CES 2014: Audio Bits & Bites



These have to be the biggest headphones I have ever seen. And yes they worked. At the Turtle Beach booth. 



CES always has a lot of speakers, and this was the coolest looking ones I saw this year.



Here is something unique - it looks like a very glittery clutch purse, but in fact when you open it, it is portable speakers for your iPod. The company is Stelle, and this unit actually sounded half-decent. Retails for under $400. The only drawback - it is heavy, which means it has good speakers, but it will get heavy if you drag it around all day. You can pick it up at Sak's Fifth Avenue, amongst other places. They also have a very good sounding stand-alone speaker, called the Pillar, which also has very good sound quality.
