Zalman CES 2014 - BlueTooth Audio HPS10BT, Z15 Case and Signal Booster

2014-01-13
your hard work noxious 2014 coverage is brought to you by and say x-com technology connected alright moving on to audio here at Zaman booth at CES 2014 they are coming into the living room with this sound bar system so it's it's a very slim system probably be attached either I guess yeah underneath your TV it also comes with a subwoofer here the sound bar in total is a hundred watt system so it has 225 watt stereo speakers in the sound bar itself and this is a 50 watt sub so that's you know we would provide you with a lot of power in your sort of like home home environment it impressive features about this thing aside from very nice aluminum construction is very slim design I do like this it has bluetooth enabled so you can come home from your work you can simply pair this up with a sound bar and you can listen to your tunes that way instead of just listening to your music sort of in your conventional methods this has NFC enabled which means you can if you have an NFC enabled mobile phone you can simply start up by simply tapping the the center of the sound bar and it will be automatically connected so you're ready to go and you can start listening to your tunes so a cool little product here from Zaman the sound bar I believe would be competition-wise the Samsung and other companies produce similar products but they do cost around you know just under $1000 where we're given around the $200 price tag for this one so very excited to see what type of sound quality we can get from this but moving off to another one is this bluetooth headphone so let's go around here so we have both the black and a white version so they're they're a little very kind of low-profile nothing flashy very simple design very elegant so on the right side we have play pause we can switch tracks we have audio sorry volume rocker and there's also the LED that flashes when pairing so a little police car right on your on your side of the year there's nothing on this side there of course adjustable for the type of size of your head and this sort of one piece headband design I do like this I have tried them on and they are very comfortable actually so as you can see they're very profile and if I put them on they do feel comfortable there there's not too much sort of pressure on your ear so for in-flight and sort of your for your travel purposes this Bluetooth headset will be very attractive and then listen to it a little bit and they sound very nice in the mint and the high-end the bass is very kind of muddy and so but you know what this is sort of expected because this is a $69 product from Ana's bluetooth so you're not really expected the amazing sound quality but for again portable purposes this is awesome one more thing to mention guys so at the bottom here this is a micro USB port for charging and as you can see there's that little microphone there so you can pick up a call while wearing the headphone all right Zaman is also known for making cases and this is one of their newest releases this is the Z 15 and it does incorporate a few unique features that we are gonna take a look in in a moment so one of the first things that we of course notice on the top here is this sort of control system so we have three fan control knobs controlling your front rear and top fan speeds and we have obviously USB 2 and USB 3 ports a headphone jack recent power button but very unique feature as you can see here this is your temperature knob so there's an actual sensor that is included with the case that isn't actually installed right now inside and we'll show you the temperature of that note so you can sort of monitor the temperature but this sort of sensor is very useful because they have this auto ventilation system enabled and right now here it's set on auto there's a little switch here that you can switch to manual and what we'll do is we'll open up two vents the top so it will allow this air to escape so very aggressive design from Zalman and you also can while it's in manual mode you can close it or you can open it but while it's an auto if the internal temperatures range 35 degrees this actually will open up automatically so you can set it up to 35 or 45 degrees to open up to allow more air to to escape so coming in through to sort of on to the inside this is an ATX design so sort of a very standard models we have in your hard drive cages that are removable fan fan fan mounts in the front ATX board and now the fan the back dual dust roasted at the bottom for your power supply and optional fan mounts if you do wants to remove the entire hard drive cages to install some water cooling also another thing that we want to mention about the front is this fact so you can push on this lever here and it will open up a little bit extra clearance here for that front fan so again giving us that aggressive design unfortunately well there is no dust filter but it is sort of a mesh so it will prevent from sort of dust buildup in a way but here this is the z15 from Zalman very unique I do like this innovative control feature and auto ventilation system perhaps not as not as in needed in the sense that you know you could have a potentially open design but with these guys closed it is a more silent system so that's exactly if you're going for that we have both silent and air airflow options here with a z15 okay guys so now we're gonna take a look at some pretty cool little options from Zalman that we haven't really seen on the market and that's an OD D enclosure now one of the really cool things about this is that you can load up your image files and select which image you would like to put on to your system and it would automatically detect as if it was an actual physical CD so you can have multiple different images whether it's an OS movies and and basically any type of software that you want to install on the system you can use this now the one right next to it is the ve 400 which actually has an encryption system in it which is why you can see the number pad but you can select which image you want to burn or install using the directional buttons over here now if we go a little bit to the left we're going to take a look at another really innovative product which is the smart antenna for the iPhone 5 or 5s and the Samsung Galaxy s4 in order for this to work it has to make direct contact to the back of the phone but it can improve signal performance by 30% as well as reducing or increasing your battery life because it doesn't actually have to seek as hard for your signal so this is a great little option and actually does have some health impacts haven't actually been verified yet but I'm sure that it does have a reduces radiation because the signal is there the system or a year antenna is not seeking or searching as hard for a signal so the way that you actually apply this antenna boosters by sticking it onto the back of a case as they have done here so it doesn't actually have to stick on to your phone itself you can remove the case if you want to buy multiple of these so you could actually have them in your different colors of cases but it still improves performance by making it like I said earlier direct contact with the device that you're using so next we have the wireless HDD and power bank now there are other Wireless HDD systems on the market this isn't new but one of the competitive advantages that Zalman has right now is the fact that they have included a power bank into the device so you can actually have your data and images and files shared amongst all your friends wirelessly and you can also charge your phone using the included power bank
