Mad Catz/Tritton’s Primer gaming headset arriving this week, we go ears-on

Posted by on Wednesday, 11 January, 2012

With these gamer cans ready to bask in their full Xbox-certified glory in stores this week, we took the chance to hit up Tritton’s stand here at CES to try on its Primer. Despite the call-center employee appearance [above], the earphones are relatively comfortable, although the head band seemed a bit tight. While the Primer offers a 33 foot reception radius, we found its limits of receiving audio were closer to 40 feet. The mic arm is flexible, with the adjustable headband affording a certain degree of customization. Despite the 0 price tag, Tritton fans looking for something more subtle than recent efforts will be happy — just don’t walk around a conference hall kitted out in it.

Kohler’s Numi $6,400 high-tech toilet does most of the dirty work for you (video)

Posted by on Saturday, 16 April, 2011

We’ve seen some pretty fancy cans in our time, but perhaps none as tricked out as Kohler’s latest ,400 john. The Numi — don’t ask us how they got the name — does just about everything for you, aside from the stuff that, well, only you can do. Looking something akin to a fancy pop-top waste bin, Numi comes complete with a self-opening and closing lid so you never have to touch the toilet seat; a self-cleaning bidet with adjustable controls for temperature and water pressure; heating elements to keep your toes and tush toasty; an illuminated panel for nighttime rendezvous; a built-in speaker system that connects to a remote docking station to ensure only you know exactly what you’re doing in there; and a deodorizing element that sucks air from the bowl through a charcoal filter. Of course, no connected appliance would be complete without a touchscreen, and the Numi’s no exception; it has a touch panel remote that you can use to set to your specifications. Now, that’s what we call a porcelain throne. Check out the ridiculously lavish promo video after the break.

The Astro A30 headset is for the rich or insane

Posted by on Tuesday, 16 March, 2010


How much are you willing to spend on a so-called portable gaming headset? $50? $100? How about $150? Anyone? What if I told you that it would also work with your computer as well as your iPhone, PSP, and Xbox Live account? Still no one? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

The Astro A30 is marketed to portable gamers. The thought here is that these folks probably want the very best audio on the go and won’t mind touting around large cans with their small PSPgo. I get that.

But they cost a whooping $149, which is expensive for a standard issue gaming headset that would never leave your desk. These, however, come with all sorts of cables and adapters so they’ll work on every platform. I guess it’s up to you and your bank account if you get this set, although I would probably wait until some reviews appear.
