Sennheiser to rock CES 2012 with IE 60 and IE 80 earphones

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 11:12 AM PST

Audio specialist Sennheiser is preparing themselves to roll out the IE 60 and IE 80 professional earphones at CES in January next year, so those of us who will be making a beeline for the largest consumer electronics show on earth might want to drop by and take a closer look at what Sennheiser will deliver then. These models were specially developed while taking advantage of Sennheiser’s vast experience in the professional music sector, where it is said that they will deliver an audio quality precision which is more or less unrivalled in the portable segment.

To put it in a nutshell, both the IE 60 and IE 80 ear-canal phones will target music enthusiasts who want nothing but the best possible audio quality. They will feature an even more innovative design after taking into consideration the positive feedback from Sennheiser’s customers, and to prove a point, the ear-canal phones will rely on dynamic transducers which will cover the whole frequency range with but a single system. This ensures that distortion of any sort will remain at a minimum, even at high sound pressure levels.

Also, the design and accompanying ear adaptor accessories allow for the best possible attenuation. The high end IE 80 model is capable of achieving a noise attenuation of up to 26 dB, where both earphones will see action for monitoring purposes, making it the ideal companion for MP3 players, portable media players and smartphones. As for the IE 60, this particular model will deliver high-resolution sound with excellent bass reproduction, being positively skewed towards modern pop and rock music by boasting impressive precision and high-resolution bass reproduction. Capable of passive noise attenuation of up to 20 dB, coupled with a frequency response of 10 to 18,000 Hz, the IE 60 will boast of luxurious brass accents which contrast the matte-black finish of the earphones. Thanks to a rugged housing and cabling, it is suitable for even the most demanding situations.

Back to the IE 80 – this earphones will include a unique sound tuning function, where the miniature rotating control lets you increase or reduce the bass response as required. This translates to a lifelike, detailed sound and features a frequency response of 10 to 20,000 Hz with a passive noise attenuation of up to 26dB. Any takers?

Wearable Neck Or Upper Back Heating Pad

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:09 AM PST

Brrrr! The chilly winter has certainly got to our bones, and we are not too thrilled with the ever increasing amounts of money that we need to fork out to keep ourselves warm when the mercury drops. Well, there are many ways to keep ourselves warm, and the $69.95 Wearable Neck Or Upper Back Heating Pad is definitely something worth having in store. Wearing this like a vest, it will be able to deliver targeted, soothing heat therapy straight to the neck and upper back, or if you prefer, to your middle back without inhibiting any of your movement.

The cordless heating pad will wrap itself comfortably around the arms and back, where its flexible, soft fabric will contour to the unique shape of your body to ensure direct contact with the affected areas. All you need to do is place this in a microwave for a couple of minutes, heat it up for 20 seconds and the interior silica beads will release soothing heat which improves circulation and helps loosen sore, tight muscles and joints. Instead of leaving milk and cookies for Santa, how about giving the old man of the North Pole this?

Phosphor World Time Sport Watch

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:30 AM PST

This is the World Time Sport from Phosphor watches, and it has an E INK display. I am assuming that this makes it unique, but one of the things that I think make it unique is that there are no buttons.

In the place of buttons are finger swipes that I found quite difficult to work. Seriously, I finally figured out that one is for switching of modes and another is for actually switching the numbers of date, time, and time zone. Seriously, it took me a while to figure it out, which is the only bad thing I have to say about the product.

The World Time Sport offers the ability to select from 24 time zones for one display mode, while optionally displaying the second time zone simultaneously. The dual time zone display can also be made to display the time of day, or both the date and time in either big or little numbers.

As for the watch itself, it is a pretty thin 9.3 mm. It also has a curved shape that looks ergonomically created for a wrist unlike other flat-back watches.

You should be able to get the World Time Sport Watch on the Phosphor watch site for about $99.95 in black, white, and orange.

Can’t get enough of Portal 2? Well, you might want to check out a technologically advanced tablet known as the iPad 2, and have it go along with the $29.99 Portal 2 Aperture iPad Sleeve to boot. Yes sir, this is an officially licensed Portal 2 product, and it will play nice with both the iPad and the iPad 2. Available in an orange color to match Chell’s jumpsuit, it makes perfect sense to protect your iPad or iPad 2 against any damage, since you will need to return it after testing – or touch wood, you meet your Maker due to an accident, at least keeping the Apple tablet safe from knocks and scratches makes perfect sense.

There are also black and white details thrown into the mix, including the Aperture Laboratories logo so that everyone around you would know what a huge fanboy you are. A rubberized grommet is also included so that you can snake your headphone cord through in order to listen to your favorite MP3s while working. Seems to be the perfect gift for an iPad 2 owner this Christmas, no?

BlueSeed’s Floating City is made for business

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 06:15 AM PST

When I first saw this, I thought that someone was trying to build some sort of floating country. Personally, I think we need more of them before the Earth gets into Soylent Green territory.

The purpose of this boat isn’t to alleviate overpopulation, but to help businesses. This boat is under development by a startup company known as Blueseed, and its purpose is to house businesses off the coast of California (near Silicon Valley, to be exact). The boat would be docked 12 miles southwest of San Francisco Bay, in international waters.

It can house about 1,000 people, who can start their businesses there, and then, when the time is right, they can move their businesses right into Silicon Valley. There is a news report after the jump if you want to hear more about it.

By the way, this giant boat will be accessible by ferry and helicopter. It looks like it has all the comforts of home, including some serious greenery.

Blueseed is currently looking for investors for this boat, and they intend to start construction on it sometime next year. I wonder how long it will actually take to actually build this beautiful boat, and how much it would cost to live on it?
