Panasonic’s 2013 Speaker Dock line up

By Drew Prindle January 8, 2013

In addition to their introduction of a fresh set of earbuds and over-ear headphones, Panasonic has revealed a brand new lineup of six new speaker docks, as well as one tablet prop. All of the systems will be capable of streaming your tunes wirelessly via Bluetooth, and certain models also support AirPlay and DLNA. They’ll also come with standard USB and legacy ports for wired connectivity.

The best part is you won’t have to wait all year just to get your hands on one — all of these docks will be available in March, and the NP10 tablet prop is likely to be released just a month later in April. Pricing details have yet to be announced, but we suspect that information will surface soon.

There are plenty of reasons why everyone wants to get their hands on anything Apple. Despite being a wee bit expensive, Apple devices scream luxury and high quality and are extremely user-friendly. Luckily, we were able to spot a couple of Apple deals at Amazon and Verizon that you wouldn't dare miss. Get the Apple AirPods Pro and iPad Mini today for as low as $220.
Apple AirPods Pro
— $220, was $250

Thinking of upgrading to the AirPods Pro but not sure if they're worth it? Don't worry. They're absolutely the best true wireless earbuds to get for iOS users, delivering tremendous improvement in sound quality, active noise cancellation, sweat-resistance, and a more ergonomic fit. The AirPods Pro are no longer in danger of falling off of your ears. That's because they're now attachable to three pairs of differently sized silicone eartips that guarantee you'll find the snuggest yet most comfortable fit. The touch controls remain ridiculously easy to operate. A simple tap on the one of the AirPods would allow you to play/pause music or activate/deactivate noise canceling (the best we've encountered on a pair of true wireless earbuds). Siri also remains on board so you can summon her to skip songs on your playlist, adjust the volume, or ask her any question. Battery life remained unchanged, though, a middling 4-5 hours on a single charge. An IPX4 rating ensures you can take these to the gym without having to worry they'd get damaged. Finally, Apple's new H1 chip has noticeably improved sound quality. These AirPods no longer sound bland, and now offer a distinct emphasis on vocals and bass that's absolutely divine. Get the AirPods Pro at Verizon today for just $220 instead of the usual $250.

We track online retailers all the time and we're already seeing plenty of early Labor Day sales that are ripe for the picking. Right now, Amazon and Best Buy have the Apple AirPods Pro andApple iPad Mini on sale for as cheap as $220. Discounts on Apple devices are quite rare so if I were you, I'd take advantage of these deals quickly because they may soon be gone.
Apple AirPods Pro
— $220, was $249

If you're planning to get yourself a pair of true wireless earbuds for your iOS device, it's best to get the AirPods Pro instead of the original ones with the wireless charging case. For just $50 more, you get an ocean of difference in terms of sound performance and call quality. You also get a customizable fit, sweat-resistance, and active noise cancellation – all of which are sorely missing in the standard AirPods. Let's start with how well the AirPods Pro fit. You get three sets of interchangeable soft silicone eartips that will stay put in your ears no matter how much you move. Don't get us wrong, the original AirPods were very comfortable as well but they were just one size and had the annoying tendency to keep falling off. Gym rats and other health aficionados will also appreciate the AirPods Pros' IPX4 water resistance. These are the buds that you can confidently take to the gym without having to worry that they'll be damaged (just remember to take them off before you shower). Apple's latest H1 chip that's embedded in each AirPod has immensely improved sound and call quality. You'll definitely hear the difference especially if you're upgrading from the original AirPods. Finally, noise-canceling is superb, almost as good as over-ear headphones. The AirPods Pro are shockingly good and a huge win for Apple. Get them at Amazon today for just $220 instead of the usual $249.
