Jarre AeroSystem One gets a Lalique crystal facelift, we go hands-on

We saw the original AeroSystem One saunter into our lives a couple of month’s back, and now Jarre Technologies has collaborated with crystal house Lalique to give it a makeover. The partnership sees the original iPod dock covered in smooth glass and cut metal, which certainly sets it apart from pretty much any other dock we’ve ever seen. The dock connector sits at the top, and being inset, isn’t suitable for iPads, but if you’re getting one of these, we imagine you don’t want to ruin the aesthetic by perching a slate on top anyway. There is, however, a USB connection meaning this isn’t an iDevice only affair. If you’ve got the estimated £10,000 (or about ,840) lying around, it’ll have to keep burning that hole in your pocket until some time in March. We managed to get a quick hands — and ears — on with the only two units in the UK, but couldn’t explore much beyond how it looked in-store, bar an awkward moment when we placed an iPhone on it, only to discover it set to full volume. Check the gallery below for a closer look, or hit the PR after the break for more info.

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.

Spiders’ Hundreds of Fine Hairs Are Hundreds of Ears

Posted by on Wednesday, 14 December, 2011

Tiny hunting spiders can not only watch your every move, but they can feel those moves, and that of their prey, through the air. But how they do it, exactly, has puzzled researchers for decades.

Tivoli Audio announces PAL+ and Model 10+ clock radios, we go ears-on

Posted by on Thursday, 1 September, 2011
If those clock radios up there look familiar, it’s because their maker, Tivoli Audio, has been spitting out pretty much the same thing for the past 11 years. Their innards, at least, have changed with the times, and here at IFA the company is showing two models — the portable PAL+ and the more stationary Model 10+ — both of which hinge on support for digital radio. They’re each compatible with DAB, DAB+ and DMB, in addition to good ‘ol FM, have dual alarms and support five station presets for each band. The main difference is that the PAL+ is weather-resistant and battery-powered, rated to last three and a half hours unplugged. At 1.85 pounds it’s still heavy enough that we’d never throw it in a carry-on, but in a world where it cost less or money were no object we might take it to the beach. You could, if you were so inclined, use the included remote to navigate the UI, though there’s also a scroll wheel up top — a neat idea, we thought, until you realize pushing that button in the center to cycle through each and every menu gets annoying fast. As for the audio quality, the speakers are powerful enough that their sound could rise above the din of the show floor, but we could still hear some tinniness coming through. The pair are available now, fetching 9 (£299) and 9 (£399), respectively, which means HD radio or no, these are, still, glorified alarm clocks.
