New Denon Headphones designed for Four Different Lifestyles / Use Cases
Denon’s new lifestyle-oriented lineup offers headphones designed for four different “lifestyles” or use cases. Denon’s new aptly named line of Music Maniac™ headphones is designed for the traditional audiophile with a focus on acoustic purity and audio quality. An additional lifestyle, which Denon calls Urban Raver™, features models targeted to the younger music enthusiast that listens to contemporary genres of music with a heavy emphasis on bass. Denon Globe Cruiser™ headphones are designed specifically with the needs of the frequent traveler in mind, while Denon Exercise Freak™ headphones are designed for the fitness enthusiast. All new line additions will be available this summer.
Denon Cocoon Speaker Docks
Denon’s Cocoon Family looks good, feels great and the sound is outstanding. This season, Denon introduces the Cocoon Home (DSD500) and Cocoon Portable (DSD300) to the market, two speaker docks that not only offer the ease of listening to music, but also re-defines modern music streaming through AirPlay. Although not the first in the market for speaker docks, Denon surely sets a true reference among similar products with Cocoon Family’s unique design. Adding its full set of clever features, intuitive control and the brand’s renowned sound quality, Denon has turned a speaker into a full modern media system solution. The Cocoon Family brings music to life and invites everybody to be part of the future.
Denon CEOL
With this single unit, you can enjoy music the way you like, from your iPhone or iPod touch, from the online music service Last.fm(*1) and Internet radio stations, or from your own CDs. You can connect your iPhone or iPod touch via the dock on top of the unit, or you can use AirPlay to play music wirelessly while you hold the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad in your hand. If you are with friends, they can play music through your New CEOL from their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, too. It’s a great way to have fun. You can listen to Internet radio programs as BGM, or you can put on a favorite CD and become totally immersed in the music. The main aim of the New CEOL is to give you a completely enjoyable space to live in.
Marantz Consolette: the first ever audiophile-grade speaker dock.
The sound of the Consolette is extraordinary and really outstanding: With the Consolette, you are not only able to listen to your favorite music in a perfected sound, but you can further hear the unaltered passion, that the artists put into the music, like the musicians themselves. Because you see music through the eyes of the musician, you can really feel the blood, sweat and tears each piece of music stems from. You can’t get any closer to music than this.
Boston Acoustics A 26 Two-Way 6-1/2-Inch Bookshelf Speaker
Delivering premium sound in a compact design, the Boston Acoustics A 26 Two-Way 6-1/2-Inch Bookshelf Speaker makes an ideal addition to home theater or music systems. This powerful bookshelf speaker features internal bracing and a reinforcement disc for enhanced sound quality. A Kortec soft dome tweeter offers crisp, high frequencies, while a ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofer delivers more bass response from less amplifier power.
Besides the above, consumers can expect many more product lines from each brand to enhance their audio experience.
