Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These!
Master & Dynamic MW60
When it comes to luxury headphones, you want comfort, convenience, and a sublime aural experience on a personal level – only then will that constitute money well spent. Very few headphones qualify, and one of them is the lesser-known Master & Dynamic MW60. ‘Less’ is not a word that describes any aspect of this headphone as it sports full leather and metal trimmings, with nary a hint that they’ve cut corners anywhere. It’s also matched with a powerful Bluetooth transmitter that is almost impossible to disrupt, while the sonic fireworks come courtesy of 45mm neodymium drivers tuned to perfection.
Fujifilm X70
The compact camera isn’t dead yet – not if it’s anything like the Fujifilm X70. Fujifilm’s latest premium compact combines a small form factor with excellent image quality and a quality, premium finish. An APS-C sized image sensor places it on par with DSLR cameras far larger than it when image quality is concerned, giving you a compelling reason why you should not just take smartphone pictures only. While it does not have a zoom lens – which would have made the camera much bigger – the large sensor allows the X70 to use a creative trick where you can simulate a zoom effect by cropping the picture at popular focal lengths like 35mm and 50mm. Deliciously retro and stylish, this is perfect for holiday escapades.
Plantronics Voyager 5200
For extremely mobile professionals, having to converse from very noisy environments such as train stations, coffee shops, airports, or even outside at a park, is an everyday occurrence. With these people in mind, Plantronics has developed the Voyager 5200 for those who are constantly on-the-go and need to sound professional in even the most challenging situations. The Voyager 5200 features the exclusive WindSmart technology, which ensures extraordinary wind and noise reduction.
Samsung Galaxy Edge S7
There’s no dearth of smartphones today, so the question is not so much which smartphones are good – there are countless examples of reasonably priced products in the form of Oppo, Xiaomi and Huawei – but when it comes to the ultimate smartphone indulgence, it has to be the S7 Edge, as it relentlessly pushes the boundaries of premium smartphones, styling-wise and features-wise: expect a vibrant, ultra-sharp display and camera, top-of-the-line processor and effortless performance. The best Galaxy Edge phone from Samsung just yet.
HP Spectre 13.3
The world’s thinnest laptop at the moment is not just thin, it’s gorgeous as well. It’s true that if you’ve seen one laptop you’ve pretty much seen them all, but the difference with the Spectre 13.3 is that it inspires desire. The combination of carbon fibre and gold-tinted aluminium creates a striking and classy contrast and the laptop feels premium no matter where you hold or touch it. Despite the 10.4mm thinness and 1.1kg spec, it is available in a top-specced Intel Core i7 configuration and a battery life that last up to nine hours. The only downside is that it’s only available on pre-order although they’re set to hit our shores soon.
