Shiny Video Review: Roth Audio Music Cocoon MC4 and Fatman Fatboy speakers
I went all audiophile crazy recently, and took some time out of my busy schedule (of, ahem, FaceBooking and lol-catting) to review the new Roth Audio Music Cocoon MC4 tube-based amplifier, and Fatman Fatboy speakers. Take a look if quality music is your game, and you’re embarassed of your £39 pair of iPod speakers you got at Argos on sale last Christmas…
2007 Tech Trends No. 8: Bluetooth music
Wire, huh? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Well, it does keep chickens in their place I suppose, but apart from that, wires are intrinsically rubbish. They get in the way, get tangled up, and when they’re white and attached to an iPod, they get you mugged.

Perhaps not of interest to us London-dwelling public-transport using folk, those who rely on their cars for transport will be pleased to note that Pioneer, the leaders in in-car audio, have announced a new line of video, navigation, and audio products which will hopefully be affordable for all. Featuring two new audio/video players, 14 car stereos, and a couple of in-dash navigation systems, there’s something that will suit every form of commuter. The new single-CD player lines start at just $100, and work alongside your mobile phone, so when it rings, the stereo will instantly mute, allowing the call to be easily answered. The players have XM/Sirius support on all models, and are compatible with all music devices available, through USB connectivity, Bluetooth compatibility, Direct iPod control, and auxiliary inputs.
