The Y Geek Squad tries out the latest music gadgets to ensure your sounds stay, well, sound.
1) Bose Knows Best
Yes, there are better and cheaper products out there, but Bose’s QC35 sets the bar higher than none other in the business. Their new headphone ups the noise cancellation game further than last year, but also takes things a step further by adding Google Assistant to the mix. This means you can change the music, play or pause, increase the volume, and even ask questions without the need for removing the phone from your pocket. All of this is encompassed in a sleek metal casing with a durable rubber cushion. Get your from LuLu Electronics for RO115.
2) Stream it
Truth be told, our experiences with Yamaha’s music products have been disappointing. But that isn’t going to stop us from ogling their latest stereo receiver – the Yamaha R-S202BL. Not only does it come with all the goodness of traditional receivers (including converting traditional audio into crisp stereo sounds) but also added features such as Bluetooth and a swanky app to control the device using your smartphone. Additionally, with the phono pre-amp built in, you can pump several more watts of audio through your speakers or even use a turntable to play your music. Buy this from amazon.com for RO67.
3) Back to the future
Alright, so this one’s a bit of a shtick – a gimmick more than anything else. But if you, like us were intrigued by the “woo-woo-woo” sounds made by flying saucers in those early 1980s flicks, then you’re in luck; the Moog EWSTD019 Etherwave Theremin Standard is the toy for you. The device – which was originally conceived in 1928 – is quirky: all you need to do is wave your hands around the antennas of the device and it’ll send impulses to produce the electronic sound that we’ve grown to know and love. You can buy them for much less online but we’d rather have this one by renowned gadget maker Moog from amazon.com for RO150.
4) Old School
Bookshelf speakers have been out of the music scene for several decades now – but they’re gradually making a comeback. And believe it or not, JBL is leading the fight for this vintage gadget in 2018 with its JBL L100. While the brand’s latest take on the device manages to retain the retro guise of the classic speaker, it comes with modern elements, too – like a titanium shell and a one-inch (2.4cm) done tweeter that’s coupled with a waveguide, for instance. It also offers an acoustic lens to improve the dispersion of higher frequency audio, a 12-inch (30cm) cast-frame to deliver supreme bass without negating any of the acoustical clarity, and a mid- and high-frequency L-pad accentuators to maintain the crisp highs and lows. At RO1,540 it’s a bit pricey. Get it from jblsynthesis.com.
