Harmon Kardon has pumped out a new surround bar called the SB 16 home theater soundbar system. We’re all familiar with surround bars and what they intend to accomplish (produce decent quality sound without the hassle of a full surround speaker array). Why Harmon Kardon? Well, really I don’t know other than I have been a fan of their products for a good many years now and the SB 16 sits right in the middle price range for surround bars at a suggested retail of $599.99.

The House of Marley has released a large line of audio products at CES 2011, including headphones, earbuds and ipod dock speaker systems. All the products are designed with Bob Marley’s philosophy in mind and are made with eco-friendly wood and aluminum pieces, giving a very unique style.
The colorful designs caught my attention the most and the construction quality seems quite good. Most of the product are pretty affordable for most with the Smile Jamaica earbuds starting at $29 and the over-the-ear phone starting at $59. The Roots Rock bomb box will retail for $249 and the flagship speaker dock, One Foundation will be a whopping $499, but if the sound is as good as it looks they may be worth the extra coin. More in the press release after the break. [click to continue…]

Logitech is throwing out another THX certified speaker set. This 2.1 system is called Z623 and delivers 200 watts so it is large enough to sit next to a TV and deliver ample volume, but not so large that it can’t be used at a computer. THX doesn’t hand out their certification to just any speaker. A stringent performance standard must be met in order to qualify, so you can be sure that you’ll get good quality sound. If you’ve ever been to a THX certified theater, you know the kind of sound reproduction that THX demands.
The Logitech Z623 should be easy to connect to any computer, TV, music or video player with RCA and 3.5mm inputs. The Z623 is scheduled to be available in the U.S. and Europe in September for a suggested retail price of $149.99
