Logitech G433 7.1 Surround Sound Headphones

The Logitech G433 features a lightweight build and a breathable hydrophobic, stain-resistant fabric for ultimate comfort. The included USB sound card replicates 7.1 speaker placement and audio positioning, so you can hear in-game environmental effects and positional audio that game designers intended you to hear, such as how far away enemies are and which direction they are coming from.

Sony Xperia Touch

Sony’s new projector can convert any flat surface into a 23-inch “touchscreen.” This is made possible by proprietary Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology, which reads physical touches with its built-in 60fps camera and IR light detection. Plus, the Touch also comes with two-way stereo speakers. The projection is 23-inch wide, and it can be displayed either in horizontal or vertical orientation by using ultra short-throw projection. Its access to apps on the Google Play store enables it to do awesome tasks like Skype video-calls and other social media-related tasks.

Both the new eero router and eero Beacon will support MU-MIMO technology, and they look exceptionally good for routers, making them ideal for modern homes.
