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.

I’m a big fan of having the right tool for the right job — which is something I've definitely said before. If you’re a photographer, it means you probably have more than one lens. If you’re a chef, you have more than one knife or pan. You don’t take a sedan muddin’, as they say in my neck of the woods. And you don’t take a johnboat 100 miles offshore to go fishing.

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.
