This week’s roundup of accessories includes two devices that expand the memory of your iPhone and iPad. Read on!
Sine Headphones ($499 MSRP) are billed as being the “world’s first on-ear planar magnetic headphone.” What does that mean? “Instead of using ordinary dynamic drivers, our planar technology gives you a sound that’s punchy, dynamic, and detailed,” Audeze claims. The headphones come in premium leather, and include a built-in microphone for your iPhone use. The product is currently on back order, so you might have to wait awhile before receiving your pair.
The Pro Handlebar / Seatpost / Pole Mount ($60 MSRP) from GoPro is made of aluminum, fits 22.2 to 35mm-diameter tubes, and rotates 360 degrees, letting you capture the best video from your ride.
Rail Seat Mount ($40 MSRP) is also from GoPro—it provides an “intense” rear-view over-the-tire view of your ride, making it easier to see all those other bicyclists you’re leaving in the dust.
The microSD Reader (coming soon) is Lightning-equipped device that lets you add memory storage to your iPhone or iPad. If you have extra documents, photos, videos, or music to save, the Reader can help you off- or on-load the content in a jiffy; you’ll just need to download the Lexar Mobile Manager app to help you keep things organized.
The Create ($150 MSRP) is a backlit wireless keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. The devices connect via Apple Smart Connector—no Bluetooth is needed. The keyboard also includes an extra “function” row with iOS shortcut keys for brightness, searching, media controls, volume controls, and more.
The Pulse Portable Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker ($120 MSRP) features six kinds of “music pulsating” LED visual display modes—meaning you’ve got pretty much the whole dance party, lights and music included, available in this portable, 2.8-pound device.
Want to see what’s going on behind you when you back up? The RearVision ($500 MSRP) lets you attach cameras to your rear license plate, giving you a live view of obstacles on your iPhone or iPad. The idea? To bring new-car technology to older vehicles.
The Lite-Me Selfie Smart Case ($54 MSRP) is an iPhone case that features (natch) lights around the screen so that you’ll be properly lit when taking a selfie.
iXpand 128GB Memory Case ($130 MSRP) works with the iPhone 6 or 6s, dramatically expanding the storage available, while also protecting the phone from damage thanks to its hard plastic exterior.
