CM Storm Sirus

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:52:40 -0400

The CM Storm Sirus is a 5.1 surround gaming headset designed for both gaming and listening to audio, and is made with swappable leatherette over-ear cups providing comfort for extended listening periods. Each side contains 4 separate audio drivers which can be configured either on the computer with the included software or with the included Tactical Mixing Console or control 'puck' as it is shaped for on the fly adjustments of front, rear, center, bass, and master channels. There can be found a large volume knob on top, mute, microphone, and navigation buttons and the surround settings and buttons are accompanied by ambient backlit LED's. A uni-directional microphone with background noise cancellation extends from the left ear cup, which is further shielded from headphone noise due to the over-ear cup design and the inclusion of both breathable foam ear cups and sealed leatherette noise canceling cups. When the mic is muted from the control puck, an LED light illuminates the button to inform you that it is muted, making it easier to switch between talk and listening modes in a dark room. Connecting to a computer requires two USB ports, although for basic audio connection without the use of the puck you can plug in the 3.5mm mini jacks for use of both the headset and microphone.

Boston Acoustics A 26

Fri, 27 May 2011 16:53:52 -0400

The A 26 is the top of the line bookshelf speaker in Boston Acoustics' A series with 6 1/2" woofers making it the largest and most powerful in this line. All other features remain unchanged from the smaller A 25 and A 23 versions including the Boston Acoustics Kortec 1" soft dome tweeter common to all and the gold plated 5-way binding posts making them compatible with any type of speaker wire including pins, spade connections, dual and single banana plugs and bare wire. This speaker also has the lowest frequency response of 51Hz owing to the larger woofers, while the highest frequency it is capable of reproducing is the same in all three in this series at 25kHz. These are designed for listening to stereo recordings as a pair, or you can add them to a multichannel home theater system as front or side channels. Internally they employ DCD or 'Deep Channel Design' along with internal bracing of the bass and high chambers for improved audio imaging and bass response, and the magnetic grille covers further reduce audio interference. High contrast black gloss finish is also scratch resistant, and textured leatherette panels have been added for extra appeal. The smallerA 23 and A 25 models are otherwise identical and may be an alternative if you plan to integrate with a home theater that already has a subwoofer and center channel.

Reebok ATR Talkin' Crazy

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:07:33 -0400

The Reebok ATR Talkin' Crazy (or Talkin' Krazy) are a mid-priced men's basketball shoe offered by Reebok. Reebok claims that "your competition won't be talkin' when they see you in this DMX Foam cushioned b-ball shoe". Whether that is true or not, the DMX foam, removable PU sockliner and IMEVA midsole will at least keep your feet from talkin' about not being comfortable. The herringbone outsole added traction, while the mid-cut design helps add stability and support. However, the most innovative part of this shoe is the ability to write a message on your shoe for one game, and erase it and write a new message for the next to take trash talk to a whole new level (dry erase pen included). The Reebok ATR Talkin' Crazy (or Krazy) is primarily white for ample writing room, and comes with various accent colors such as red, grey, white, green and blue.

Atomic D2 Race GS

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:44:57 -0500

The D2 Race GS is a pair of racing skis from Atomic’s double deck (D2) lineup. The skis are physically split into two separate layers, with the lower deck designed for adaption and the upper deck designed for control. Between the individual decks lies an elastomer layer which reacts to pressure. When the skis are stressed, the elastomer stiffens, therefore increasing their stability and thus giving the rider better overall control on the slopes. This technology allows for better control at low speeds, and can assist with acceleration out of turns. The cores are constructed of wood from tip to tail, and include 2 layers of titanium, plus a “Power core” cap. The Atomic D2 Race GS has a MSRP of $999.00.

The Babolat AeroPro Drive is a premier tennis racquet built for professionals at the 4.5+ level. It was originally released in 2004 and then later awarded TENNIS Magazine’s Editor’s Choice in the 2005 Spring Gear Guide.

Like its original, the AeroPro Drive utilizes an Aero-designed shaft with a Pure Drive head to output serious pop/spin potential suitable to power players seeking spin, pace, and accuracy. Included also is Babolat’s patented Woofer, which increases frame/string interaction during ball strike, therefore adding 25% more contact time between the ball and strings AND allowing for a greater generation of power, control, and spin. Two famous professional players who use the Babolat AeroPro Drive include Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki.

Head YouTek Radical MP

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:02:47 -0400

The Head YouTek Radical MP is a premier tennis racquet recommended for professional players at the 4.0+ level—but can also be used by intermediate to advanced juniors/adults as well. More specifically, it’s built for handling both topspin rippers and slice/dice players. Its primary component is Head’s new YouTek technology, which includes d3o adaptive materials that change behavior under dynamic loading or impact; Teflon for less friction and greater power; and Aramid bumpers. The d30 materials — dubbed ‘smart materials’ — host meta-morphing molecules that remain soft during slow hits, but lock up tight on harder, more powerful strokes. It essentially ‘senses your needs’ and then adapts accordingly. Notable professionals who use the YouTek Radical MP include Marin Cilic, Amelie Mauresmo, and Patty Schnyder.

sWaP Nova

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:13:20 -0500

The Nova is one of the world's smallest smart phones and was released in fall 2010 by UK watch phone manufacturer sWaP. It is more like a key chain phone that you can also hang around your neck, although unlike watch phones that include a Bluetooth headset, it is made to hold to your ear like a regular cell phone. Similarly it sports a color touch screen and mini stylus that stows in the side, and has a retractable USB connector, Micro SD card and SIM card slot. It does not have a camera however, but considering it's size it makes up for it in features that are common to other sWaP phones. Multiple audio and video file formats are supported which can be transfered using the USB connection, and you can listen to your music using the included stereo earphones or via bluetooth headset. A 2GB Micro SD card is included, although it can accept cards up to 8GB. Faux leather protective case is also included along with a leather key chain loop and leather neck lanyard.

The XVTPRO720SV is a LED HDTV from Vizio announced at CES 2010 in Las Vegas. As part of the XVT Pro series, this 72-inch television is compatible with Sensio 3D technology, meaning home theater viewers can utilize XpanD shutter-style 3D glasses to make the most of their HD viewing experience. Unlike other 3D television sets, this model from Vizio can display 3D content at a full 1080p resolution by quickly alternating left-eye/right-eye images to the glasses over a wireless Bluetooth connection. The refresh rate is set at 480Hz, allowing for fast action movies or sports to be displayed blur-free. The screen itself uses a LED backlight, meaning brightness is more evenly distributed and black levels gain greater depth. 5 HDMI inputs have been incorporated, plus an optional wireless base station is available to eliminate cable clutter. Built-in internet services such as Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, Rhaposdy and Yahoo TV Widgets are also supported over the built in wireless-N connection.

KEF Muon

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 17:56:54 -0500

The Muon are a pair of extremely high end floor standing speakers created by KEF in tandem with industrial designer Ross Lovegrove. Only 100 were made, and standing 7 feet tall at 253 pounds each they are almost as big as they are expensive! They can handle amplifiers of up to 400W, while reproducing frequencies between 25Hz and 60kHz with a maximum output of 118dB. The shape is made possible by super-forming 6mm thick sheets of heated aluminum, while the inside has internal bracing and critical damping for acoustic treatment of the cabinet. A whopping 6 10" woofers are in each tower, with two facing the rear for low frequency directivity control. One 10" low-midrange driver rests just below center, and just above that is a 6.5" KEF Uni-Q mid-high range driver array with 1" high frequency tweeter nestled in the middle of the speaker. The speaker orientation is 4-way, meaning two channels of audio per unit, and it is a closed-box design using KEF's ACE sound absorption. This is a porous charcoal material similar to a water filter that takes in and releases air, allowing drivers in sealed cabinets to move more efficiently at high volumes. Although they have a very avant-guard look, a balance was reached between the designer's vision and what would be sonically acceptable.

Features

Design: Four-way closed box floorstanding loudspeaker ACE enclosure
Drive units: 6 x 250mm (10in.) LF, 1 x 250mm (10in.) LMF, 1 x 165mm (6.5in.) Uni-Q MF including 25mm (1in.) HF
Crossover Frequencies: 120Hz, 300Hz, 2.3kHz
Sensitivity(2.83 V/1m): 90dB

Marantz PM-15S2

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:28:10 -0400

The Marantz PM-15S2 is a stereo integrated amplifier released in mid-2009. The manufacturer bills this product as having reference-level performance, meaning users looking for accurate audio playback are likely to be interested in the PM-15S2.

The power supply uses “choke” input, a feature that removes unwanted noise from the AC line that could lead to interference. The transformer is of the double-shielded toroidal variety, which is engineered to provide accurate voltages to each section of circuits. Marantz also features a feedback phono stage used in the preamplifier. This is best suited for LP playback, allowing for accurate, smooth tonal reproduction. Switchable “pre out” and “power in” jacks are also integrated, allowing for multi-channel stereo support. An LCD display graces the front of the unit, while an aluminum-topped remote control allows listeners to control volume and other settings from a distance.

ZTE Racer

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:52:15 -0400

The ZTE Racer is a budget-friendly, Android 2.1 touchscreen smartphone released by Three UK Wireless for HSDPA 7.2Mbps networks. It features a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor, a 2.8” resistive QVGA touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, 2GB of microSD memory, and a built-in GPS chip. Critics especially like the Racer because it packs so many features—versatile connectivity, a quality camera, a stylish design, and a long-lasting battery—into such an “inexpensive” package. However, there have been complaints. For instance, critics were immediately turned off by the Racer’s poor 352x288 camcorder resolution, not to mention its inaccurate touch accuracy, its lack of social networking integration, its buggy Windows Live messenger application, and a very basic document editor. One highlight, though, is the incorporation of entirely free Skype-to-Skype calls within the UK.

Head MicroGel Prestige Mid

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:06:02 -0400

The Head MicroGel Prestige Mid is a premier tennis racquet recommended for professional players at the 5.0+ level. It was inspired by the Prestige Classic 600 — in regards to weight, balance, and overall specifications — but has been redone with more feel for a solid control, mass for power and penetration, and head-light balance for greater racquet head speed. It’s essentially built for big hitters who seek an emphasis on control. Its also outfitted with MicroGel technology, which includes silicone-based materials combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet hand. This causes the strings to deform and compress when impacted, allowing the impact load to be uniformly distributed—thereby creating a ‘rock-solid’ feel.

TaylorMade R9 460 Driver

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:21:02 -0400

The TaylorMade R9 460 Driver is a 460cc, adjustable driver released in June of 2009 as a step up from the R9 (430cc). It features TaylorMade Flight Control Technology (FCT) for changing the face angle, loft, and lie to promote approximately 40 yards of side-to-side trajectory change. And in regards to the R9, the R 460 in fact launches—on average—1 degree higher with 300/400 rpm less spin. This is due to its deeper-back CG position, which makes it easier to launch the ball both high and long. Included also in this model is Inverted Cone Technology, which combines super-high MOI and an easy-launching CG position to max out on off-center hits. Note that the head is neutral-biased and does NOT have the Moveable Weight Technology (MWT) system.

Additional Information

“R9 460 targets those who prefer a simpler, easier-to-use big stick than the fully loaded R9 driver.”
