Bang & Olufsen shows off gorgeous new $299 AirPlay, Chromecast & Bluetooth M3 speaker

Buy Now

Bang & Olufsen has today taken the wraps off its newest multi-room speaker, the M3. Most notably, this model sports AirPlay, Bluetooth and Chromecast compatibility. With a $299 MSRP, it’s a less-expensive option than the previously-released M5 but still pricey in comparison to alternatives on the market. B&O is known for its exceptional audio and design, but its price points often turn the average consumer away. The M3 hopes to compete with Sonos, which is the industry-standard in this category.

StarkBoard arrives on Indiegogo as a sub-$500 electric skateboard

When it comes to electric skateboards, there are certainly a few brands that come to mind first. Boosted, OneWheel and Evolve are known as some of the top-names in the industry but with $1,000+ price tags, most are outside of the impulse purchase range for the average consumer. A new electric skateboard just hit Indiegogo for half the price of some of these bigger names, with many of the same features.

Stark Mobility’s StarkBoard is set to retail for $549 (but is available for under $500 on Indiegogo) and comes with many intriguing features, most notably it doesn’t depend on a handheld remote during use. With iOS/Android connectivity and a IP62 rating, this electric board has the chance to finally break open the low-price market.

Samsung TVs now ship with integrated Sling TV service for the first time

Just ahead of the holiday shopping season, Sling TV has announced that it will become the first live and on-demand over-the-top service to be fully integrated into Samsung TVs. This is a major coup for the streaming service that has seen increased competition from the likes of Hulu, DirecTV and others in recent years. By integrating directly into Samsung’s ecosystem, this gives Sling an inherent advantage over the competition by having its services available right out of the box.

The Rylo Camera offers cinematic 360-degree video supported by a powerful iOS app

GoPro recently released its new Fusion 360-degree camera which features unique software paired with consumer-friendly hardware. In the keynote address, GoPro detailed how its camera could actively track a subject as it moved throughout the camera’s field of view. Essentially, it hoped to empower videographers by offering high-level results from a simple setup. Fast forward to today, and a new camera from Rylo claims to accomplish many of the same features in a smaller device.

The Rylo Camera easily fits within your hand and packs dual 4K cameras that come to life with features when paired with the iOS app. Simply put, this new device wants to simplify the content creation process from start-to-finish. Oh, and it costs $200 less than GoPro’s alternative.
