SONY PS-HX500 - Record Player
/Today I'm looking at the PS HX500 Hi Res Audio Turntable. Which Sony say has been refined and designed to combine School Vinyl with a digital interface.
Apparently there has been a resurgence of vinly perhaps it's because 'these sound better'(the Rock) maybe it's that crackle that adds a little je nais se quois to your music (la Haine) either Sony have gone out there to cater for this niche.
So let's talk a little about well...how plain this looks. There really is nothing particularly that jumps out at you and says this is a premium bit of kit. Other than the Hi Res sticker on the front. I do like Sony products but I have to say if that sticker is the only thing that makes this look expensive what else does it offer that we can't see.
Well this Turntable can plug into to your PC or Mac via a USB cable and has the ability to capture your favourite Vinyl music in all its former glory in an option of file formats all the way up to DSD. Which is the same quality as super audio CD for those of you old enough to remember those things.
However if you think your getting away without installing at least some Sony software your having a bubble bath ain't ya. You will need Sony's software the good news is that it will be available on Mac as well as PC.
So if your looking for a record player and when I say record I mean Vinyl. Which has been perfectly balanced with shock absorbers and can been be perfectly aligned and tweaked, and that can record as in tape... As in record...which is like right click save as... Or you could just use it as a vinyl Turntable and plug it into an amp... and listen hear quick... if you enjoyed this video hit the like button, Subscribe and you will be one of the finest subscribers known to mankind!
SONY H.EAR G - SRS-HG1 - Wireless Speaker
/Today I'm looking at Sony's new portable wireless Hi Res Audio speaker. What is Hi Res Audio I hear you say. One of my first videos was actually about that. It's basically 24bit sound as opposed to 16bit. Any way let's look at the key features and come back to that.
This new speaker looks very much like Sony's old portable speakers. It's not exactly what you would call an out of the box design, and I say that because well it just looks like a box...but anyway.
Sony say H.ear go delivers extra base and has been designed with dance music in mind. And utilizes the S Master HX digital amplifier to deliver a rich sound via its 2 drivers and central passive radiator. With the power of actually Sony haven't specified this yet. But they say it could be equal to a knockout punch from....
Now listen here Sony say this the world's smallest Hi Res Audio portable speaker which it most probably is. Although there is just one question. Can you stream full Hi Res Audio to it? The answer is sort of. It has Sony's on LDAC which might also be a Klingon swear word. LDAC allows you to stream near Hi Res Audio quality transferring data at up to 990kbps via Bluetooth. Thanks to its WiFi capabilities the H.ear speakers can be added to your sony multi-room set up using the Sony Songpal app.
So if looking for a speaker for when your on the go. Which delivers a wider frequency audio than any of its competitors and comes in multiple colours, and supports multi room and LDAC streaming, and the power to last up to 12hrs. Then you might want to go and check out the H.ear go from sony
I got just one question can you get Hi Res Audio sound quality from single mini audio jack?

WhatGear Word on the Street - Tech Leaks of 2016
Apple Store to stock Devialet Phantom!
/Have you heard it? Its AMAZING news the Phantom will coming to an APPLE Store near you soon!
If you have been following WhatGear for some time you will know that I am a big fan of the Devialet. In particular the space aged speaker that goes by the name of the PHANTOM. It is truly unique and I could go into a detailed spiel about it...but I won't because here is a video I made earlier...
DEVIALET PHANTOM REVIEW
Devialet enjoyed this video so much so that I actually got invited to the exclusive press event in Shoreditch. Where we got exclusive access to meet developers and designers from Devialet. It was great experience and you know what... I think WhatGear might have some of the worlds only video content from that day. You might see pics elsewhere but nothing like this. I also got to meet the CEO of the company who didn't seem to like my Napoleon joke. I just wish I had prepared a few more questions.
E-Ink Shoes - This to me is WOW
/ShiftWear Trainers are a new startup creating wearable tech with style in mind. This is such a good idea in my opinion.
You know when you buy a pair of shoes or trainers and find your self standing next to someone with the same shoes or trainers. If you have these shoes, you can just pull out you phone load up the app and change the design to something else.
So this means that if your an awesome artist you can have your art or even Marvel or DC fan art (known as fart) on your shoes in a blink of an eye! If you wanted to be really cheeky you could put a NIKE swoosh on the side and if someone complains you change it and be like "...what you talking about?" That to me is WOW! I would buy these if the price is reasonable.

Nokia VR Camera is $60,000
/The OZO will have 8 camera, 8 Microphones, a 2K by 2K picture output with 45Min record time using 500GB internal Storage. All of that equals a hefty $60,000 price tag. Yes thats right its not cheap. The question is... is there such a demand that people would pay that much for the OZO?
