyed myself with the new camera NX300 Samsung that I had during that time.

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - April 2014 #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Product Review - Kinivo ZX-100 Portable Speaker

Hi Guys,

Not every day I come across a nice portable speaker which takes my minds towards enjoying music anywhere and everywhere. Kinivo ZX 100 is light weight, extremely portable mobile speakers with 3.5mm jack to give you loud and clear sound output. This device comes in various colours and with rechargeable battery this one gives continued music output for long hours.

The speakers design is compact and beautiful. Kinivo ZX100 comes with a port to connect with other similar speakers to create a surround sound.  ZX 100 battery gives you uninterrupted music playback for more than 3-4 hours depending on the volume level. The best part of this device is that 3.5mm jack is tied to the bottom of the device in a nice packable design, so no more losing of cables etc. The charging cable is different and the device can be charged using USB output of laptop and using power adapter also. The box doesn’t include any power charger or adapter. 

Kinivo ZX100 has unique technology called as Expansive Resonator Construction Design (ERCD) to give the best low frequency output. The resonator is designed into the speakers and you switch it on, we just need to twist the top portion of the device. This gives much more bass and sound effects to your music. This small device has got really loud volume outputs. None of my other devices produces sound in volume level like this one. Moreover this has 360 degrees sound output just like Sony NFC BTV5.

There are volume control button (Increase and Decrease) on the device around the four corners of the device. The other two corners buttons are for Power ON/OFF and to connect other speakers.

Kinivo ZX-100 has no Bluetooth built into it which customer demands from Kinivo. I hope the new version of the speakers will have Bluetooth built into these small speakers with no loss of design and compactness. To make these speakers Bluetooth, I connected Sony MW600 to Kinivo ZX-100 and connected wirelessly to my mobile/tablet making it work perfectly with this small setup.

Kinivo has packed a nice small carry pouch in the box to take care of your ZX-100 during non-use and travel. Almost every device which can take 3.5mm jack can work fine with these speakers making them score high. The company also gives 1 year warranty for the product.

Kinivo is an American company manufacturing a lot of bluetooth devices and other speakers to make our day to day living easy. Checkout my another review of Kinivo’s Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit BTC-450.

Product Review – Sony Wireless Speaker System – SRS-BTM8

Hi Guys,

Sony has been a front runner in launching a lot of latest and whole range of Wireless Speaker Systems for general multipurpose usage. SRS-BTM8 has the looks of a handbag and suddenly you fall in love with the gadget because of its portability. The device runs on mains and also gives the option to be used with 4 AA sized batteries making it really portable for pools, picnics and your outdoor camping.

 

SRS BTM8 is NFC enabled wireless speakers which connects to your NFC phone with just a touch at the handle. The speaker can also be used to attend to calls.

The front panel has got no buttons just the 2W+2W speakers to give a natural & powerful sound to whatever you stream via bluetooth. The sound is enough to rock a small room and loud enough to carry on a picnic or open surroundings.

The back of the device has a DC IN to connect it to the mains power supply. AUX IN is also on the back panel to attach it your tablets, laptops etc in case you don't want to use bluetooth. 

The top handle contains all the other control buttons - Volume up and down, call receive, pause & play, Bluetooth pairing, microphone to attend to calls and Power ON. 

The device has a battery slot at the bottom and can be used with 4 AA sized batteries for upto 20 hours of non-stop music and entertainment with good batteries. The overall build quality is good and plastic doesn't seems cheap. The device weights near 1 kg and can be easily carried due to it's handbag kind of design.

The device is available in DionWired at R700 and at flipkart at INR 5400/- and Amazon at INR 5300. 

The device is nice to buy if you are looking for portable speakers to attend to calls and listen to the music. This device will also look in your bedroom, living room & kitchen shelves along with any pool parties or picnics. Go for it.

Product Review - KINIVO BTC 450 - Bluetooth Hands-free Car Kit

Hi Guys, 

KINIVO is a multimedia accessories making USA based company which is really making it's way into the hearts of its users. I have always been in love with the bluetooth devices and headphones so I thought of taking Kinivo's BTC450 which is a handsfree car kit for a ride. This device is 2.1+ EDR bluetooth ready and can be connected to Apple, Android, Blackberry and Lumia products alike.

The product comes in a small packing and looks beautiful in it's round shape. The product can be easily connected to your mobile devices having bluetooth and the music and calls can then be streamed through your car's audio speakers. The bluetooth connection is easy to connect and the device is powered using the Cigarette adapter so no worries about the battery life etc. Also the adapter which is connected with the dial has the option to charge other USB devices. The aux-in plug needs to be connected to your Car's audio system and you are ready to rock and roll. 

The multifunctional dial which you see has buttons to skip to previous and next songs. The muti-functional button at the center of the dial can be used for various operations esp playing of the songs and accepting the call. It has a small microphone built into the dial.

The hands-free kit can be attached with the help of adhesive tapes which comes with the package to Car's dashboard anywhere you want to. Once connected to the dashboard, you just need to plug it in the cigarette charger to switch the device on ready to accept the incoming bluetooth streaming from your mobile or tablet.

I really loved this amazing KINIVO BTC450 product as earlier I was using Sony's MW600 (using Aux in cable bought separately) which has in internal rechargeable battery for my car which usually lasted for some hours and then I was out of music for quiet some time during my long drives.

The product comes with a 1 year warranty but I don't think anything will happen to device within that year if you take care of the cables and not accidentally pull then or cut them.

The market is flooded with a lot of original and fake products in this segment but some of the brands really stood out. Kinivo is making it's way to become a brand which will be recognized by music lovers for it's specialty products making music on the go available to accompany your life anywhere you want to. 

They company also makes various speakers ZX100 & BTX350, bluetooth headsets BTH220 and various other accessories for day to day use. 

I am looking forward to blog about Kinivo's ZX100 in it's various colourful avatars as soon as I receive the same. 

Cheers!!!

Product Review - Creative Wireless Speakers - D100

Hi Guys, 

Audio and video devices are the most sought after thing in this world. It can be either high end speaker systems or small in-ear headphones. The music has brought the world more closer and so is the gap between the mobile devices and sound using Bluetooth Boomboxes. They help you stream your favorite music via Bluetooth to your audio devices for everyone to enjoy. Everyday some or the other company brings some designed in Countries, assembled in China products to the market.

Creative has always been a front runner in terms of offering diverse electronics products and have been making audio devices since a long time. Creative Technologies is a Singapore based company and I still remember the time when they launched the Zen Music players long back in 2006. I received these great metallic designed n printed postcards in Singapore showcasing their various products. I also remember discussing with someone on the MP3 players on offer by Creative at that time. I came across Creative D100 Wireless Speakers at Pick n Pay, Woodmead for the first time. I really liked the pastel colors they were available in the store.

The device can be easily connected to your laptop or mobile phone or tablet using the Bluetooth connection. It comes with 5V DC Input charger with US socket and two pin sockets to power the device. The device is very light weight and can be easily carried for picnics, beaches or in the car etc.

It has only three buttons on the front. One is to pair the Bluetooth devices and other two are for volume up and down. Behind the cloth mesh are the two powerful speakers which will give great audio output enough for a small room listening pleasures. Though the cloth mesh can easily be torn if you don't take proper care of the same and it's not replaceable.

The back of the device has power on off button along with an AUX in socket and 5V DC IN plug. The best thing about this device is that you can power it using 4 AA size batteries and carry it around easily.

The sound produced by the device is very nice for the price range they come in. They are not BOSE or Harman Kardon but yeah for a small room they produce enough sound to dance and watch movies with good sound effects.

The batteries can be inserted at the bottom of the device and gives an audio output for 20-25 hours on Duracell Alkaline battery. I am still testing the same by inserting the brand new Duracell batteries in my device. It's working fine with normal 1 hours usage since a week. I think it will carry on till the end of month. Also in India, electricity can go anytime so these will really help me listen to my songs without electric power also and everyone can enjoy the same too.

I really like the Creative D100 and watch a lot of movies bypassing my laptop speakers using Aux in cable. I fully enjoyed watching Hobbit 2 using these speakers. The trapezoidal design of the device is really beautiful and Bluetooth connectivity is fast. Creative has launched various other Boomboxes after this one but I got this one in a reduced to go prices at Pick n Pay. 

Cheers!!!
