Bose® MIE2i

Monseigneur Kevin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 01:24:10 +0000

As a big fan of Bose®’s earphones, I was already super satisfied with my current mobile in-ear headphones. Bose® is now introducing a newer version of it.

The MIE2i finally gets the volume support, that’s what I’ve been missing on my current ones but nonetheless it’s still good.

It also has a slightly different design for improved stability. The MIE2i will now fit better in the bowl of your ear and ensures you a comfortable fit for hours of listening. This newer version also offers an enhanced acoustic design, the music should sound smoother, more natural and instruments have better detail.

I’m in, you should too!

Porsche 997 Speedster

Monseigneur Alexander — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:49:12 +0000

When I first heard of the new Porsche Sport Classic I became instant fan of this fusion of old meets new. Now, Porsche comes with this model in a open version: the Porsche 997 Speedster. We already saw this one in Paris, in the color ‘Pure Blue’. Now, the first pics of this awesome model in Carrara White.

The Speedster has modified bumpers and sideskirts and the front window has decreased by 60 mm. The car’s back is 44 mm wider than a standard version of the 997. Just like the Porsche GTS, the Speedster got 408 BHP, linked to a 7-gear PDK gearbox. This limited edition rides on Fuchs rims, that we also saw on the Sport Classic.

Price: € 258,000. I love it.

Being a big fan of HTC and owning one, I’m always on the lookout for the newest and the best. This is the first to be released ‘Multi OS’ smartphone.

It supports both Android and Windows Phone 7. Switching between OS is also among the possibilities. This new HTC HDD concept phone doesn’t have a release date yet, but I am definitely getting one when it’s released. Some of the more interesting specs:

Multi OS support (Android & Windows Phone 7)

1,5 GHZ Snapdragon Processor
4.8 inch Amoled screen
4G network support

and much more…

Extreme audio

Monseigneur Alexander — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:12:51 +0000

Philips and O’Neill teamed up to develop a new range of high performance headphones. O’Neill is known for its heavy duty materials in clothing, used for (wind)surfing and snowboarding. Now, the best of both worlds are combined in a new series of ultra-durable performance headphones. We heard about these a couple of weeks ago, through our American and British network.

Now, finally, they are here, their new headphones called ‘The Stretch’ are new and innovating. These new headphones are called ‘The Stretch’ because of the materials used: ultra durable and impact and crack resistant. Tested on the O’Neill teamriders Jeremy Jones, Mark Mathews and Ane Enderud… And on animals, at least, that’s what the slogan was…

Last friday, October 15th, the new headphone was launched at the Westergas factory in Amsterdam. At 8 PM, ‘Deeper’ (a movie about pro snowboarder Jeremy Jones) started. Jeremy is known for his ultra tricky free riding and stunt snowboarding. After watching this movie (with the sound heard through the new Philips x O’Neill The Stretch) is one thing clear: even a hill of 80 degrees is no problem for Jeremy. Another thing that was made clear is that these headphones are awesome!

The headphones feature a very clear, deep and pure sound. I was surprised about how good the quality of these headphones is. Another big plus is the big size of the headphones: very warm and comfy for the demanding snowboarder. The headphones are boxed very nicely.

After the launch there was a private party held in another building of the Westergas. A successful launch of what I think is a very successful product. Definitely a must have for any snowboarder, or for everyone who likes very good sound and nice warm ears.
