Bowers & Wilkins Redefines Premium Sound Quality and Design with New Px8 Wireless Headphones

• New improved wireless headphones with active noise cancellation. • Carbon transducers reduce distortion and provide superior resolution for true reference sound.

• Die-cast aluminum brackets, metallic details and nappa leather trim, available in leather or black tones.

• Bowers & Wilkins Music App allows enhancements to include direct streaming of music to headphones.

Worthing, UK, 3 October 2022 – Bowers & Wilkins , the British premium audio brand, has launched Px8 wireless active noise canceling headphones .which represent a further step in the standard of excellence in sound, quality and high-end finishes. Inspired by the Carbon Dome loudspeakers used in the 700 Series loudspeakers, the Px8’s new Carbon drivers provide a combination of ultra-fast response speed and exceptionally low distortion throughout its operating frequency range. The result is resolution, detail and tonal accuracy that exceed the high bar of excellence already set by the Px7 S2, ensuring even more natural and captivating sonic performance that brings the user closer than ever to the True Sound of performance. of the artist. More immersive and accurate soundstage The Px8’s Carbon Cone drivers are intentionally angled inside the ear cups to ensure a consistent distance from the user’s ear from any point on the surface of each driver, thus reproducing a sound scene more immersive and precise. The result is the best sound quality ever delivered by a Bowers & Wilkins wireless headphone.

The Px8 have the same wireless platform used in the Px7 S2 with active noise cancellation, which on the other hand are among the most musical headband headphones on the market. In the Px8, this feature is taken to even higher levels of resolution, micro-detail analysis capacity and spaciousness. A new premium design The Px8 design is available in two finishes, black leather and leather, and now includes brackets with a die-cast aluminum frame that references the distinctive Bowers & Wilkins design language.

YAMAHA SPORT TW-ES5A: the sound that accompanies you to achieve the best times

Specially developed for sports lovers, the new headphones have been designed to provide maximum stability and comfort along with superior sound. Thus, they have splash- and sweat-resistant silicone tips that have been mounted separately from the body of the headphones, which has an impact on maximum support and fit, while helping to dampen vibrations that occur when you are wearing. moving.

In addition to listening to music and at the same time being aware of the external sound when desired, they stand out for having Listening Care technology, which optimally corrects the sound balance according to volume and voices, achieving full-range audio at lower volumes.

October 2022. Yamaha, a leading European company in the manufacture of sound systems, has just launched its new wireless sports headphones on the market: Yamaha True Wireless Sport TW-ES5A.

YAMAHA SPORT TW-ES5A: the sound that accompanies you to achieve the best times

In five different shades, including Racing Blue, they have an attractive and motivating design. And being specially designed for the most active users, they have specific characteristics that make them ideal for enjoying music in any circumstance.

This is the case, for example, of the True Sound technology, which provides the best sound in all situations, both vocally and in relation to musical instruments, and brings listeners closer to the artist through a clear and very realistic.

Motion, vibration and sweat proof

As for their external design, they have been made with highly resistant and durable materials that at no time diminish the sound quality and that incorporate a highly permeable mesh to guarantee that the sound reaches the ear clearly.

Even so that they are always in place and do not fall or move with the movement generated during physical activity, the Yamaha True Wireless Sport TW-ES5A have ergonomically designed silicone tips that, having been assembled Independently from the body of the headphones, they are capable of holding them and keeping them fixed in place (distributing the support at different points of the ear), and contributing to damping unwanted vibrations that occur when moving and that can especially affect bass frequencies.

In addition, they are included in four different sizes to choose the one that best fits each ear. Thanks to them, a more optimal seal is produced so that listening is of even higher quality, especially in terms of bass, and also translates into higher isolation from ambient noise.

On the other hand, they are protected against splashes of water and sweat, with the IPX7 classification.

ambient sound mode

Another of the elements that characterize these headphones is that they allow the athlete to be immersed in their music but also to be aware of what is happening around them. And all this thanks to the ambient sound mode, which allows you to listen to both the audio and the rest of the sounds that are generated around you.

Greater clarity at lower volume

In the same way, to promote safe listening, they have Yamaha’s exclusive Listening Care technology, which is based on the characteristics of the human ear, which is more sensitive to some frequencies (notes) and less to others, being able to perceive Better media and voices. Thus, there are some frequencies that we hear worse at low volume, so we tend to turn it up to appreciate them, putting our hearing at risk.

For this reason, what this system does is take into account the music that reaches us and, at the same time, the noise of the environment, carrying out an adjustment of the levels and the equalization to achieve an optimal balance at any volume. As a result we obtain a natural sound, easy to listen to at low volumes and a reduction, therefore, of listening fatigue that occurs due to excessive levels.

Clear conversations and great versatility of use

Although designed for exercise, the Yamaha True Wireless Sport TW-ES5A are packed with features that make them highly versatile and therefore equally perfect for everyday use. Thus, it is possible to maintain clear and crystal clear voice calls thanks to the incorporation of Qualcomm® cVcTM wireless connectivity technology.

Meanwhile, high-performance MEMS microphones in both earbuds are dedicated to calls, separating incoming voice from other noise during sound capture.

Similarly, its TrueWirelessTM Mirroring technology makes it possible to carry out independent sound transmission (left and right) for greater playback stability. Added to this is the Role-Swap function, which prevents battery levels from decreasing unevenly.

Beyond intuitive handling

The new earphones are so intuitive that the simple gesture of removing an earphone will automatically pause the music, while putting the earphone back in its place will resume playback. It is also possible to activate the Siri or Google Assistant voice assistants with just one button.

While the in-ear detection and buttons offer easy control, the headset control app allows you to extend these functions, such as adjusting the equalization to tailor the music to the listener’s preferences. It is also possible to quickly activate

Also, thanks to the game mode they offer, the user will enjoy a reduction in the delay between sound and video, optimizing performance for the handling of the game and video content.

A high autonomy

Yamaha True Wireless Sport TW-ES5A also stand out for offering autonomy of up to 34 hours, 9h per charge and 25 more thanks to the accompanying case, which is used at the same time to store and transport them.

Finally, in Spain they are available in two shades: black and white.

MSRP Yamaha True Wireless Sport TW-ES5A: 199 euros (VAT included)

A new class of professional camera system

The professional camera system in iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in a smartphone, empowering everyone from casual to professional to capture the best photos and videos.

iPhone 14 Pro takes computational photography even further with the Photonic Engine, delivering a quantum leap for low- to medium-light photo performance across all cameras through deep hardware and software integration—up to 2x on the main camera. , up to 3x on the Ultra Wide camera, up to 2x on the Telephoto camera, and up to 2x on the TrueDepth camera. The Photonic Engine enables this dramatic increase in quality by applying Deep Fusion earlier in the imaging process to deliver extraordinary detail and preserve subtle textures, provide better color and retain more information in a photo.

For the first time, the Pro line features a new 48MP main camera with a four-pixel sensor that adapts to the photo being captured and features second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. For most photos, the four-pixel sensor combines every four pixels into one 2.44µm-equivalent quad large pixel, resulting in incredible low-light capture while keeping photo size to a handy 12 pixels. MP. The four-pixel sensor also enables a 2x telephoto option that uses the sensor’s central 12 megapixels for full-resolution photos and 4K video without digital zoom. This provides optical quality at a familiar focal length, which is great for features like Portrait mode. The four-pixel sensor also brings benefits to professional workflows, optimizing details in ProRAW. And with a new machine learning model designed specifically for the four-pixel sensor, iPhone now shoots ProRAW at 48MP in unprecedented detail, enabling new creative workflows for professional users.

Cinematic mode, now available in 4K at 30fps and 4K at 24fps.
Professional-grade workflows for video, including end-to-end ProRes3 and Dolby Vision HDR.

Shock detection and emergency SOS via satellite

The entire iPhone 14 lineup features innovative security capabilities that can provide emergency assistance when it matters most. With a new dual-core accelerometer capable of detecting G-force measurements up to 256G and a new high dynamic range gyroscope, Crash Detection on iPhone can now detect a serious car accident and automatically call emergency services when a user is unconscious or unable to reach your iPhone. These capabilities build on existing components, such as the barometer, which can now detect cabin pressure changes, GPS for additional input for speed changes, and the microphone,4 which can recognize loud noises typical of severe car accidents. Advanced Apple-designed motion algorithms trained with over a million hours of real-world driving and crash log data deliver even greater accuracy. When paired with Apple Watch, Crash Detection seamlessly harnesses the unique strength of both devices to help users efficiently. When a severe crash is detected, the emergency services call interface will appear on the Apple Watch, as it is more likely to be closer to the user, while the call is made through the iPhone if it is within range to obtain the best connection possible. Crash Detection perfectly leverages the unique strength of both devices to help users efficiently. When a serious crash is detected, the emergency services call interface will appear on the Apple Watch, as it is more likely to be closer to the user, while the call is made through the iPhone if it is within range to obtain the best connection possible.

When a serious crash is detected, the emergency services call interface will appear on the Apple Watch, as it is more likely to be closer to the user, while the call is made through the iPhone if it is within range to obtain the best connection possible.

The iPhone 14 lineup also introduces Emergency SOS via Satellite, which combines custom components deeply integrated with software to allow antennas to connect directly to a satellite, enabling messaging with emergency services when there is no Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. . Satellites are low-bandwidth moving targets and messages can take minutes to arrive. Because every second counts, with Satellite Emergency SOS, iPhone asks some vital questions to assess the user’s situation and shows them where to point their phone to connect to a satellite. The initial questionnaire and follow-up messages are then relayed to centers staffed by Apple-trained specialists who can request help on the user’s behalf.

BANG & OLUFSEN launches its new Beosound Theater soundbar

Created with the ambition to be the world’s most powerful and immersive soundbar , Danish audio brand Bang & Olufsen today announced Beosound Theatre: an innovative and thoughtful high-end soundbar that delivers the power of a home theater. , in a single product.

“With Beosound Theatre, we unleash the full potential of high-quality streaming services now available to customers and bring the magic of the cinematic experience into the home. At the same time, this beautiful soundbar is built to last for decades thanks to its modular design, which allows it to be upgraded rather than replaced,” said Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen.

A BANG & OLUFSEN TV EXPERIENCE DESIGNED FOR ALMOST ANY SCREEN

Bang & Olufsen is famous for its unique approach to craftsmanship and design. Based on the principles of modularity, customers can easily transform the soundbar into a full wall-mounted or floor-mounted Bang & Olufsen TV experience, so it blends in seamlessly and takes up no more space than their current TV.

The modular design concept also applies to the replaceable TV screens and sound bar cover. The aluminum ‘wings’ are also extendable for customers whose TV screens grow larger as they are upgraded, showing that Beosound Theater continues to provide seamlessly integrated solutions for longevity.

“We know our customers want to invest in products that last, so the Beosound Theater has been designed in a modular way to outlast many televisions in their lifetime. We have created a solution that allows the product to be upgraded rather than replaced, and a product that can evolve over time,” said Director of Product Circularity Mads Kogsgaard Hansen.

FROM SOUND BAR TO SOUND CENTER

Although Beosound Theater is a powerful single product solution, it can evolve to be used as a specialized sound center, providing new possibilities to build your home cinema. With seven built-in outputs and support for up to 16 external speakers, it can be the heart of a complete Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround setup. In this configuration, Beosound Theater functions as a center speaker that fuses Dolby Atmos decoding and custom post-processing with Bang & Olufsen’s proprietary True Image algorithm to maximize the capabilities of all Bang & Olufsen speakers .

In addition, Beosound Theater includes a new bass management system that is second to none. Whereas other systems just send the bass to the loudest speaker, usually the subwoofer, Beosound Theater uses all the Bang & Olufsen speakers in the system to work together as a single unit. Not only does this give you the full potential of the entire system, but it also helps you control resonance in your listening room, ensuring that the different speakers are working together rather than separately.

“You can buy the Beosound Theater as a soundbar and later add a pair of rear speakers like the Beolab 28 in a triangular configuration that delivers incredible spatial sound performance while continuing the overall goal of minimizing product, clutter and waste. engagement with space. All you have to do is connect them. This flexibility also means that our customers are not limited by their initial purchase decision, which in turn helps us extend the life of the Beosound Theater and increase the likelihood of multiple owners,” said technology specialist Jakob Dyreby .

“Beoplay EX embodies the seamless blend of comfort, luxury and quality sound that threads the entirety of our legendary audio portfolio together.

Compact design. Built for comfort.

Beoplay EX differs most notably from previous Bang & Olufsen earphones in the shape of its design. Designed by Thomas Bentzen, the stem-based shape has been adopted and transformed into a finished offering that is equal parts stylish and comfortable. The housing of the earphone placed inside the ear, is smaller than ever before, and ensures a comfortable and stable fit that can be worn for hours without readjustment.

The practicality of this new shape is matched with the signature Bang & Olufsen aesthetic, perfected over 96 years of craftmanship and design innovation.

Bang & Olufsen’s new shape in earphone design creates space for a 9.2 mm speaker driver in Beoplay EX, the biggest ever used for a true-wireless device by the brand. This results in a significant upgrade in the power of each audio moment, without compromising on comfort. Listening can last all day, as Beoplay EX has up to 20 hours of total playtime including charging in the case, and 6 hours of playtime with ANC turned on.

This combination of unrivalled sound quality and impressive ANC is matched with an upgrade in call quality, so that Beoplay EX can be used for taking meetings or personal calls at any moment. Each earphone has three microphones, beamforming technology and own voice functionality built in, to ensure a seamless call experience.

Simple connectivity. Versatile.

With the latest in Bluetooth 5.2 technology and background noise reduction, Beoplay EX makes it easy to go wireless and connect with the office, friends and family in any location. With Multipoint connectivity, the earphones can also connect to two devices at the same time, allowing wearers to listen to music from one and make calls with the other. Beoplay EX is not only leading the way in connectivity, but the new model is also sweat and IP57-certified dust resistant and waterproof, making it an extremely durable personal sound solution.

Pricing & availability

The Beoplay EX (399 USD / 399 EUR / 349 GBP / 2998 CNY) will be available in Anthracite Oxygen from May 5th 2022, Gold Tone from May 27th 2022 and Black Anthracite from June 2022.

Fēnix 7: the latest generation of Garmin smartwatches

The popular multisport GPS watch series is reinvented with a new touch screen, advanced training features and a longer-lasting solar-charged battery
The fēnix 7X models incorporate a built-in multi-LED flashlight so that the adventurer can enjoy his passion even in the dark.
Users will continue to have access to topographic maps, smart connectivity and security features, and wellness measurement tools.

Barcelona, 2022. – The wait has been worth it. Garmin introduces the fēnix 7 series of smartwatches, the next generation of the iconic line of solar-powered multisport GPS devices, designed with the best features to help athletes and adventurers perform at their best. Among its novelties, the new touch screen combined with an interface with 5 buttons integrated into a resistant casing stands out. It also incorporates innovative training functions, as well as multi-band positioning and multi-zone topographic maps. Not forgetting the advanced solar charging technology that allows for longer battery life sAo users can enjoy their passion for longer.

“Since the introduction of fēnix 10 years ago, at Garmin we have been committed to helping athletes and adventurers pursue their challenges, and we remain steadfast in our mission to equip them with innovative tools that help them do so,” said Salvador Alcover, Garmin CEO. Iberia. “The fēnix 7 series brings cutting-edge multisport training capabilities to the wrist. The new touchscreen and updated design, advanced performance metrics, and health, wellness, and connectivity features make fēnix 7 the most complete lineup for athletes to perform at their best,” he adds.

Designed for adventure

The series is available in three sizes and different premium materials, such as titanium and sapphire. To withstand the most demanding adventure conditions and to obtain greater durability, the watch has been redesigned incorporating reinforced lugs and a metal protection for the start button. As a novelty, the 5 button-shaped controls are joined by a new highly responsive touch screen. In this way, the user will have a dual utility interface, thus facilitating quick and intuitive interaction and navigation through the maps, or they can deactivate the touch screen if they prefer to use only the buttons.

Solar charging technology, pioneered by Garmin watches, is also present in fēnix 7 which, thanks to its design, maximizes the solar surface for greater efficiency, doubling the solar gains of fēnix 6 in smartwatch mode. For fēnix 7X models, solar power can last even longer between charges with a battery life of up to 5 weeks in smartwatch mode1 and up to 5 days in GPS mode2. Furthermore, with the introduction of the Power SapphireTM (solar sapphire) models, wearers will no longer have to choose between a solar-charged watch or one with a sapphire lens, as these models have both features.

Light in the darkness

While solar charging helps make the most of daylight hours, fēnix 7X’s new hands-free, quick-access integrated multi-LED flashlight makes it possible to take advantage of low-light and dark hours. An adjustable white or red light will illuminate the path for increased visibility and terrain awareness. Thanks to it, adventurers can set up camp after a long day of hiking or exercise in the late afternoon. With race mode activated, the light will adapt to the runner’s cadence, alternating between white and red with each movement of the arm. The white light will illuminate forward to see the track and the red light will illuminate backwards so the runner can see and be seen as he takes each stride with the utmost confidence.

First level training

The new fēnix 7 generation continues to bet on multiple sports applications ranging from bouldering (block climbing) to mountaineering, through strength training and many other profiles. It also incorporates a series of tools to achieve optimal performance and go to the next level:

Stamina – This tool allows athletes to control and track exertion levels during a running or cycling activity, thus keeping exhaustion at bay.

Visual Race Predictor: This feature takes into account the user’s running history and general fitness to provide race estimates and insights on how their training is progressing.

Recovery Time Advisor: Once physical activity is complete, this feature takes into account training intensity and other factors such as stress, daily activity, and sleep to estimate the number of hours of rest needed to recover before another training session of the same nature.

Daily Training Suggestions – This feature provides recommendations for the next running or cycling training session, based on your current training load, training status, and overall fitness level.

In order not to lose the north

Staying true to the brand’s philosophy, the range of watches is equipped with the full suite of Garmin navigation features, being compatible with all major satellite systems along with the additional L5 frequency range to improve accuracy in harsh GPS environments. All models in the series come with preloaded SkiView and 42,000 golf course maps. Standard Solar copies allow TopoActive maps to be downloaded from any region of the world. For its part, the Sapphire Solar models have preloaded TopoActive maps of their region and also allow downloading of any territory in the world.

To optimize time on race day, fēnix 7 has a new Next Stops feature that provides the exact location of aid stations, trails, next turns, and more. At user-defined upcoming stops, a data page displays performance metrics including upcoming distance and elevation, with a summary of the last leg and an optional rest timer. All this to help athletes manage their time during the competition.

Wellness and connectivity 24/7

As a good adventure partner, fēnix 7 is designed to be enjoyed every day and in any environment. It has health and wellness tools like Pulse Ox, heart rate, breathing and stress monitoring, as well as measuring energy levels with Body Battery and age according to fitness with Fitness Age.

Fēnix 7 allows smart notifications to be received directly on the wrist by pairing the smartwatch with a compatible smartphone. Thanks to its connectivity, the device has security and tracking functions providing peace of mind while training outdoors with automatic detection of incidents and falls and manually activated assistance alerts, which send a message with the user’s location in real time. to emergency contacts4.

SPF: security for your email

To protect your email from cyber attacks, you must be able to identify the sender. This is where a security feature known as SPF comes into play.

In this article we will explain what it is and why you should care about it. Let us begin:

What is SPF?

The Sender Policy Framework is an email security protocol that allows the identity of senders to be verified.

This is divided into two parts:

A DNS TXT/SPF record : which indicates which servers are authorized to send emails from a given domain.

The SPF check : is the verification that is done on receiving a message and that checks if the server that has sent the message is indeed the one that the DNS record marks as authorized.

Therefore, the configuration of the DNS TXT/SPF record allows sending mail to be correctly signed , while the SPF check consists of discriminating received mail .

How does SPF work ?

The SPF check checks that the sending server is authorized to send mail on behalf of the domain.

It works at various levels, based on the DNS TXT/SPF record:

1.- Verify that the sender IP is authorized to send emails with said domain.
2.- Verify the email enveloper sender field matches the expected value.
3.- Verify by means of the helo/ehlo command the valid response from the server that sends the mail.

If the set of checks does not match, the email is blocked. All received emails have a header added with the result of the SPF analysis.

Now, how do we find out the IP addresses of the sender’s email server? We do this by checking the SPF record of the sender’s domain name.

SPF record

In cdmon this default log looks like this:

v=spf1 include:_spf.srv.cat ~all

At first glance, this does not seem to include any IP addresses, but if we analyze it with a specialized tool, it indicates the IPs from which a cdmon user can send messages:

This means that if a cdmon user works with the default SPF record, they will be able to send messages from any of these IPs:

46.16.56.0/21
134.0.8.0/21
185.22.200.0/22
185.34.192.0/22
185.42.104.0/22
185.66.40.0/22

In case of working with more than one mail service (such as a mailing service such as Acumba or Mailchimp), it will be necessary to add their servers as authorized hosts for sending.

Remember that you can only have a single SPF record, so if you have to make this change, we recommend that you follow the steps indicated in our guide to configure it for mail in the static DNS or follow the instructions in the following video:

But why do we need email security?

Email is convenient and easy to use, but it’s also open to cyberattacks and other threats. Email security is the way to protect your account and prevent spam emails from others.

This can prevent scams and phishing attacks that can steal your information. Also, knowing the identity of the sender can protect you from spoofed emails and people pretending to be someone else.

With SPF, you can feel more confident that your email account is protected.
