Milano – November 24, 2015 – V-MODA, the award-winning maker of the world’s finest high-fidelity audio devices, is thrilled to announce the availability of their headphones lineup at InMotion Entertainment retail stores located in major airports nationwide. Globetrotting audiophiles looking for high-quality audio accessories are now able to find V-MODA’s Crossfade Wireless, Crossfade M-100, XS, and Crossfade LP2 at the country’s largest electronics airport retailer.

“V-MODA headphones are the must-have travel companion for audiophiles and music lovers alike,” says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO. “Our headphones offer incredible audio, noise-isolation, ExoSkeleton travel cases and performance that elevates your travel experience beyond first class.”

“We are excited to showcase V-MODA headphones in our retail locations throughout the US,” states Eden Goldberg, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development of InMotion Entertainment Group, LLC.  “We are eager to present the premium headphone collection to our discerning customers.”

Leading the lineup is V-MODA’s all new Crossfade Wireless over-ear headphones. They are the most advanced model to date, boasting virtually identical sound quality in both analog and wireless playback. Its patent-pending dual-diaphragm 50mm drivers are a refined version of the award-winning Crossfade M-100. Master crafted materials and memory foam earpads provides superb natural noise-isolation (-15dB) to cut unwanted noises without the hiss or pollution of ANC. From one plane to another, effortlessly pair the Crossfade Wireless to two devices at the same time, such as your laptop and tablet or laptop and smartphone. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous music, entertainment and calls. Running out of juice won’t be a problem, simply connect your cable to the Crossfade Wireless and enjoy music in pure analog mode.

Next on deck is the first crowdsourced headphone and winner of 18 editors’ choice awards, the Crossfade M-100 over-ear headphones. Designed by a collective brain trust of audiophiles, editors, producers and DJs to bring to life the most versatile headphones for the modern music aficionados. The Crossfade M-100 is endorsed by Roland to be the best experience for the legendary drum kit and bassline sounds that are the building blocks of most modern music. Their versatility is unrivaled as they have been voted 2013 and 2014 “Best DJ Headphone” by both CNET and DJ Mag as well as the best gaming PC gaming enthusiast headphone by IGN.

Incredibly detailed sound quality for AIRA owners

Milano – November 19, 2015 – Designed and built by V-MODA in collaboration with Roland, the M-100 AIRA boasts the sound quality and styling of the acclaimed V-MODA Crossfade M-100 over-ear headphones with the AIRA logo customised on each shield, along with AIRA-green chevrons on the headband.

After a successful crowdsourcing project, V-MODA’s Crossfade M-100 ranks among the most highly regarded headphones in the world, with 18 editors’ choice awards and “Best DJ Headphones” naming rights by both DJ Mag and CNET. The M-100 headphones are also worn by 36% of Top 100 DJs, as polled by DJ Mag. The AIRA edition includes all of the M-100’s superior features, specifications, and more.

Designed in Italy, the M-100 AIRA headphones features XL memory foam ear cushions (with 30% increase in inner diameter, twice the depth and 55% increase in volume) for optimum comfort and sound isolation. With its patent-pending dual-diaphragm 50mm drivers, 5-30,000Hz frequency response and incredible dynamic range, the M-100 AIRA give the most accurate representation possible of music genres ranging from club to classical.

Developed with musicians, producers and DJs in mind, the M-100 AIRA feature an exclusive heavy-duty 2 meter cable that incorporates a secure and highly stable locking mechanism. An extra SharePlay™ extended audio cable with built-in 3.5mm jack that allows two headphones to share the same audio source is included in each package.

Crucially, the M-100 AIRA enables users of Roland’s AIRA range of instruments and effects to hear and feel every detail of their performance on stage or in the studio, from the deepest subs of the TR-8 drum machine to the most piercing screams of the TB-3 synth.

The Crossfade M-100 AIRA is extremely roadworthy thanks to its steel-frame construction, metal CliqFold™ hinges and exclusive gig-ready AIRA edition travel case for storage of the headphones and its accessories.

Roland’s Atsuo Yukawa, Senior Executive Officer and RPG Company President, commented, “After testing countless headphones for the ultimate pair that accurately represented the music we created, we found V-MODA’s Crossfade M-100. We’re immensely proud of the M-100 AIRA headphones, released in conjunction with V-MODA. A true audiophile-quality personal monitoring system for AIRA users that looks as good as it sounds, it’s the ultimate music production accessory.”

V-MODA’s Val Kolton, CEO and Founder, commented, “As a producer and performer at heart, I’ve had the opportunity to fine-tune our headphones using Roland’s legendary instruments. Not only did the TR-808, TR-909, and TB-303 lay the framework of modern dance and hip-hop music but they set the standard for V-MODA acoustics. It is an honor that our worlds have collided after independently discovering that our headphones and Roland instruments are perfectly matched at every frequency. Together with Roland’s legendary musical development and V-MODA’s accurate representation of each sound’s integrity, we fuel the ‘artists behind the artists’.”

Reykjavík, ICELAND

[YouTube] Secret Solstice Festival 2015 – Official Aftermovie: Watch now!
[YouTube] The World’s First Party Inside A Glacier – Watch here!

The third annual Secret Solstice Festival will take place in Iceland on June 17-19, 2016. Set during the summer solstice weekend, the sun never sets over the entire festival weekend, bathing the city of Reykjavík and revelers in perpetual daylight for 72 hours straight for the “most unique festival on Earth.”

Come experience a stellar musical lineup against the backdrop of Iceland’s stunning natural beauty and explore the rugged Nordic landscape with “midnight sun“ cruises, geothermal pool parties, and the world’s only party inside a glacier. This is a festival destination like no other for all music lovers and adventure seekers.

The initial lineup announcement includes Iceland’s own Of Monsters and Men returning to perform in the midnight sun. They are joined by Kerri Chandler, Deetron, Amabadama, Högni Egilsson, and Lady Leshurr, with over a hundred more artists to be announced.

Besides the stellar musical lineup it’s the unique concept of the event and location that draws flocks of international festival-goers to Iceland the last two years for Secret Solstice festival.  In addition to the main festival event there will be a host of side parties that Secret Solstice will be building on from their previous success and brought back by popular demand. Guests will be able to sail out into the Atlantic Ocean for “Midnight Sun” boat parties while the sun is still up after midnight, enjoy DJ sets while chilling out in a volcano-powered geothermal pool, among other yet-to-be-announced add-on events.

Last year, Secret Solstice festival was the first event on the planet to host a party inside a glacier. This year they’ve doubled down with two ultra-exclusive Into The Glacier parties inside the Langjökull glacier, the second largest in Iceland and Europe. Journey inside a mile-long tunnel carved from 10,000 year-old ice to experience a once-in-a-lifetime party in the world’s largest man-made ice cave. Each event will have a slightly different vibe, a DJ set by a world-famous electronic act on Saturday, June 18, and an acoustic set by a prominent Icelandic artist on Sunday, June 19. Only 100 tickets are available for each intimate show and both are expected to sell out.

Start planning now for the festival experience of a lifetime. Over a dozen airlines now fly direct to Iceland from North America and Europe for easy access. The festival is also conveniently located in the center of Reykjavík city within walking distance to all major hotels, hostels, and Airbnb accommodations. For more info on travel packages, go here.

Limited earlybird tickets are available now while supplies last at 15,900kr (approx. $126 USD). For those wanting to stay as close as possible to the action, camping is available for just 9,900kr (approx. $76 USD).  For ticketing info, go here.

In total over 125 acts will be announced for 2016, with the first official lineup announcement below. Watch the Secret Solstice 2016 – First Lineup Announcement here.

REDMOND, Wash – Kinivo, the creator of lifestyle consumer electronics designed to simplify daily life, today announces their new Premium Bluetooth Sport Headphones (BTH260). Style meets performance with a cool metallic finish and water-resistant materials that repel sweat and moisture during the most intense workouts. The Bluetooth Sport Headphones easily fit in your gym or travel bag and can help you get a workout in, wherever you are – at the gym or traveling to visit friends and family this season. They unleash rich, clear tones and include a comfortable and secure design that makes it easy to enjoy music hands-free while you go for a run, lift weights, hike, or squeeze in some squats in your hotel room. The Kinivo BTH260 is available today on Kinivo.com for a special introductory price of $44.99.

Since keeping your fitness going through the winter is important, Kinivo is also here to provide you with helpful gear and fitness tips to keep you motivated this holiday season.

Kinivo’s Five Tips for Holiday Fitness:

1. Make healthy food swaps like sweet potatoes instead of candied yams. Also light meat is better than dark.
2. Remember, liquid calories count too. Skip high calorie alcoholic drinks and go for a wine spritzer instead.
3. Make it a potluck dinner and bring your own dish to easily control what you’re eating.
4. Make sure to get 30 minutes of daily activity. Hit the ground running with your Kinivo Premium Bluetooth Sport Headphones so you can jam out to your favorite tunes and get your blood pumping. If you can’t make it outside, pack portable workout equipment like a jump rope for a quick fitness fix.

5. Holidays can be stressful. Spend 10 minutes alone with your Kinivo Premium Bluetooth Sport Headphones to decompress by listening to guided meditations and tranquil tunes to calm yourself and escape from the hectic holiday season.

“The BTH260 Premium Bluetooth Sport Headphones are the perfect piece of gear for the fitness fanatic who wants to stay fit this winter and enhance their workouts with great music, wherever they are,” said Raj Srivastava, Kinivo’s Chief Of Operations. “We focused on the intersection of style and performance. We created a sweat-proof design that wouldn’t slip off during the most intense workouts while still delivering powerful and rich high-quality sound with amazing clarity and deep bass.”

The BTH260 Premium Bluetooth Sport Headphones feature a sturdy behind-the-neck design that Kinivo customers have come to love in the Kinivo BTH240 headphones (4.2 stars and more than 3,000 reviews on Amazon.com). This feature ensures they won’t slip while working out, so you never miss a beat. They also feature a noise-canceling microphone for hands-free calling functionality so you can stay connected while working out.

Features: 

• Easy hands-free operation
• Bluetooth 4.0 streaming and calling capabilities with noise-canceling microphone
• Supports Apt-X CD-quality sound
• Incredibly long-lasting (25 hours) rechargeable battery

The first in-ear headphones released by V-MODA in four years capture the elements of music via high resolution audio

Milano – November IV, 2015 – V-MODA, the award-winning maker of the world’s finest high-fidelity audio devices, unleashes the all-new Zn in-ear headphones, offering unrivaled sound quality and unmatched durability in an elegant Italian design for the modern and mobile audiophile.

The limited edition Zn (zinc element symbol) has been tuned to exceed V-MODA’s relentless standards that has won over 24 editors’ choice awards on its previous two wired headphones. Zn is packed with luxurious yet impossibly durable materials designed to produce the best headphones in its class.

Every Zn component is carefully selected and vigorously tested for the passion of audio. The core is the outstanding 8mm dynamic driver that boosts tonal accuracy with very low distortion.

V-MODA used a futuristic technology for Zn’s metal housing: a zinc alloy, casted by a patented process, which allows for unique shapes (versus ordinary circles) and microscopic precision necessary for consistent acoustic quality. Zinc has a unique hardness and resonance nature to deliver a balanced sound over other commonly used materials. The touch and feel is balanced to be both machine-like solid and lightweight sleek.

The acoustic filters, installed between the driver and the housing that control the airflow mechanics, are the gatekeepers of golden acoustics; these “made in Italy” filters are from a limited supply, making Zn even more unique as a design and performance stalwart.

The Zn is organically tuned to appeal to fans of all musical genres, especially modern audiophiles who want headphones engineered for their tastes.

“V-MODA’s Zn is versatile enough to be your everyday driver or runner,” says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO “Audiophile headphones lack microphone or sport features while casual and sport headphones sacrifice sound. The new Zn are our most versatile and greatest audiophile-grade in-ear headphones. They were benchmarked to outperform models ranging from $300 to over $1000.”

Trusted Sound, Unparalleled Comfort

The master crafted materials ensure the Zn will fit and serenade any pair of ears. Four ergonomic sizes of patented BLISS 3.0 (Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicone) buds naturally block out background noise, isolating the audio to enable tighter bass for the best fit, stability and sound. The V-PORT airflow system mechanics has been finely optimized for a 3D soundstage and to bring out subtle sounds not heard through run-of-the-mill headphones.

The Zn increase the midrange to enhance clarity with lifelike vocals and resonating instruments that make music sound the way artists, instruments and sound engineers imagined. The 8mm dynamic driver is tuned to do this across any genre, thanks to a wide frequency band and impossibly low distortion (<0.5dB). The left and right drivers have also been “hand-picked”, like reserve fine wine, to complement the human hearing limit variance (+/- 2dB).

The DiamondBack™ cable is absolutely alluring and impossible to get into a tangled mess. Up to 20x stronger than the industry average, it’s reinforced with Kevlar to give it a serious edge. The 3-Button SpeakEasy™ Remote Mic for Apple iOS (or 1-Button SpeakEasy Remote Mic for Android) includes a high-sensitivity microphone for crystal-clear phone calls, plus controls to manage playback without touching a smartphone or music player. Play/pause, skip or go back a track with ease. Hold it down to command Siri, Google Now or Cortana and record voice memos or audio messages on the fly.

Universally Compatible

The SpeakEasy Remote Mic, available in both 3-Button or 1-Button models, work with virtually all smartphones, tablets, computers and audio players. Apple products, as well as Samsung devices and Amazon Kindles are fully compatible. Any devices running iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry or Kindle, plus Mac and Windows PC, can utilize the onboard mic. Perfect for anything from hands-free phone calls, gaming, Skype video chats and dictation.

The included remote for the 3-Button model has a wide range of Apple compatibility to also control the volume: iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod shuffle (3rd gen and newer), iPod touch (2nd gen and newer), iPod nano (4th gen and newer), 120GB iPod classic as well as MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac and Mac Pro (2009 and newer models).

Sport Versatility and Durability

The patented ActiveFlex™ sport earhooks are seamlessly integrated when listening to music during a long run or tough workout at the gym. The DiamondBack cable’s sturdy build adds to the feeling of confidence that the Zn can keep up and stay hooked onto you no matter what duty calls.

As is paramount for any V-MODA product, the Zn has been built to withstand the unexpected. Tested beyond military-level standards MIL-STD-105, V-MODA’s new in-ear headphones can bear extreme environmental conditions like high and low temperatures, humidity and UV exposure. The all-metal construction of the headphones and the y-connector provides a rugged feeling enhanced by the Kevlar-reinforced DiamondBack cable, presenting unmatched strength and durability (20x more than industry standard).

Availability & Pricing 

The all-new V-MODA Zn with 3-Button SpeakEasy Remote Mic are available now at V-MODA.com/Zn with an MSRP of $180. The Zn with 1-Button SpeakEasy Remote Mic will be available soon.

Each Zn purchased from a verified reseller is backed by a 1-Year V-MODA premier warranty. In the unlikely event customers run over their headphones with a tank, with the V-MODA Immortal Life Program they can get 50% off a replacement for a lifetime. V-MODA is so confident the Zn are superior headphones, it even offers an unrivaled 60-Day test drive guarantee.

 Alberta, CANADA, October 15, 2015 — Focal^®, a leading French speaker manufacturer, today announces the company’s new 300 Series of in-wall / in-ceiling speakers (ICW).  Featuring the company’s signature sound profile, the 300 Series uses a Flax sandwich cone in a two-way configuration that delivers a natural sound and incredible definition. There are three new models in the 300 Series ICW speaker lineup, an 8-inch, 6-inch model and 4-inch model; the 300ICW-8, 300ICW-6 and 300ICW-4 respectively that maintain Focal’s historic acoustic signature, referred to as the “Spirit of Sound.”

“From an aesthetics perspective, there is nothing quite like the experience consumers get from a great pair of in-wall or in-ceiling speakers that disappear in the space, but yet provide room-filling sound,” said Ben Jensen, president of Focal North America. “However, one of the most frustrating items with this category has always been the installation. We expect that anyone that has previously installed in-wall speakers will be delighted with how easy our new installation system has become, while those that have never before done so, will not have any challenges either.”

The two new models in the 300 Series were created with both music lovers and home theater lovers in mind and can be used both as a stand-alone hi-fi system with two or more speakers or in combination with already installed products as the front, rear or center channel speakers in a multi-speaker setup.

New to the 300 Series, Focal has completely redesigned the method for installation with its Easy Quick Install (EQI) system, making it incredibly easy for users to install the products without any tools required after the initial hole is cut in the wall or ceiling. Each model in the 300 Series has a mechanism, composed of two parts, a mounting frame and the loudspeaker.  The mounting frame is fixed to the wall or ceiling using mounting brackets. These have a benefit of being able to manipulate them with one hand and once fixed in place, the loudspeaker can be quickly attached to the mounting frame with a quarter-turn locking mechanism.

For convenience, all three models will ship with both a square and circular magnetic grille in order to blend into any design in the home in a discrete and elegant manner.  Additionally, the 300ICW-8 and 300ICW-6include a three-position corrector switch to equalize treble according to the room’s acoustics (-3dB, 0dB, +3dB).

These models are ideal companions to today’s leading A/V Receivers that have immersive audio codecs including Dolby Atmos^®, DTS: X Surround and Auro-3-D which rely on speakers mounted higher up in the wall or ceiling.

Additionally, models in the 300 Series have an inherent advantage built-in compared to other ICW models, with the shallow installation depth required, ranging from 3.75” for the 300ICW-4 to 5.12” for the 300ICW-8.

The new 300 Series is currently available from retail and online partners for the suggested retail price of $799.00 USD ea. (300ICW-8), $699.00 USD ea. (300ICW-6), $599.00 USD ea. (300ICW-4). For more information, please visit, http://www.focal.com/en/358-300-series.

All that is needed for users to get started is a PC or Mac® with a free USB port to connect the controller, speakers plugged in to the computer and audio files  to begin mixing and scratching.

For the added benefit of portability, DJControl Glow can be carried nearly anywhere, weighing just over two pounds (2.2 lbs.) and measuring 7.5 by 10.4 inches.

DJUCED™ 18°, the complete mixing software, is included with the controller. Highly intuitive to use, it lets you quickly master all the basic skills that any DJ needs to know – including setting Cue points, syncing two different tracks, creating loops, and saving your mixes.

Hercules DJControl Compact is currently available at a suggested retail price of $79.99. For more information, please visit: www.hercules.com.

Miami, FL – September 22, 2015 – Always Right Cord, the newest entry into the reversible cable market, launches the company’s namesake product on Kickstarter today. Featuring a plastic-coated cable covered in durable nylon material and aluminum connectors with gold-plated contacts, Always Right Cord not only offers the convenience of a reversible cable but offers the strength to last the test of time.

Over the past five years, Micro-USB (USB 2.0 Type-B) has become the standard interface for non-Apple devices – from smartphones and tablets to 2-in-1 tablet/computers, GPS devices, digital cameras, wireless headphones and more.

Functionally, Micro-USB typically works without any flaws, however from an ease-of-use stand point, this interface comes with many frustrations. As both Micro-USB and the larger Type-A connector only fit into their respective port in one direction, users have to pay attention when plugging in the cable, causing potential damage to a device if rushed or forced in.

While mobile users might keep one cable at home and another at work, they likely have one in a purse, briefcase, backpack, or just rolled up in a pocket to connect to an external battery charger while on the go — and for these, durability is important. Where other cables may fray or fall apart after a short period of time, Always Right Cord is built to last.

For Apple iOS® device users, the already reversible Lightning connector is paired with the larger Type-A USB giving those consumers a dual-sided, reversible Apple Lightning cable as well.

Always Right Cord’s Current Kickstarter rewards:

The Always Right Cord will be available starting as low as $8 for the first 250 backers and $10 for unlimited backers for the rest of the campaign. Packages of the Always Right Cord start at $19 for two; $28 for a three-pack; $45 for a “Family Pack” of five cables; Master Package of 10 cables for $80; or $800 for a Distributor Pack of 100 units.

After launching on Monday, the campaign was quickly funded and is currently at $6,238, or 124% funding of its $5,000 goal.
