Sennheiser Introduces New Headphones[teaser]New headphones models have been detailed.[/teaser] Sennheiser has revealed its headphone lineup for CES 2018. The collection includes the HD 820 closed-back dynamic stereo headphones, the CX 6.00BT Bluetooth in-ear headphones, and the HDV 820 headphone amplifier. "Whether on the move, at work or at home, the passionate audiophile will always want to appreciate their music to the full," said Axel Grell, Portfolio Management Consumer at Sennheiser. "Usually, high-end headphones require an open-back design, which has placed limits on where you can enjoy true audiophile sound. The HD 820 is a game changer that delivers exceptional sound while insulating the listener from their environment. I consider them to be the most transparent-sounding closed-back headphones in the world." The HD 820 closed-back dynamic stereo headphones feature Sennheiser Ring Radiator transducers with new unique glass covers. The patent-pending curved Gorilla glass is able to reflect the sound waves from the rear of the transducer to two absorber chambers in order to minimize resonance. In addition, the device uses a robust metal headband with an inner damping element, silver-cladded OFC cables, gold-plated plugs, and high-quality non-allergic synthetic leather ear pads with microfiber cushions. And to complement the headphones, Sennheiser also has the HDV 820 amplifier with symmetrical signal processing, low harmonic distortion, and a specially tuned symmetrical, impedance matching cable with low capacitance. Meanwhile, the CX 6.00BT Bluetooth in-ear headphones feature Bluetooth 4.2 and Qualcomm apt-X Low Latency compatibility. Likewise, the device uses Sennheiser's high-quality proprietary speaker system with an enhanced bass response. Multi-connection capability with support for pairing with up to two devices simultaneously, an integrated microphone with cVc noise cancellation technology, and a 3-way calling mode are offered as well. In addition, the headphones incorporate an around-the-neck cable design and a three button remote. Finally, battery life is rated for six-hours. "We have created the CX 6.00BT to deliver everything you need to enjoy excellent sound on the go," said Nan Chen, Product Manager at Sennheiser. "Thanks to the latest wireless technologies you can enjoy this unspoilt audio experience with the flexibility of supremely compact, lightweight and comfortable Bluetooth headphones." Sennheiser's HD 820 closed-back dynamic stereo headphones are set to launch in early summer 2018 for an MSRP of $2,399.95, and the CX 6.00BT in-ear Bluetooth headphones are expected to be available this month for an MSRP of $99.95.

Panasonic Unveils 2018 OLED TV Lineup with HDR10+ Support[teaser]The company's latest OLED displays have been detailed.[/teaser] Panasonic has revealed its 2018 OLED 4K TV lineup. The new collection includes the FZ950 and FZ800 Series. The TVs both feature new OLED panels and an Absolute Black Filter. Likewise, the displays will be the first OLED TVs to include support for the HDR10+ dynamic metadata high dynamic range format, which is currently used on a growing collection of streaming titles from Amazon Prime Video. A Dynamic Scene Optimizer function to simulate dynamic metadata when playing standard HDR10 content will be implemented as well. With that said, there is no mention of Dolby Vision support. In addition, the TVs will use Panasonic's newest Hollywood-tuned HCX video processor with support for almost 100 percent of the DCI color space. The updated HCX processor also offers a new "Dynamic LUT" (Look Up Table) system, allowing the HCX to automatically monitor the average brightness level of a scene and then use picture analysis to dynamically load an appropriate LUT. Color accuracy for shadows and the transition from pure black have also been improved thanks to added layers of LUT data in darker levels. Panasonic has also worked to refine its calibration tools, offering finer adjustment options. And beyond picture quality features, the FZ950 series also includes a "Tuned by Technics" Dynamic Blade Speaker. The thin audio system features four larger woofers, four squawkers, two tweeters, and a quad passive radiator. Pricing and availability for Panasonic's upcoming FZ950 and FZ800 Series Ultra HD TVs have not been announced yet, but both series will be available in 55-inch and 65-inch screen sizes.
