NEW GADGETS

 

Tonefone Weighted iPhone 5/5S CASE

The world’s heaviest iPhone 5/5s case turns your phone into an exercise accessory by increasing its weight by up to 1.5kg — allowing you to work out wherever you are. It’s simple: you get a text, you get fitter; your mum calls you, you get fitter; you check Facebook and you get fitter. Even when you order a takeaway you get fitter. The dumbbell case will help you get the most toned arms in the office. Made of 100% British steel covered in soft, durable and grippable rubber, ToneFone comes in white, with gold and space grey due to be released in June. Priced at £22.90 (approximately 1,200 baht), ToneFone is available online at desirablebody.co.uk.

BOWERS & WILKINS PC3 ON-EAR HEADPHONES

Bowers & Wilkins have delivered an excellent balance of price, design, quality and sound performance with the PC3. Removable, allowing easy-cleaning or replacement, the PC3 ear pads are made from a heat-sensitive memory-foam that gently moulds to the shape of your ears, which becomes increasingly more comfortable while also enhancing sound quality. Made for iPad, iPod and iPhone, this includes an in-line mic with track control so you can take calls and control your music. Discover a depth to your music that you never knew existed, with this ultralight, portable set of folding headphones designed to fit easily into your life. Stylish yet understated, they guarantee the wearer will stand out from the crowd. PC3 is now available at .life for 12,800 baht.

JABRA FREEWAY IN-CAR SPEAKERPHONE

With three speakers coupled with Virtual Surround Sound and background noise cancellation, Jabra Freeway makes a telephone conversation feel like talking to a passenger. You can also make/accept/reject/redial/end calls by giving simple, verbal instructions. Freeway can also inform the driver who’s calling and the battery status of the speakerphone, while streaming music and pairing with two mobile devices at the same time. Freeway turns itself on and off with the help of an inbuilt motion sensor. Freeway also comes with a free, one-year subscription to Voice Assist; an app used with any mobile phone or IP-connected device to send and respond to e-mails and text messages, and post updates to social networking sites, using verbal commands. Freeway retails now at .life for 3,790 baht.

MARSHALL STANMORE SPEAKERS

Small in size, but not subtle in sound, the Stanmore is a compact active stereo speaker that yields clean and precise sound, even at high levels. With its script logo, black vinyl casing and vintage-inspired fret grille cloth, the Stanmore is an instant throwback to the golden days of rock ‘n’ roll. And its analogue interaction knobs give you custom control of your music too. Perfect fit for those smaller places you need to fill with big sound; just hook it up wirelessly via Bluetooth, use the RCA input to plug in your record player, or simply connect the included coil cord to your phone using the 3.5mm auxiliary input. Also compatible with devices with optical output like APPLE TV, the Stanmore retails now at Urban Stuff for 14,900 baht.

MOTO 360 WATCH

Designed by Motorola, powered by Android Wear, Moto 360 has reimagined the wristwatch for the future. It’s a watch that tells you more than just the time; it keeps you up to date without distracting you, and tells you what you need to know before you know you need it through subtle alerts and notifications. With just a twist of the wrist you can see who’s emailing or calling, what time your next meeting is or a friend’s latest social post. By just saying “OK Google”, you can ask questions or schedule appointments, send texts, set alarms or take notes as it responds to your voice. Moto 360 will be available in a variety of styles globally this summer.
