Sony unveils new headphones and portable speakers within its EXTRA BASS range at CES

-


Sony is a veritable veteran on the audio scene. The Japanese giant was busy developing high-end acoustic gear long before mobile phones were even a thing. So, every new release is understandably met with a fair bit of excitement from most enthusiasts.




Sony added a total of four headphones models and two wireless speakers to its EXTRA BASS line. It is good to see that the company is still adapting to modern consumer needs, since the new gear is, and we quote: "made for today’s heavy-hitting bass lines and dropping beats".


A quick rundown, roughly arranged by MSRP starts with the MDR-XB950N1. The flagship wireless model (the one depicted in the picture) is rated for up to 22 hours of playback, has a mic on board and active noise cancellation. The MDR-XB950B1 is basically the same product, minus the noise reduction and with a shorter 18 hour battery life.

Moving on to the wired models - the MDR-XB550AP is an on-ear model, with in-line mic and a wide selection of color options. And last, but not least, the MDR-XB510AS are earbuds, complete with water resistance and geared towards sports use.


Moving on to the speakers. First are the SRS-XB40, SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB20 models. They all bear the same features and classic rectangular design, complete with customizable color lights, for a club-like effect. The Bluetooth speakers are also water-resistant, so a splash here and there should be fine and can be chained wirelessly together to increase volume. The key difference between the three models is size and battery. The top of the line 40 model measures 4 inches by 11 inches and then the other two bump that down to 3 inches by 9 inches and 2.5-inches by 8 inches, respectively.


Then there is the cylindrical SRS-XB10. It measures 3 by 3.5 inches, has a convenient strap for attachment and boasts 16 hours of battery life. Bluetooth and NFC are also part of the mix, just like on the SRS-XB40 line.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.

Nintendo announces 2DS XL for $150

-
Image
Nintendo has dropped a new handheld console, the 2DS XL. The 2DS XL is big step up from the toast-shaped 2DS and is essentially the 3DS XL but without the 3D display. That's really all there is to be said about this. The 2DS XL includes the faster processor, C-stick and NFC reader for Amiibos from the 3DS XL but lacks the 3D display and has a more compact and lighter design. The 2DS XL will still be compatible with all the 3DS games, just that you can't play them in 3D.
