Jan 02, 2013 09:00 am | Alison Keep Those Shoes On and Look Good Go take a look in your closet. I'll bet there are a few pairs of lace up shoes that still have the laces tied. When we buy a new pair of sneakers we always have the best intentions of fully untying and re-tying them. But somewhere along the way, usually when rushing around we end up just kicking them off and slipping them back on without tying. Brookstone wants to help encourage tie-free shoe use with HICKIES elastic lacing system. Opposing eyelets on a shoe are connected with these stretchy devices. Connect as far as you choose, slip your foot in and HICKIES elastic properties allow your foot to comfortably move while the shoe goes with it even during high impact activities. They literally turn any lace up shoe into a slip on. What makes them unique, however, is the array of colors so you can select one that meets your color coordinating needs. Match to your shoes or go crazy and clash. Your choice.  The ‘stretchiness’ also means one size fits all. For $19.99, a pack includes 14 HICKIES in 1 of 16 color combinations plus 2 extra HICKIES in a surprise color – plenty to set up an average pair of shoes. Unsure how it will look? Download their app and snap a photo of a virtual pair on your current shoes or get instruction on how to put them on.  So go ahead and keep the laziness up, but look stylish and keep the feet in the shoes with HICKIES.

I am willing to bet "stylish", "high-performance", maybe "pricey." B&O has been making some of the most reliable high-end a/v products for just under 90 years. Never one to get caught behind the times, they launched their B&O PLAY line as stand-alone products designed to fit into our more mobile a/v world. The newest addition to the line proves to make the B&O family proud. The BeoPlay A9 offers quality sound and sophisticated design. Built for wireless or wired connectivity use wi-fi or Ethernet and Apple Airplay or DLNA or go old school and use the mini jack or phono connector. Since control happens on your music device there presents no need for buttons and bells. Simply wave your hand over the top sensor to control volume.  A9 design is obviously key to its appeal. Let it stand on its 3 screw-in legs or mount is on the wall. And though it comes in white, optional covers in 5 colors help it fit your décor. Performance wise, do not fret. The bass reflex design paired with the woofer, mids and tweeters will fill your life with soothing sounds. Looks and performance together have won the A9 some prestigious honors too: 2013 iF product design and CES Innovations Awards. If this look fits your life then treat yourself. The A9 is available for £1699 or $2,699 so save your pounds, dollars or what not. But for those with the right environment the A9 seems a perfect solution.   [ Great Looks, Great Sound copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Jan 02, 2013 05:30 am | Edwin Samsung introduces new premium monitors Samsung is a confirmed powerhouse in the world of consumer electronics, and they have certainly come a long way from the early days, where legend has it that their mobile phones (yes, those days with monochrome displays on phones) were said to have been made from recycled plastic, hence lacking the kind of solid quality or feel that Nokias carried. Well, one would feel proud to own Samsung products at home now, and this could be where you look towards purchasing a new monitor (or two) after seeing what Samsung has in store for the coming CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. Basically, there will be the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor and the Series 7 SC750 Touch Monitor on display (among others, of course, but we will just take a look at these two today). First of all, let us take a closer look at the innovative Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor which will arrive fresh out of the box optimized for Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system. In fact, Samsung's Series 7 Touch (SC770) holds the honor of being Samsung's first multi-touch display that has been specially optimized for Microsoft's latest operating system version, where it will deliver support for up to 10 points of simultaneous multi-touch, allowing users to drag, rotate or select objects viewed on the monitor using nothing but their fingers alone. Definitely not the kind of monitor that you would want to use right after you have eaten a greasy pizza (or a bag of chips) with your fingers, no? The SC770 will be equipped with a flexible, ergonomic stand that can conveniently adjust itself to your preferences, as it delivers a 60-degree tilt for comfortable use of the touch display. As for the Samsung Series 7 (SC750) monitor, it will come in a slim, ergonomic design which is more than capable of a 90-degree pivot to deliver an enhanced convenience to users. It has also been optimized for surfing the web, and it does not matter if you want to view the documents in either landscape and portrait modes, it works equally well. Thanks to its sleek stand, it is capable of precisely positioning the screen at a comfortable eye-level without having to have a support fixture, while boasting a cylinder-shaped metal stand that accentuates the beauty of the slim monitor. No idea on pricing, but both the Series 7 SC750 monitor and the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor will arrive worldwide before Q2 2013.

There is a new and improved SmartShare feature that allows users to mirror or transfer content from smart devices to LG Smart TVs using a host of connectivity options, where among them include WiDi and Miracast. I guess there is no excuse now not to hook up something to your TV, no? The 2013 range will also enhance inter-device sharing further by implementing Tag On, where this feature is said to be able to connect a couple of devices immediately for speedy media sharing. In order to make use of Tag On, all you need to do is hold a smartphone or other NFC-enabled device against the NFC sticker on a Cinema 3D Smart TV, and voila! Magic happens, or so that is what people from two centuries ago would think. Not only that, the 2013 range will also support LG Cloud, where LG Cloud enables folks to remotely stream high-quality content from just about anywhere they are at that point in time.

This is something that TV manufacturers have addressed in the past, where select models are able to automatically regulate the volume level so that you don't jump out from your skin. The thing is, if you do not have such a TV, you are stuck with changing the volume frequently, and sometimes, speech of characters in the TV show do not exactly come with the clearest articulation. I guess this is where the $199.95 Voice Clarifying TV Speaker comes in handy, where this wireless speaker is said to enhance your TV viewing experience as it boosts the sound of dialog. This is made possible to an advanced microchip within which amplifies human speech frequencies, bringing them above background noise in order to make spoken words clear and audible. It will be different from lesser analog models which merely make all sounds louder, as this superior digital speaker is able to amplify voice pitch above other sounds, making sure that every spoken word remains easier to discern than usual. There is an infrared transmitter that is attached to the TV’s audio ports where it will send its signal to the speaker, that comes with a 360° receiving dome for signal reception regardless of how you position it in the room. The speaker itself will be accompanied by its own volume control, and there is also a headphone jack just in case you want to get some private listening in thanks to the included earbuds.
