When it comes to audio-related electronic devices, there is a seemingly endless range of gadgets to choose from, each offering better sound than ever before. Here are some top options that audiophiles and those who crave pure music and audio clarity are going to love getting their hands on!
A leading name in the audio industry, Sennheiser offers its MOMENTUM True Wireless, Bluetooth earbuds which reproduce amazing sounds on the go. It comes with fingertip touch control which adds to the convenience as well as features like "transparent hearing" so you are aware of your surroundings. Intelligent voice control is included as is Bluetooth 5.0 and an integrated internal equaliser. Amongst the other highlights which will prove to be useful are the smart assistants; as soon as you remove the earbuds the music is paused and when you put them back on it resumes!
Are you someone who likes to explore the great outdoors, but also wants to listen to your favourite music while doing so? The ultra-portable JBL Clip 3 is your answer and what's more, it's hardy and waterproof (IPX7) too! This handy Bluetooth speaker has carabiner clips which can be easily attached to your belt, backpack or clothing and echo and noise-cancelling features which make it a great speakerphone too. It may be small in size, but you can expect some big sound along with playtime that lasts for around 10 hours. Available at select shops as well as online stores in Sri Lanka, this gadget is worth including on your next trip.
Those looking for wireless headphones that offer superior sound and awesome battery life can't go wrong with Beats Studio 3 Wireless. They come with Pure Adaptive Noise Cancelling (Pure ANC) which ensures you can enjoy music without outside disturbance. Battery life is 22 hours on a single charge, while if you turn off Pure ANC it goes up to 40 hours of play! Via Bluetooth, you can also effortlessly switch between iCloud-registered devices that have iOS 10 or iOS 11. Even if you don't reside near an official retailer of such Beats by Dre products, web stores such as Urban.lk offer an easy way to order the original headphones and have them delivered too.
If you desire the freedom to work out and listen to music at the same time, then check out the Rowkin Mini Bluetooth 4.1 Sport In-Ear; billed as the smallest wireless Bluetooth earbud in the world, this truly mini device has a built-in mic too and fits snugly into your ear, while delivering crystal sound clarity. It also features bi-directional cVc noise reduction so you won't be distracted by outside sounds be it listening to music or when answering calls. Another highlight is the novel portable charging system with a magnetic plug for effortless charging.
This is the ideal option for those who not only have a sizeable collection of vinyl records but want to digitise them too. The Ion Audio Classic LP is an audio turntable with USB output for PC or MAC so you can easily convert your favourite tracks be they 78, 45 or 33 1/3 RPM records! It features a belt-driven platter, fixed-weight tonearm, ceramic cartridge and more to offer the music depth and clarity you crave via your audio receiver. Of course, the benefit of connecting your computer via USB and making use of the provided software to convert tracks into digital audio files is a real bonus.
