Ergonomic Aviation Headset For Sennheiser


I know I’m not alone when I say I want my pilot on my next flight to be as comfortable, rested, and confident as possible. Understanding the importance of clear speech, hearing, and comfort of a pilot’s communication headset, BMW Group DesignworksUSA created this customizable system that fuses ergonomics, audio functionality, and a streamlined interface for a comfortable, relaxed, and safe flying experience.
New features include a sliding control on the headband to find the optimum balance between comfort and a “tight” fit. Cushions are particularly soft around the temple area of sunglasses, keeping ambient noise out even more effectively. The special ear cup and inclined axis of the headset further improve passive noise attenuation.

2Duo Concept Camera

The 2Duo concept camera features Dual Lens and Dual LCDs so that you can get maximum perfection out of your photography. Self-portraits or 3-D kinda pics, this camera helps you do all sorts of things to make you trigger-happy. The 2-way hinge structure rotates at 90-degree angle and 360-degree angle, allowing you to take some awesome photos with unbelievable angle-shots! Given the number of apps and tricks that I am using to 
perfect ordinary shots, this kinda camera just fires my imagination and creativity.

Cooler Master goes all out with its first CM Storm series gaming headset


Cooler Master has extended its CM Storm branding into the world of gaming headsets today with the launch of the CM Storm Sirus 5.1 headset.

While being Cooler Master's first shot at a gaming headset, they look to have gone all out when running over the feature set, promising 'true' 5.1 channel surround sound with its eight internal speakers (four on each side), uni-directional mic, gold-plated USB connectors and a cool piece of supporting software included with it that CM calls the "Tactical Mixing Console", allowing players individual adjustment for each speaker and better overall control of the sound delivery, along with customized profiles being possible that better suit individual game titles.


The two main 40mm speakers promise a deep powerful bass along with six 30mm drivers that provide crisp, directional audio that make up the 5.1 experience. The specs state a frequency response of 10Hz - 20,000Hz and an impedance of 32 Ohms.

Meanwhile, the earpads are interchangeable with the inclusion of leatherette and breathable waved earpads, with the former being better for noise cancellation and the latter for a better 'oxygenated' experience.

To give you an idea on price, the Sirus will first reach European shelves mid August at an RRP of €119.99.

Apacer AL830 HD Media Player adds snap on modular storage

Apacer was showing its range of memory and SSDs, but one really cool thing we spotted was their AL830 HD media player.

The AL830 is by no means a new product, but what we saw at this year's Computex was a near finished design that adds modular storage to the device. An optional matching device can simply be attached by SATA like connectors. This shouldn't come as too much as a surprise since Apacer is primarily a storage outfit and added additional storage in this fashion makes perfect logical sense.
 
On the back of the media player to get a fair selection of connectors including YPbPr output, AV output, optical audio output, HDMI output, LAN, USB 2.0 input and of course AC power input.
The AL820 looks rather capable and we look forward to getting in a sample for review soon. I bet Anthony cannot wait to put it through its paces.

Hyper Touch Guitar – No strings Attached


There are all kinds of cool looking guitars out there, but most of them are still using ropes stretched to make a sound. How old-fashioned! The Guitar Play brings Hyper guitar design in the 21st century by replacing the strings and the neck with a touch screen, giving an unprecedented level of flexibility.

The design lets you change the settings of the guitar with the touch of a button, so you can go six-string and 12 string, or change tunings instantly. No more multi-neck guitars that make you look like a 1970 progressive rock band reject.
Provided incomplete information still leaves many questions as it works as a MIDI controller, or can be used as a single instrument. I guess I’ll find those details if it ever gets closer to production.
