Over the last few years, I have become a huge proponent of multi-room audio systems. The ability to play one song in unison across my home or hand-pick from a variety of sources in each space is one of my favorite technology advancements over the last few years. While AirPlay systems can be tweaked to recreate this setup, it doesn’t offer the same refined experience as SONOS and the like.
Kickstarter veteran, Hidden Radio Design, is back with a new whole home speaker system that actively accounts for the shape and size of each room. After raising over 1.6 million dollars on two prior campaigns, the focus has now shifted to the HiddenHUB, an omnidirectional speaker system that aims to knock off some of the biggest names in audio.

With the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus debuting next week, it’s important to start thinking about how to make sure your new phone is protected as soon as you get it. At some point, you’ll probably want to resell your phone for top dollar to upgrade to the iPhone 7s, and getting the best price will require your device to be in like-new condition. The smartest way to protect your iPhone is with the updated Speck CandyShell series or new MightyShell line. “Designed for Impact” and available in all-new styles, Speck’s CandyShell cases have a perfect combination of great looks, protection, and accessory compatibility for your new iPhone.

Each one-piece case is made with two bonded layers — one soft, one hard — together creating a snug fit and incredibly easy installation. But unlike competitors, the CandyShell cases have almost no bulk, keeping your iPhone nearly as thin as they’d be without cases. And the latest clear CandyShell lets you see your iPhone 6s/6s Plus’s colors through an all-new design, available for the first time for both 4.7″ and 5.5″ iPhone sizes.

Apple’s introduction of multi-touch input on the original iPhone completely changed the way that we interact with our devices. Movements like pinch-to-zoom and now Force Touch have become engrained into the technology experience.

Last week, Jaybird released the latest rendition of its Bluetooth earbuds: the X2. We positively reviewed this new set as “simply amazing” and a “dream to use”. This week, we’ve partnered with Jaybird to giveaway a pair of Ice X2’s to our readers.
Head below for full details on Jaybird’s latest set of earbuds and how you can win a pair for yourself.
Amazon is offering the titanium-colored version of Apple’s Beats Studio Wireless headphones for only $229.99 shipped. That’s around 40% off of the original $380 price, and the best we’ve ever seen for this particular premium metallic colorway. Seven other colors are currently available for $255 and up, with gold at $255 and metallic sky at $275.
As an avid bike rider, I love to have a pair of Bluetooth in-ear headphones with me while I ride. Now that many wireless headphones (BT 4.0+) can connect to Apple Watch during workouts, it’s even handier than ever. One of the biggest worries about using in-ear headphones is that it’s difficult to hear noise around you when the music is cranked up. During outdoor physical activities, like biking down a country road for example, it can be difficult to hear oncoming traffic that may pose a risk to your safety.
That’s where AfterShokz: Trekz come in. This new Indiegogo campaign has developed a set of bone conducting in-ear headphones that keep your ear canals open but the music pumping. This project caught our eye, having already raised over 200% of its funding goal in just 24 hours.

Flasks have always been cool. They’re symbols of mischief, designed solely to carry and conceal mysterious drinks — the only beverage container that whispers “adults only” before quietly disappearing back in your pocket. That’s why iHome’s new SoundFlask is such an ingenious idea for a powerful, pocket-sized speaker system. It looks naughty, but plays nice with any Bluetooth audio device you may have — iOS, Apple Watch, Android, or computer.
Equipped with two speakers, a microphone, and a rechargeable battery, SoundFlask is built to deliver much louder sound than whichever device you’ve paired with it. If you don’t want to sneak it into a pocket, you can wear it with an included case. Think it’s the ideal speaker for you, or a great gift for someone you know? Below, we’ll show off the SoundFlask, and give you a great deal if you order one right now…

Back in March we were introduced to Olio’s Connected Timepiece, the brain child of former Beats by Dre and Google product designer Steve Jacobs. Since then, this Apple Watch competitor has enjoyed monstrous success as it sold out of its entire first run of watches.
These high-end devices were thoughtfully crafted to curate the myriad of notifications that come from iPhone and Androids so users aren’t bombarded with a constant stream of distractions. This unique design delivers an individualized “personal assistant” experience.
Today, gadgetnewsonline is happy to announce that we’ve partnered with Olio to giveaway one of its gorgeous Black Collection timepieces, valued at $795. Head below to find out how you can enter to win it.
Outside of adding more megapixels and upping resolution, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to improve on action cameras. GoPro has been out front of the pack for awhile with 4K video and ultra-compact options that fill the needs for most consumers. So when it comes to innovation, the best target for new entries into the marketplace is software. iOS connectivity is a must and most consumers just want to record their moments and have it instantly edited with automatic backup for later.
Enter Graava. Instead of leaning hard on technical specifications, it wants to simplify the video recording process down to the touch of a button. Its programers have modeled it after the human brain, focusing on sensory changes like sound or vision and even heart rate to capture the most important moments.

There are plenty of options out there for powering your iPhone or iPad. But sometimes a plain old white or black cable won’t do the job. If you’re in need of some more style, we’ve rounded up the best (and coolest) looking Apple-certified MFi Lightning cables out there. We have highlighted many different manufacturers that use a variety of materials such as fabric, leather and nylon to deliver a unique look to help you standout from the crowd. Head below for our top picks.
Sewell’s Luminid Touch and Flash MFi Lightning Cable has an ingenious feature: its Lightning connector tip has a built-in capacitive touch LED light. Illumination starts as soon as you touch it and turns off right when you remove your finger. This bit of light helps you plug-in your iPhone to charge or sync in the dark.
We’ve hooked up with Sewell to bring gadgetnewsonline readers an exclusive 20% discount. Add the Luminid Touch and Flash MFi Lightning Cable to your Amazon shopping cart and apply coupon code YF8R62H8 to drop your total price to $13.56 Prime shipped (Reg. $16.95).

Four million. That seems like a lot of anything. Canon has introduced a new multi-purpose camera that has an ISO capable of hitting that number. But what does that do? Well, for starters it means that videographers and photographers can capture content in almost complete darkness.

You can also use the app to create a bootable secondary hard drive for emergency use, and customize the appearance of drives and folders for easier recognition. Drive Genius offers the features of apps twice its price (I’m looking at you, DiskWarrior), and it is standard issue for Apple Geniuses.

When the Lightning connecter was originally revealed alongside iPhone 5 back in 2012, Apple singled out its reversibility as a major feature.

That’s when Sewell’s ingenious Lightning cable comes in handy…

Unlike most App Store promos, Apple has now quietly kicked off one the largest iOS game/app sales we have seen this year. The news comes courtesy of participating app developer Readdle.
The sale includes 100 apps and games at “new low prices”, most of which are $0.99. While we have posted some of these titles over the past week in our daily/game app roundups, this is the first time they’ve all appeared together in one giant sale. Now is your chance to fill up your app library, as we are seeing all-time lows on games, productivity apps, photography apps and much more.
A couple standouts are Pixelmator (Reg. $5), GoodReader (Reg. $5), The Room Two (Reg. $3), Rayman Jungle Run (Reg. $3), BADLAND (Reg. $4), Real Racing (Reg. $5), Angry Birds titles, and well, far too many to mention here. Not even including the insanely popular Angry Birds games, just these apps alone combine for a 4+ star rating from 100,000 reviews.
If there is still a couple apps you can’t find in this sale, then be sure to hit our daily roundups for even more discounted options and the new Free App of the Week. You’ll also find Screenium 3 on Mac for 50% off (Reg. $50) for a limited time.

However, you soon make progress, learning your way around Apple’s Xcode app and the features of iOS 9. You can then move on to iCloud integration, setting up notifications, and using the new stackView and AVAudioRecorder classes.
The format is step-by-step video instruction, followed by an assignment to test out your new skills. All together, there are ten functioning apps to build.
