Jun 10, 2022

Marshall has unveiled a trio of powerful Homeline wireless speakers with a new sound connection technology. Marshall Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III wireless speakers offer significant improvements from their predecessors. The three new Marshall wireless speakers will go on sale on June 23.

All three speakers offer Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, an improved soundstage, and a design that factored fully eco-consciousness. While Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III bear external semblance to their predecessors, they come with significant upgrades. They are equipped with tweeters and waveguides that deliver a more expansive sound experience. They sport some of the best technologies that could make them challenge the best Bluetooth speakers in the market.

The innovative Placement Compensation technology makes the new speakers stand out. With this technology, the speakers optimize the EQ profile by measuring for nearby reflective surfaces which could affect the sound. It then automatically adjusts the equalization as appropriate. Apart from Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, the new Marshall speakers can be connected via a 3.5mm audio jack. The speakers also have a built-in Dynamic Loudness feature that provides a more balanced output.

The Marshall Bluetooth speaker lineup is manufactured from about 70% recycled plastic and fully vegan material. This is a huge departure from the massive reliance on PVC materials in older models. The Acton II comes with a 30W amplifier for the woofer and two 15W amps for the tweeters. The Stanmore III is slightly larger than the Anton III and features a 50W amp for its woofer. The Marshall Woburn III is the pick of the pack. It comes with HDMI connectivity and is pricier than the rest at $579. The Acton III is priced at $279 while the Stanmore III costs $379.

The models will all have three color options – brown, black, and white and will be available from June 23. Details are still fuzzy at this time on global availability details for the three new Marshall speakers.

Check out the Microlino, a petit four-wheeled EV that has raked in 30,000 reservations

Jun 10, 2022

The Microlino is a pint-sized Swiss-designed electric vehicle that is drawing massive attention on several fronts. The Microlino is still to get to the full-scale production stage but has already chalked up a 30,000-strong list of reservation holders. The company says it has opened its configurator for custom adaptation of the petit EV.

The Microlino has a single front door opening style similar to BMW’s Isetta. The Microlino is classed between a car and a motorbike in several exciting ways. It takes up less space than a conventional car but retains the enclosed feature of cars, as well as increased storage options. The Microlino has seating for two people and 230-liter trunk space. It is a compact four-wheeled EV that is also high on maneuverability.

The Microlino weighs just about 535kg and delivers a driving range of about 230km. It can reach a top speed of 90km/h which is quite impressive. Its range implies that the Microlino is well suited for daily city commutes, as well as inter-city rides. The base model of the petit Microlino offers a range of about 115km, which is also convenient for daily city driving. A typical city driver could use the EV for up to a week without recharging.

The Microlino is a Class L7e vehicle in Europe. This means that it is technically a quadricycle, but it is designed as a compact car. It comes with an automotive design including an efficient unibody chassis, a smaller battery, and a minimal carbon footprint. About 90% of its components are produced in Europe, which provides an uncluttered supply chain. Microlino’s founder is projecting it as the most sustainable weather-protected vehicle in existence.

There are already over 30,000 reservations for the Microlino currently. It could be available first in Switzerland at around $15,340, although it has been listed in Europe to cost around $13,400. Deliveries will begin in the summer for Swiss customers, while other parts of Europe will follow subsequently.

The portable EV is being produced at the company’s facility in Turin, Italy. The plant is expected to scale up its capacity from 1,500 vehicles per year to about 10,000 cars per year. The backlog means that the company will have to seek ways of massively scaling up production.

Wearable devices mainly include audio products like headphones and TWS, smartwatches and wristbands.

Tech giants Microsoft and Samsung have always had a close relationship as they have previously offered multiple features exclusive to each other’s operating systems. One good example would be that the Galaxy devices are the only smartphones other that Microsoft Surface Duo devices capable of opening mobile apps on Windows using the My Phone app.

Now, the two brand’s collaboration is about to expand to Samsung’s smart TVs as Microsoft has announced that some of the upcoming Samsung TVs bring along the Xbox App and Game Pass. The new features will be included in the Samsung Gaming Hub, which will be the first Smart TV platform to include the Xbox app on Smart TVs.

The brand has revealed that the TVs launching with Xbox App and Game Pass will be the Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, QLEDs, and 2022 Smart Monitor Series. This new feature will essentially make these TVs into gaming machines as they will get access to cloud gaming via the Xbox App and will be able to stream over 100 high-quality games like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. This will also allow users to play new games released by Xbox Game Studios on Day one.

But if you don’t plan on buying a new Samsung television, don’t worry, because Microsoft is also working on a dongle device codenamed “Keystone,” which will enable users to stream Xbox Game pass games directly to their televisions without the need for any additional hardware other than the Keystone dongle.
