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

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)

shaun — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:14:19 +0000

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.
