"Top 10 Tech This Week (1/7/2012)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Sync by 50 Wireless Headphones\n\nCrispy and thump-filled music fills your head with these wireless cans from SMS Audio, a new company started by rapper 50 Cent.\nThey sound fat, punchy, crunchy and delicious, coming to you wirelessly and losslessly for a steep $399.95, but hey, big sounds don't come with small price tags.\nIt's a cinch to pair up the phones with their wireless dongle, which plugs into any music-playing device with a standard audio jack. Then it's time to dance with this Kleer wireless tech, delivering audio with super-clean clarity. Good luck trying to stay still with this rousing ruckus going on.\nSee my bonus gallery after item #10 for more pics and value judgements of Sync by 50.\n[via SMS Audio]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Super Yacht with a Car Inside\n\nWhy settle for a single mode of transportation when you can have two in one with this 124-foot high-performance yacht designed by Eduard Gray? If you get tired of tooling around at high speed in the water, back it up to a dock and peel out in your twin-turbo 880hp exotic car with a top speed of 230 mph. Not enough for you? Jet helicopter not included.\n[via Yanko Design] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Swann Sky Eye RC Helicopter With Built-In Camera\n\nNow you can spy on your neighbors (just like the government does) with this Swann Sky Eye RC helicopter. It's the size of a toy, but lets you shoot either stills or video from its onboard digital camera. All this low-cost surveillance can be yours for just a penny shy of $100.\n[via Ubergizmo]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Toshiba's World's Thinnest Ultrabook\n\nI'm sure we'll hear plenty of braggadocio about \"world's thinnest\" at the upcoming CES 2012, but Toshiba's serious about its new 13.3 ultrabook, which it claims is not only the world's thinnest, but lightest as well. \nNot to be outdone, Toshiba also tells us its new 10.1-inch tablet is the world's thinnest and lightest, too. Truth? We'll take a close look at all the competitors in Vegas and let you know if these Toshiba baubles really are the thinnest and lightest of them all.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Lockheed Martin Jet Fighter Concept\n\nIt doesn't get any more futuristic than this. Fresh out of Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works comes the company's sixth-generation fighter concept, bristling with the highest of tech.\nArriving by around 2030, its pilots are probably in kindergarten right now, but when they get to be swaggering flyboys and girls, they'll enjoy \"greatly increased speed, longer range, extended loiter times, multispectral stealth, ubiquitous situation awareness and self-healing structures and systems,\" according to Lockheed designers. \nThat is, if they're flying these planes at all, and not ensconced in a remote-control piloting bunker.\n[via DVICE]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Soundfreq Sound Kick Bluetooth Speaker\n\nIf this tiny Soundfreq Sound Kick Bluetooth speaker sounds anywhere near as good as its trio of larger brothers we've extensively tested, we're in for a treat when we give this one a listen at CES 2012. \nIt runs on either AC power or a 7-hour lithium-ion battery, and sports an expandable sound chamber that folds up into a compact size that's just 1.6\" thick for easy packing. It even has a USB port that can charge an iPhone and any other USB devices. Available this spring.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Vuzix Smart Glasses\n\nIf you don't mind looking like a member of the Borg hive from Star Trek, Vuzix smart glasses will let you see an HD image in one eye while you observe the world with the other. \nThis unique concept will be especially handy for augmented reality applications, where its lens is able to \"squeeze the light down the waveguide and then two-dimensionally expand the image back into the users eye, creating an image that is then mixed into the real world.\" \nSmart Glasses must be a concept that might be available long into the future, right? Believe it or not, the company says the glasses will be available this summer.\n[via Geeky Gadgets]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Aerodyne Art Deco PC\n\nYou might be familiar with the work of Jeffrey Stephenson, the extraordinary craftsman who creates computers that are unlike any you've ever seen. His Aerodyne is no exception, available in a small run of 10 units, with pricing unannounced so far. \nIt's a mini PC with an Intel Core i3 processor, and its Intel HD 3000 graphics processor will make it suitable for any home theater.\n[via Technabob]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Samsung Galaxy Note Smartphone\n\nLots of Android smartphones have 4.3-inch screens -- and they seem big to us -- but if that's too small for you, this Samsung Galaxy Note -- new for AT&amp;T -- has an enormous 5.3-inch screen. Expected to roll out at CES 2012 next week, this monster phone has a 1200 x 800 super AMOLED display, and it's all powered by 1.4GHz dual-core processor. \nIt might be great to watch movies on this beast, but what about battery life? We'll have to wait until February 14 to put it to the test.\n[via Pocketnow] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Hennessey Venom GT\n\nNow we take you into absurd territory with this $1 million supercar. What do you get for all that green? It's certainly not a green machine, cranking out 1200hp and zipping from 0-60mph in a positively scary 2.5 seconds. If you're in a hurry, it'll get you there post haste -- its top speed is 267mph. \n[via TechEBlog]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 1. Sync by 50 Headphones\n\nThese headphones feel nice and light on your head, not clamping down too hard. But others can hear remnants of your music playing, especially when you turn these babies up to 11.\nHow do they sound? Excellent -- every bit as good as the best Dr. Dre phones, and slightly better than the highest-end Fanny Wang headphones. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 2. Sync by 50 Headphones\n\nYou can plug in a standard 3.5mm mini audio plug if your batteries run down (after about 7 hours). I thought the sound quality was the same, wired or wireless. Lossless, indeed.\nNotice that little wave icon on the earcup? Press that and you activate \"THUMPP,\" giving you even more bass. It's not as dramatic as the accompanying literature would have you believe, though.\nThese over-the-ear cans are also available in white\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 3. Sync by 50 Headphones\n\nThe blue \"S\" logo on each ear cup blinks every 6 seconds, showing you it's synced with its wireless dongle.\nA wireless version of the headphones, called Street by 50, costs $299.95, $100 less than these wireless \"Sync by 50\" models.\nThe wireless range is listed at 50 feet, but if there are any walls or objects in the way, I noticed it's closer to 15-20 feet away when dropouts occur. In the real world, it's a lot like the range of Bluetooth devices.\nAnother cool feature: You can sync up four pairs of these headphones at once, for watching a movie together or dancing in a silent rave. Great if you have an extra $1600 lying around.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 4. Sync by 50 Headphones\n\nThe headphones and separate dongle each charge up in about 2 - 2.5 hours.\nWhen they're charging, the blue backlight stays lit, turning off when they're fully charged. I like the way the phones turn off automatically if you're not listening to them, preserving battery power.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 5. Sync by 50 Headphones\nA cool case is included.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonus image 6. Sync by 50 Headphones\nHere's the exterior of the case, whose shell is hard enough to protect its contents even from the most rambunctious roadie.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCES 2012 is taking over the tech world for the next few days, but that doesn't mean we'll stop looking ahead into the future.\nThis week, we've chosen some of the most groundbreaking products to be rolled out in Vegas, and then sprinkled in a healthy dollop of futuristic fare to keep all of you forward-looking technology titans satisfied.\nSo get ready to click through some of the finest tech the world had to offer this week, and don't miss our special bonus gallery pics we took as we tested some shiny new wireless headphones. All that and more, in the latest edition of Top 10 Tech This Week.\n\n\nSEE MORE: Previous editions of Top 10 Tech This Week\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
