Awesome Audio

Bose finally has a pair of wireless active noise-cancelling headphones. The QC 35 has the same noise-cancelling tech as the beloved QC 25, but can connect to devices via Bluetooth or NFC as well as with its cable. It lasts up to 20h per charge on wireless mode.

This compact metal chassis analog amp not only looks awesome, it sounds great too. The Gemtune APPJ PA1501A offers Class A amplification using a pair of 6AD10 tubes, and is the perfect complement to your turntable and bookshelf speakers. In silver or black finishes.

A limited edition of what is arguably the perfect speaker. The Klipschorn’s vaunted folded horn design uses the surrounding walls and floor to create a life-like range of low frequencies. This edition features an enhanced horn and exclusive walnut veneer, grille and nameplate.

A record player that streams to Sonos and Airplay devices as well as over Bluetooth. It can even turn your Spotify account into a radio channel by streaming music through the service. The catch? It has no wired output options.

The iOS version of the awesome OS X audio enhancing app. Boom for iOS lets you boost your device’s volume and tweak its sound with equalizer and headphone presets. It also has a surround sound effect. It won’t work with Apple Music and other DRM-protected songs though.

Department Chicago’s beautiful mid-century-style stereo console. It has a pair of speakers, each with a 100W amp, a 6″ driver and a 1″ tweeter. You can connect to it via Bluetooth or RCA. It also comes with removable record dividers and an adjustable shelf.

Erato’s diminutive Apollo 7 Bluetooth earphones weigh just 4g each and have a waterproof coating and an omnidirectional microphone so you can make calls and use Siri or Google Now. They last up to 4h per charge and come with a charging case.

Everything you want from a pair of Bluetooth headphones wrapped in Marshall’s classic cabinet style. The Major II Bluetooth lasts up 30h per charge and has a built-in microphone as well as a playback and volume knob and can share music via its 3.5mm jack.

The Vita is a beautiful all-in-one music player. It has an 11.6″ touchscreen and can receive and send music over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, Bluetooth, RCA, AirPlay and Google Cast. It also has SPDIF and AES/EBU outputs and reads DSD, DXD and PCM files.

Another outstanding wireless sound system from German audiophile brand Raumfeld. The sleek One M uses five drivers and a 120w Class-D amp to fill your kitchen, bedroom, den, or office with clean, full-range sound via Wi-Fi streaming, USB drives, or line inputs.

Place the Sounddeck under your big screen, and connect a single cable for instant theater quality sound. Six full-range drivers, two subs, and a 280w Class-D amp push out impressive volume and expansive acoustic imaging. Also supports wireless music streaming.

The Ekko Hub is a home audio streaming solution. It comes with two or four wireless receivers that each have their own volume and mute controls, and a base station with 3.5mm, RCA and optical inputs. It also works with DLNA and Apple AirPlay.

An extremely versatile pair of powered monitors. The R-15PM has RCA, optical, USB, 3.5mm and Bluetooth inputs. Its 1″ tweeter and 5.25″ woofer are powered by a 50W amp, while the 13″x 7″x 8″ cases each have a rear-firing port for added bass.

Probably the loudest portable speaker ever. SoundBoks has four drivers – two woofers and two tweeters – each boosted by a 42W digital amplifier. Its DSP allows it to blast up to a scary 119dB, yet its swappable battery lasts between 8h to 100h per charge. And yes, it goes to 11.

New variants of the increasingly useful Amazon Echo. The Tap is a portable stereo speaker that lets you use Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant on the go. The Echo Dot is a more affordable version of the Echo that needs to be connected to speakers to play music.

Normal’s new wireless headphones feature custom made soft silicone earplugs and adjustable arms for a secure yet comfortable fit. They also have an integrated USB charging plug. Available with a silicone or a leather band. Sadly, Nelly had nothing to do with this.
