downtimegadgets 96 November 2013 www.bahrainthismonth.com What’s That Sound? This month, all the noise is about gizmos that enhance your listening experience. We’ve also spotted a number of quirky pieces to add to your home. Old-school tunes The Marshall Stanmore Speaker has been designed to connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth. It has a vintage look, gold details, iconic gold piping and a script logo. The Stanmore is right at home with the rest of the Marshall collection. Something old; something new With the Jukebox Dock Bluetooth, you will be able to party as though it is 1946. However, it will feature some modern ideas thanks to an integrated USB port that allows you to power up your device whenever the battery runs low on juice. Made for everyone Are you in the market for a new notebook? Relax with your favourite music, write a report in Google Docs or put the finishing touches on a family video with the HP Chromebook 11. It has six hours of battery life, slips easily into a bag or purse, and weighs just over two pounds. The real deal The Nest Protect is a smoke and carbon monoxide detector that will give you warnings in a human voice as to what’s going on in your house. If you have a number of them, it can tell you which room has smoke in it. An LED ring will change colour according to the situation. Fitness tracking The new Nike+ FuelBand SE is equipped with battery-saving Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, colourful inside finishes (available in yellow, pink or red), a handy double tap to reveal the time function as well as the ability to track your sleep patterns.
