As Promised - Grado SR-80i Arrive at AMP3!

Share

Looking for some serious home listening action? These Grado cans will do the job just fine! At
only £107.95 you will be getting more than you bargained for - these headphones pack some serious punch delivering, according to WHAT HIFI, "The Best Home On Ear Headphones £100-£150".


With some serious sonic abilities the Grado SR80is deliver it all. By introducing a four conductor connecting cable and special 'de-stressed' diaphragms, the inner detail on these pups is enhanced and they deliver a more open sound stage performance making you feel part of the audio.

Check out these Grado Cans (Here), they join Grados SR-60i headphones at AMP3 that have already made quite an impact!

WHAT HIFI: RATED 5/5

"The fact is, headphones are used for private listening. Which means most models utilise a closed-back design, which keeps you from inflicting your music on those around you. But this design also creates a plethora of internal reflections, enclosure vibrations and standing waves – all of which are seriously detrimental to sound quality. So, what’s to be done? Well, it’s to Grado’s great credit that it decided to answer that question with a method of mind-boggling simplicity: make open-backed headphones that leak sound like there’s no tomorrow but which, as a result, sound sublime to the person wearing them."

PURE Takes Top Accolade in What HiFi Awards!

Share

PURE – the UK’s leading radio manufacturer – has received another awards bonanza with top accolades in two leading UK Hi-Fi magazine annual awards as well as plaudits from consumer and international press.

PURE has won ‘What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision’ magazine’s prestigious ‘Radio Product of the Year’ for the seventh time in nine years. PURE’s AVANTI Flow won the title for the second year in a row and was also awarded ‘Best Internet Radio’.

PURE’s ONE Elite took the prize for ‘Best Desktop DAB up to £100’.

The awards issue of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision says of AVANTI Flow: “Pure’s admirable Avanti Flow takes both Best Internet Radio and overall Product of the Year Awards for the second year running… By turns punchy and composed, the Avanti Flow creates a generous soundstage, keeps a close eye on detail, and generates considerable levels of scale and attack. It’s deft and dynamic, with prodigious midrange expression. It puts even some similarly priced micro-systems to shame.”

In the 2010 Hi-Fi Choice Awards PURE’s Sensia took two top accolades, winning both ‘Best Radio Tuner’ and the coveted ‘Best Innovation’ title.

The awards issue of Hi-Fi Choice says of Sensia: “The Sensia takes what we expect a radio to do and turns it on its head. The combination of DAB with internet radio and media streaming – to say nothing of the ability to access certain websites is deeply impressive. It was the first product to bring touch-screen interactivity to this most cherished medium.”

Additionally, Avanti Flow and EVOKE-3 have been awarded “Best Buy” status from the highly respected and stringent “Which?” magazine, while Sensia has been awarded Best Product of the Year by SmartHouse in Australia.

Says Paul Smith, general manager, PURE: “I am delighted and proud that once again the incredible effort the whole PURE team puts into the audio quality and innovation in our radios has been recognized by press and consumer groups alike.”

We just got some info through from GoPro about where their stunning action cameras are being used. We're seeing them more and more often on TV - a great testament to the build quality and standard of footage, that they are placed in the most hostile environments and come back with incredible images:

October 13, 2010 - We are always amazed and humbled to see how our cameras are being used to document world events. Here is coverage from CNN on the rescue of the miners trapped in the Chilean mine.

A camera attached to the Fenix rescue capsule shows what it looks like inside the tunnel:

Behold the Audiophile's Dream - the Cowon X7!

Share
Killer news from Korea!

The long awaited successor to Cowon's cult smash, the X5 is due with us before the end of the year! Rocking two sizes of massive hard drive and a huge touch screen, this is the audiophile's dream. Containing battery capacity for 102 hours of continuous music playback, combined with the best audio hardware and file compatibility anywhere on the market, this is the one to watch.

Keep your eyes peeled for the reviews for this, as it's really going to be the only player in a market of one. The iPod Classic still soldiers on with outdated tech and anachronistic user interface, while this will combine massive storage and peerless audio quality with the latest touch-screen control and usability.

With this screen, of course, video will also be very much on the cards - with Cowon's traditional multi-format support featuring massively.

Our Monthly Review Winner is David Sandilands - Congratulations David!

Share Each month we hold a special competition for everyone who leaves a product review on AMP3, the Prize is a £50 AMP3 voucher!

This month our lucky winner is David Sandilands who left a fantastic review of the Jaybird Sportsband, his review below...

"Having owned a number of bluetooth headphones from creative to logitech and then the jaybird jb100 (freedom) headphones I got this replacement for my jb100s when they broke and clearly jaybirds bluetooth chipset has been massively upgraded.

Its keeps a much more stable signal and has a … read moremuch better sound. A very comfortable on the head and I have found them an excellent fit. The battery life is as listed as I tested on a flight to US. There is also a much clearer sound for phone calls and microphone seems to be better at picking up sound for calls. I got the isport adapter for other non bluetooth devices I have but not convinced I can hear the difference with apt-x. This is hands down best bluetooth headset I have had."

David happily accepted his £50 vouchers with the words "Brilliant News...a nice bonus literally just back from my honeymoon so good to have an excuse to buy something."

Congratulations David and we hope you enjoy your £50 AMP3 Voucher!
