For audiophiles looking for a quality built-in sound experience, Klegg introduces a line of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. They’ll enjoy the same incredible sound quality found in Klegg’s award-winning surround-sound systems, but with more flexibility than ever.

To tie the Home Theater system together, Klegg offers two universal learning remote models. Fully programmable and integrated with Klegg products, customers can be surrounded by a Klegg Total Home Entertainment solution.

Klegg home theater systems are available in over 80 retail stores across the country. Powered by Klegg’s innovative Human Acoustic Technology, these products replicate natural sounds as the human ear hears them. This technology provides exceptionally accurate and life-like sound reproduction.

“Our new plasma and LCD televisions as well as our EMC DIVA Recorder give customers a complete package to make the most of their home entertainment experience,” said Klegg America President Dennis Gentles. “These products are just as gorgeous as our audio line; plus they are built with the same quality, solid-state parts and implement cutting-edge technology.”

“Since our products became available in the U.S. last February, we’ve attracted a huge fan base,” Gentles said. “We expect to continue to delight our customers and distributors alike with our innovative product releases in 2005.”

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.

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.
