One of our lucky viewers after my GlobalTV Sunday Morning News today will win a Kohler moxie shower head, $149, that pumps out, not just water, but music from your nearby smartphone via Bluetooth.
The moxie speaker component is attached to the middle of the shower head magnetically and is rechargeable via a sealed USB port. You can also use it outside, as a pocket speaker on its own, in inclement weather. If you happen to have the Sony Xperia Z1 or Ultra Z1 smartphones, which are waterproof to 1.5m, you can control your music volume and selection in the shower! The front shower head finish is maintenance-free rubberized material for constant water flow. The music cones come in white, red, green or blue. http://kohler.ca/
I also showed other Bluetooth wireless speakers for every budget.
-Toshiba can start you off on a small budget with the portable TY-SP1W in white are TY-SP1Z in black at a discounted price of $39.99 from http://www.toshiba.ca or retailers like Staples may match that. The Bluetooth speaker plays for 8 hours at 75 per cent volume and is a good personal companion size.
-Similarly, the portable TY-SP3K $89.99, can fill a room with its 2.1 channel stereo speaker with bass booster pumping out a respectable 3 Watts x 2 and 5 Watts from the Bass driver. It communicates with your player allowing you to play the next or previous track.
-For the best behaved, the z600 from Logitech $179.99 have a gorgeous sculptured look in white use Bluetooth but also include a tiny USB transceiver for laptops and desktop PC’s that don’t have Bluetooth, smart. But there’s even more smartness. You can pre-program and conveniently switch between up to three devices and you can use the circular touch volume on top of one of the two speakers. Sound quality? As they describe Rolls Royce horsepower…sufficient, with three heavy drivers per tower.
-This hi-tech Sony Wearable HDTV (HMZT3W) $1,299 is a personal wireless head mount HDTV viewer for watching directly from your Blu ray, DVD and Game Console player, or TV receiver. Plug these into the included multi HDMI connector box INSTEAD OF THE TV (also works with a TV by-pass) and sit across the room wirelessly with the headset and headphones. It’s like being in the front row of the best movie screen ever.
It actually simulates a 750-inch screen 65 feet away and 7.5 surround sound, all in your personal private comfort. With some initial adjustment for a proper head fit, once you get it right, the lightweight headset literally floats over your head.
You can enjoy the Wearable HDTV on your tablet, PC, mobile device or smartphone. It also plays 3D content which I found more comfortable and brighter than the regular 3D glasses for TV’s.
Sure, you will look like a weirdo geek wearing this head set but the looking is all in the eye of the beholder and that is you in your private mega screen cinema display.
