50 Cent plans to roll out new headphones line

Dr. Dre will be gearing for more competition from rappers who are getting into the headphones business, the most recent being 50 Cent. Fifty, also known as Curtis Jackson, has his own headphones company SMS Audio, which recently acquired KonoAudio for an undisclosed amount. SMS Audio is set to unveil a line-up of new products in the coming weeks. That is, if the plan pushes through.

You see, it already happened before, when 50 Cent inked a deal with Sleek Audio to produce and distribute a wireless hybrid headphone system called Sleek by 50. Protoypes were even showed off at CES 2011, but the deal fell apart last May. SMS Audio, part of 50’s G-Unit Brands, then picked up where it left off and plans on releasing at least three headphones.

The company has yet to announce anything about its upcoming headphones, but it revealed that the line will consist of three categories: Wired, wireless, and earbuds. There are also reports that one of its products will feature a full on-board playback control and a so-called “shared listening experience” that enable up to four headphone users to listen simulteneously from a single source.

Expect SMS Audio to unveils these new headphones in the coming weeks, most likely before the holidays.

The HP Spectre x360 13.3" Touchscreen/Pen model (13-AC010CA)

The HP Spectre x360 13.3" Touchscreen/Pen (13-AC010CA) The Spectre x360 is the latest 13.3" product from HP that has a hinge that allows the screen to rotate a full 360 degrees, making it a great contender for your 2-in-1 portability pursuit. The major difference here is that it doesn't have a detachable keyboard, and just maybe that in tablet mode grabbing at the keyboard on the backside makes it a little awkward to hold. Not a deal breaker though. Unboxing Experience Right from the get-go you know you're dealing with something serious. HP knows that the unboxing experience is just as important as the experience with the laptop itself, and they didn't skimp out. One look at this box and you're jittering with excitement!

Made for the number cruncher, the student who values the balance between portability and performance, or the everyday person who likes watching a lot of videos and playing the casual game. The Physical The Acer Aspire E15 generally feels great in the hand when it's folded and carried it around.
