Harman Kardon’s toughens up its killer CL headphone, calls it SOHO

The latest addition to Harmon Kardon’s growing headphone lineup, the $200 SOHO, will be showcased this week at the IFA electronics show in Berlin. The new headset takes a lesson in design from Harman’s popular CL headphone, offering retro style in a HK-Soho-2sleek, stainless steel frame, which conveniently folds down to less than 1.25-inches in width for easy travel.

Trading the CL’s dainty, skeletal frame for a more robust chassis, the SOHO appears to be a more durable alternative to its predecessor, while still providing minimalist elegance. The distinctive rectangular earpieces are equipped with high-performance 30mm drivers, and the slim frame is accented with firm padding along the band and earpieces, cloaked in stitched leather. Unlike many of Harman’s other headsets, the SOHO will be available in a triad of colors, including black, white, and camel. Included in the box is a low-profile travel case, as well as your choice of removable cables with in-line mic/remote pieces for either Android or iOS devices. You can bet we’ll be checking these headphones out as soon as we can get our hands on a pair. 

Harman Kardon’s new SOHO headset will be available for purchase this November.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!
A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio
Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch
The 2024 Beats Pill and an aging Sonos Play:1.

If I were to build an outdoor stereo in 2024, I'd do it with a pair of portable Beats Pills instead of Sonos speakers. Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
