Samsung’s 3D Blu-ray Player Available for Preorder

By Dena Cassella January 28, 2010

The new technologies presented at CES 2010 are slowly but surely becoming available to consumers. Samsung’s new 2010 Blu-ray players, featuring Internet@TV and Samsung Apps, are now currently available for preorder—including Samsung’s 3D-enabled BD-C6900 which just popped up on Amazon.com for $399. Last time we checked, Amazon claimed it was out of stock of the new 3D player. Samsung says its BD-C6900 Blu-ray player is compatible with the 3D Blu-ray standard, and Samsung’s own 3D displays.

Samsung has also priced its BD-C7500 at $399.99, while the BD-C6500 should be retailing for $299—unfortunately, both are 2D. We’ll keep checking back with Amazon to see when these new products are available and in-stock.

3D-printed eartips could mean way more comfortable and better-sounding earbuds

Formlabs 3D-printed eartips

Formlabs, a 3D printing company, today announced a partnership with Sennheiser's Ambeo division to create a way for those of us at home to order earbuds that come from the factory with custom, 3D-printed eartips that match the shape and contours of our ears.

Custom eartips that don't require a trip to the audiologist, or a highly specialized, one-off fitting system like the Sonomax Eers, could be a very big deal, especially if it doesn't add a lot of cost to the price of a set of earbuds.
