Panasonic SC-SP100 IPod Speaker Dock

Michael C — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 23:25:17 +0000

We just received a cool iPod speaker dock from Panasonic called the SC-SP100. It’s a great way to listen to your music anywhere you want because of the unique, compact design.

More than just an iPod or iPhone speaker system, the SC-SP100 features a USB connection for use as an iPod dock for charging and syncing to your computer. This means you can update your iPod with your latest favorite music while it’s docked and no more searching for USB cables.

With sound performance in mind for the SC-SP100 iPod speaker system Panasonic included a built-in subwoofer with dual passive radiators to deliver deep bass response from a compact design so it’s still small enough to fit on your desk or take with you on a trip.

If you’re looking for a good way to listen to your iPod without the headphones check out the Panasonic SC-SP100 ……and it will even work with your iPhone!

Add some Boom with a Klipsh RW-10D Powered Subwoofer

Michael C — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:08:25 +0000

If you are in the market for a powered subwoofer? OneCall has a great deal on the Klipsch RW-10D 10-inch Reference Series Subwoofer. The RW-10d features a 10-inch front firing driver powered by a 260-watt RMS amplifier and will give you the bass response you need to add some punch to most any home theater system.

Of course this isn’t your run of the mill subwoofer. As a part of the Klipsch Reference Series this subwoofer is packed with a number of cool features and technologies that make sure it sounds great, and is easy to use.

To start with, all woofers are not the same. The Cerametallic woofer Klipsch uses is more rigid than a paper cone driver while still being light and responsive to signal from the amplifier. Klipsch also incorporates their exclusive corner port technology making the port tube as long as possible without bending which reduces the “chuffing” or port noise from air rushing out of the subwoofer cabinet. All this serves to reduce distortion and deliver tight accurate bass whether you’re watching TV, listening to music or rattling the rafters watching your favorite movie on your home theater system.

Talk about easy to use; the DCS (Digitally Controlled Subwoofer) user interface places all the controls right on top of the subwoofer. That means it’s a cinch to setup and you can make adjustments to the volume, EQ mode, crossover settings and more quickly and easily. Imagine being able to adjust your subwoofer’s performance to an optimized output for Music or Movies with the push of a button. Don’t worry; there’s even a keypad lock function that means if you have little people in the house who like to push buttons your settings are safe.

Deal Alert – Denon In-ear Headphones

Michael C — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:10:34 +0000

I was looking for some inexpensive ear bud headphones to use when I workout. I decided to try with the Denon AH-C360S, I figured they are a Denon product so they had to be good and at the price we have them for, I couldn’t go wrong.

I have to say I was amazed at the quality and clarity of these headphones. I’ve spent a lot of money on ear buds in the past and the AH-C360S’s are right up there with the best of them. Usually with the less expensive headphones they are not very clear and not a great fit and worst of all, they aren’t loud enough. With the AH-C360S headphones none of this is true. They give you several different sized earbud tips to custom fit your ear for a comfortable fit. The sound quality is as clear as any headphones I’ve had and best of all they are loud… Plus, you even get a cool little case to store them in when you’re not using them!

If you’re looking for an upgrade from the headphones that came with your iPod or just need a good pair of headphones at a great price, I strongly recommend checking out the Denon AH-C360S Silver In-ear Headphones.

Fuji FinePix REAL 3D W3 Camera

Michael C — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 18:14:36 +0000

The new Fuji camera just arrived and I am impressed by some of its amazing features. It’s the FinePix REAL 3D W3 Digital Camera and what it can do will blow you away. With two lenses and two 10-megapixel CCD image sensors you can shoot high-resolution 3D photos and movies. All you need to do is frame your subject, press the shutter release button and the scene is captured in a high-quality 3D with stereo audio sound.

There are two methods of shooting a 3D picture. The first is called Individual Shutter 3D Shooting, with this method you can take two shots of the same subject from different positions, and the camera automatically merges and saves the images as a single enhanced 3D photo. After the first image is taken, it appears as a transparent overlay on the monitor to help you align and frame the second shot. Secondly, there is the Interval 3D Shooting method where with a single press of the button, the camera automatically takes successive shots. The camera adjusts parallax in 3D Auto mode for an optimal sense of depth. The Manual mode allows operation of the Parallax Control lever on the back of the camera to fine-tune the sense of depth and alignment of the images on the 3.5-inch wide screen 3D LCD Monitor.

The Fuji FinePix REAL 3D W3 camera is not only a 3D camera, you can switch to standard 2D mode and use it as a regular point-and-shoot digital camera. As a matter of fact, with two lenses it’s almost like having two cameras. With the Advanced 2D shooting modes you can take two pictures simultaneously, one in color, a second in black and white, or one image zoomed in with the telephoto zoom and a the same picture at wide angle. I also liked the large 3.5-inch LCD screen for previewing my photos and that I could hook it up to my 3D HDTV using an HDMI cable. Combining these new features along with the traditional intelligent flash and automatic optical settings you’ll find a whole new level of convenience in shooting digital pictures.
