Antec wants to rockus with its new soundscience 2.1 ’3D’ speakers

Yesterday it was Corsair, today it's the turn of Antec to step into the world of PC audio components. Best known for building cases and power supplies, the company's aiming to make a splash in this unexplored pool with its all-new soundscience brand and first product, the rockus 3D|2.1 speakers. We're guessing capital letters weren't high on the priority list here, with Antec instead opting to focus on delivering "immersive 3D soundscapes," the supposed aural equivalent of three-dimensional visuals. Beyond the marketing exaggerations, you'll find anodized aluminum satellite speakers, both digital and analog input options, and that cute little control pod for adjusting volume and toggling between stereo and Antec's proprietary 3Dsst mode. This rockus 2.1 set certainly looks stylish enough, but the asking price of $250 makes us think we'll probably have to make do without one this fall.

Panasonic has announced its latest HX40 slim and lightweight headphones. The HX40 will be available this December in six colors (black, blue, green, white, black with pink, and white with pink). Panasonic isn't just positioning these headphones as a listening tool, rather they're also touted as being a fashion statement, and they do look attractive. The HX40 features a Flat Fold Design that allows the headphones to be folded completely flat, allowing it to be stored in your luggage without taking up too much space. In terms of sound quality, the speakers use a unique Hybrid Diaphragm, made from a soft material on the rim, while the inner part uses a harder material, a combination which results in a wide frequency range without distortion.

Philips partners with O’Neill to release headphones

The good people at Philips and O'Neill have come together to develop a bunch of new durable headphones that have been tested on the toughest O’Neill team riders including Matthews, Enderud and Jones. These super durable headphones will target those who live their live on the extreme edge, and will be hitting the IFA 2010 showfloor with a bang. The Stretch as seen above will be the toughest of the lot, where it has been inspired by the heavy-duty materials of wetsuits, hence being impact as well as crack-resistant. Made out of TR55LX, this material boasts a surface hardness that is six-times greater than the polycarbonate which sees action in many other headphones. Descriptions of the other models are available in the extended post.

Pioneer Hi-Fi X-CM30 iPod dock does more than audio playback

Another day, another iPod dock - or so it seems. The Pioneer Hi-Fi X-CM30 does have one drawback which we think could be pretty major - it supports only iPods, which means those who tote iPhones won't be able to enjoy the Pioneer experience. No idea on why Pioneer decided to gimp the compact Hi-Fi X-CM30 this way, but all's said and done already. With this device, you can transport your videos and photos from the iPod over to the TV, while playing just about any format available which is stored on a CD or USB flash drive. If you ever get bored, there is the integrated FM tuner to get you going, pumping out what DJs are talking about via its 24W output (2x12W) speakers. Expect to see this model hit Japan this September for a yet undisclosed price point.
