At a time when LED lightbulbs and built-in speakers are rapidly developing, it only seems like a natural fit that the two would converge eventually. Sony is doing just that. The electronics company has announced a new product that wraps illumination and audio into one small package.

You can also use the on-board controls to play music or take calls.
Samsung’s smart audio brand, Level, is readying a pair of new Bluetooth devices for this summer. Following in the footsteps of the previously released and highly rated over-ear models, the upcoming Samsung Level On wireless headphones offer much of the same but in a smaller, on-ear form factor. The company’s new Bluetooth adapter will offer wireless audio streaming to your car, speaker system, traditional wired headphones and more.
You’ll find the announcement video and more details below:
It features AIPower Technology that intelligently detects the connected devices to maximize both compatibility and charging speed. This power bank can charge the iPhone 6 at least 7 times, and a full charge to an iPad Air. Also, it can be recharged in 10 hours. It received 4.6/5 star reviews from Amazon shoppers.
This car Bluetooth kit provides “a complete solution for in-vehicle Bluetooth wireless music and hands-free calling.” It automatically powers on and connects to the last paired device when you start your car. It pairs with up to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously, so you never have to miss a call again. It’s rated with 4/5 stars and great reviews.
We also found the Aukey Portable Bluetooth 3.0 Audio Receiver Wireless Music Streaming Adapter for only $12.99 (Reg. $16.99) after the code: 85F8EVH2 is used. Also, the Aukey 12000mAh Portable Power Bank for only $17.99 (Reg. $24.99) after the code 2MECQR8Z is entered.
And right now the argument that AirPlay is ‘overpriced’ is no longer valid — Harman Kardon is offering the JBL SoundFly Air Wi-Fi AirPlay Speaker for $200, but coupon code 39SDFLY drops your final price down to $39 with free shipping. That’s in-line with some budget Bluetooth options and the best price we’ve seen. Today’s deal is only $10 more than the best refurbished price we’ve seen.
Keep in mind that it doesn’t have a built-in battery. Instead, it gets plugged directly into a wall outlet, which may be more convenient based on your usage since it never has to be recharged and has a permanent home. Other features and tech specs include:
Next is the Lumsing Bluetooth 4.0 speaker that is splash-proof, shock-proof, and dust-proof for $23.99. Using the same code from above (FDWGTRFF) knocks off $4 making this speaker only $19.99 Prime shipped as well. This speaker is small and easy to carry and is well-suited for both indoor enjoyment and also outdoors.
The M4 is easily one of the best low cost speakers out there. It sounds more like a $50-100 speaker from a big brand but adds water resistance and ruggedness. I dropped mine a few times without even getting a scratch. They are like the superball of Bluetooth speakers. The speakerphone works well (no noise canceling sadly) and has a dedicated phone button. Volume and power buttons also on top with AUX port and Micro USB charging on the side. NFC makes pairing with Android a snap but isn’t difficult with straight Bluetooth 4 on Apple products – even works with Apple Watch! No brainer if you are looking for an inexpensive rugged Bluetooth speaker this summer. Also makes a great gift. (I like Orange!)

Most of the time, headphones serve as a necessary inconvenience. You need them to listen to your music, favorite podcasts, and to keep whatever it is you choose to listen to in your ears instead of broadcast out loud. But there’s always a knot to be undone and a kink to be worked out. There’s…

Tile came out competitively priced at $25 per tracker, but the price hasn’t really budged since its release. You could opt to buy a multi-pack to get a lower per tracker price, but that’s not helpful if you’re just looking to try it out.

We haven’t seen much in the way of major innovation when it comes to surveillance cameras, with Dropcam and Foscam pretty well dominating the space in recent years.

They proudly proclaim that this is the “world’s first” camera design to lean on a cellular connection instead of WiFi.
It’s chock full of features, head below for full details, pricing and availability.

Technology has created a much more accessible world, with nearly everything right at our fingertips.

While it seems like every week our living room technology evolves, with new curved and 4K UHDTVs, the remote that controls these new devices seems to have hit a wall. Harmony has long dominated the upper-echelon universal remote world, but its solutions haven’t always been the most intuitive.

Not only is the selfie not going away, but thanks to the selfie stick, the trend is going to the next level.
Take a stroll around nearly any major city and you’re bound to see individuals and groups of people taking their pictures with iPhones affixed to poles. Just last weekend, I was at one of the biggest tourist spots in the world, Walt Disney World, and I couldn’t walk a few feet without bumping into one.
The idea of the selfie stick is to hold an iPhone further than your arms can reach to grab the perfect selfie angle. It’s also a good way to capture more scenery and people in each picture without having to hand your iPhone to a random person nearby. Aside from a few ridiculous exceptions, most of these monopods extend to around 3.5 feet.
You’ll find that the majority of selfie sticks are made by no-name companies out of China, so you’ll come across a lot of cheap options. Nicer models include a Bluetooth remote, while less expensive models connect via the headphone jack. One of these options is necessary to snap the shutter for the photo when you can’t touch the iPhone,
Here are the best selfie stick options for iPhone 6/Plus, and iPhone 5/5s/5c …
