CES 2018: Sony Unveils New Earbuds, Headphones, and Bluetooth Speakers

Sony on Tuesday at CES 2018 in Las Vegas brought a bunch of goodies for audiophiles. Taking on Apple's AirPods and Samsung's Gear IconX, the Japanese company unveiled the WF-SP700N wireless noise-cancelling stereo headset and a sports-centric WI-S600N with the behind-the-neck style. The company also showcased the MDR-1AM2 headphones and a range of Extra Bass Bluetooth speakers, including the SRS-XB41, SRS-XB31, and SRS-XB21. All the new models are expected to hit stores in the US sometime around this Spring.
The Sony WF-SP700N will be available with a price tag of $179.99 (approximately Rs. 11,450), while the WF-SP600N will go on sale at $149.99 (roughly Rs. 9,540). The Sony MDR-1AM2, on the other hand, are priced at $299.99 (approximately Rs. 19,100) and the prices for the SRS-XB41, SRS-XB31, and SRS-XB21 are set at $249.99 (roughly Rs. 15,900), $149.99 (around Rs. 9,540), and $99.99 (approximately Rs. 6,360), respectively.

Amongst all the new Sony sound-centric announcements, the WF-SP700N are perhaps the most compelling one. The earbuds are designed with a cord-free build to rival likes of the AirPods and Gear IconX. Sony has claimed that despite their portable size, the WF-SP700N are the world's first noise-cancelling and splash-proof (IPX4) wireless headphones. They are funky colour options to attract the youth and a battery life of three hours. This is notably less than the five-hour battery life claim that comes with the AirPods and Gear IconX. However, Sony's earbuds also come in a "one-touch open" case that can offer an additional charge of nine hours.
If you're not looking for an alternative to the AirPods or Gear IconX but have a dream of owning the Google Pixel Buds one day, Sony has the WI-SP600N neckbuds that also have the noise cancellation and IP4X-certified build, similar to the WF-SP700N earbuds. But there is more juice than the portable offering to deliver you continuous playback for nine hours.

Google retires the Pixel C tablet as it shifts focus to the Pixelbook As noted earlier today by  Android Police , Google has  stopped selling the Pixel C  through its online store. It’s a quiet and not unexpected end for the company’s well-received tablet, designed to make room for Google’s latest and greatest. The company confirmed with TechCrunch that the end of sale also represents the end of life for the device, though Google added that it plans to continue supporting the hardware moving forward. “As is common when a device has been out for a few years, we’re now retiring Pixel C and it is no longer available for sale,” the company said in a statement. “However, we are committed to updating and supporting it, including the recent update to Android 8.0, so customers can continue to get the best out of their device.” And, of course, the statement wouldn’t be complete without a plug for its new premium Chromebook. “Our newly launched Google Pixelbook combin...
