Panasonic 2013 earbuds and sports headphones line up

Panasonic is pulling out all the stops at CES this year, and in addition to new TV’s, home theater systems, and camcorders, they’ve just showcased a new line of earbuds as well. It seems that more and more manufacturers are embracing the idea that headphones can be a fashion statement, and with their veritable rainbow of HV41 earbud colors, it’s clear that Panasonic has caught on to the trend.  

Looking for some buds that are loud, but not necessarily in such loud colors? Panasonic has also released the HJE190 and BTGS10 buds which have more subdued and mellow hues, but are likely similar in sound quality. That, however, remains to be heard, so be sure to check back for our review and first impressions in the weeks to come.

Only one person will win these diamond-encrusted Bose earbuds
Diamond encrusted Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

It's Bose's 60th anniversary, so the company is celebrating with an appropriate creation: a set of diamond-encrusted Bose Ultra Open Earbuds valued at over $9,000. The blingy buds are one-of-a-kind and they aren't for sale. Instead, Bose has decided to award them to one lucky person: the winner of its Diamond-Studded Giveaway contest.

Is this an obvious marketing move to generate buzz for the audio brand? For sure, but it's also a way to drive sales of Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, Ultra Earbuds, and Ultra Open Earbuds in the new limited edition "Diamond Collection" product color.  Each Diamond Collection purchase on bose.com between August 26 and September 16 gets you one entry into the contest, up to a maximum of three entries per person.

1More says its $90 SonoFlow Pro HQ51 headphones are better than Bose and Sony
1More SonoFlow Pro HQ51.

1More has released two new upgraded products in its wireless headphones and open-ear earbuds lineup with the SonoFlow Pro HQ51 ($90) and Open Ear S70 ($120). Both will be available mid-to-late August, with $20 discounts for those who order during the promotional launch window.

The SonoFlow Pro HQ51 picks up where the original SonoFlow leaves off -- the two models have a nearly identical shape and design. Comfort may be slightly enhanced -- the new cans now use leather ear cushions. 1More has given battery life (which was already outstanding at 50 hours with ANC) a bump to 65 hours, a number that jumps to 100 when you turn ANC off.
