Dernièrement, nous vous avons présenté en long, en large, et en profondeur un casque allemand, le GHS-1 d’AKG. Aujourd’hui, nous allons à nouveau parler d’un casque allemand. Le fabricant de celui-ci n’a pas non plus de leçon à recevoir, puisqu'il s’agit de Beyerdynamic. Lui aussi existe depuis la nuit des temps ou pas loin, 1924. En gros, il a plus d’une vie d’expérience. Nous nous devons de vous avertir, c’est bien la moindre des choses. Le casque testé aujourd’hui, le MMX300, est proche, s’il n’est pas, de la perfection. Le fait de vous donner cette information de suite risque de couper net la lecture, toutefois, étant donné les faits, il est préférable d’être honnête avec vous de façon à ce que vous ne vous demandiez pas si nous n’avons pas des actions chez ce fabricant ! Non, nous n’en avons pas, ce qui est bien dommage d’ailleurs. Partons pour un tour dans le vrai, le pur son.

Der deutsche Audiospezialist Beyerdynamic ist bekannt für sehr gute, aber auch unspektakuläre Kopfhörer. Der eine oder andere würde jetzt wahrscheinlich zu langweilig schreien, doch weniger ist bekannter Maßen mehr. Doch mit dem Custom One Pro hat Beyerdynamic nun einen neuen Kopfhörer vorgestellt, welcher viele interessante neue Features mit sich bringt. So lässt er sich optisch und auch klanglich den eigenenden Bedürfnissen anpassen. Doch funktionieren die angekündigten Funktionen in der Praxis auch wirklich so gut wie in der Theorie? Dies und viele weitere Sachen klären wir im nachfolgenden Testbericht.

KitGuru invest plenty of time into analysing and reviewing headphones, but they are generally ‘gaming grade’ products, priced between £30 and £100. But what if you have a lot more cash on hand and want a set of headphones that will reveal every single detail from your precious vinyl, compact discs or high resolution audio files?

The Behringer Guitar Link is positioned to be an inexpensive recording solution for guitar, but can be used for bass and microphone as well.

Bluetooth audio streaming devices are a common sight amongst many homes and even in cars where stereos handle hands free connections through the technology. Now in its fourth version, the capabilities and quality of Bluetooth has improved drastically and rather than the somewhat grainy on poor quality audio that we used to experience, the standards have improved drastically with high quality audio now the standard and connectivity much easier.
More recently there has been a newer technology being incorporated in to the likes of mobile phones, making wireless streaming, sharing and connections so much easier than before. NFC or Near-Field-Communications is a wireless standard that allows mobile phones to establish connections with other NFC enabled devices, simply by bringing it within close proximity of the device (around a few centimetres depending on the device). NFC itself is not used to stream audio to the StreamPort as it has a very low transmission range and its top speed is 424kbps. The integration of NFC is more to make the task of connecting a mobile device to the StreamPort much more simplified and quick with the process done purely by sitting the NFC enabled phone on top of the StreamPort to establish the Bluetooth connection without any further interaction required.
We’ve taken a look at one of Bayan Audio’s products before, namely the Bayan 7 iPod Speaker Dock and it won us over with its great looks and great audio that had definition and clarity right through the range, which for us at eTeknix is a key factor – we love clear sound. I’m not a massive audiophile, however I like my sound to be good with definition clarity and volume at both the high and low ends of the scale. These factors may not play the same major part in a product of this nature as it does not reproduce the audio itself, leaving that to a third party system, but more importantly decoding the audio signal that it receives over Bluetooth to give a good source feed to the playback system.

Who is Bayan Audio? Back in 2011, an UK-based company started that had the sole intent of creating high quality products that produce phenomenal sound out of natural materials, that you can take with you wherever you may go. You may recognize them from a previous report we did a few weeks back, when we took a look at the Bayan Audio Soundbook Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. Today, we have the privilege of taking a bigger and better look at the Bayan Audio Soundbook X3, the big brother to the previously reported Soundbook. One thing to keep in mind before we dig into the X3, is that we are looking at a wireless bluetooth speaker. More often then not, you ‘get what you pay for’ when it comes to wireless bluetooth speakers. The cheaper wireless speakers are typically comprised of a lower grade material, which will further inhibit the performance of the speaker, but the opposite also remains true. What really impresses us is when a company creates a product that is not only of high quality, but doesn’t break your bank as well.

I am not a fan of Bluetooth speakers primarily because sound reproduction just didn’t represent what music was supposed to sound like. For this reason, I haven’t reviewed one before today. It is definitely not for lack of opportunity as these are the most popular gadgets seen at any tech event and there are 7-8 of them floating around our office at any given time. I have never been one to write a report on hardware without merit however, so for each my communication return to the companies discussed my concerns and an offer for us to return the product. My first official review of a BT speaker occurs in this report which, in itself, says something for the Bayan Audio Soundbook BT Speaker.
