CES 2012: Scosche Expands Listen, Power Product Lines

Posted 01/10/2012 at 8:28am | by J.R. Bookwalter

In the market for some new headphones or perhaps a charger or battery backup for your iOS device? It might be worth your time to stop by the Scosche booth at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which kicked off Tuesday in Las Vegas. The company is announcing new offerings in their Listen and Power product lines, but if you can’t make it to Vegas with us, read on for the details.

Altec Lansing Mix

In the 1980s, “portable audio” took the form of comically large boom boxes with as many flashing lights and extra buttons as eight D batteries could power. The ’90s turned boom boxes into gadgets so sleek and light, they looked (and often were) incapable of pushing enough decibels to fuel a party, let alone annoy the neighbors. And today, the iPod has pretty much killed the boom box, collectors of old-school memorabilia notwithstanding.

iLuv iSP100

An iPod speaker is a great investment if you want to rock out with friends--unless you and your friends prefer to dance around with headphones on, like those silhouetted party people in Apple’s print ads. iLuv’s iSP100 is portable, compact, and takes regular AAA batteries, so there’s no need to tote along an AC adapter or charger. But the anemic sound it produces might have you reconsidering that “let’s all just put our headphones on and dance around” idea.

Pioneer VSX-819H

Giant TV. Check. Super-rad universal remote. Check. Speakers strategically placed around the room so that when stuff blows up onscreen you actually feel it in your belly. Check. A/V receiver that supports up to 7.1 surround sound and the iPhone. Surprise--check!

While the iPhone has taken over your pocket and possibly your car, home theater rigs have been noticeably late to the iPhone party. Fortunately, the folks at Pioneer have taken notice of the iPhone and its league of faithful users with the release of the VSX-819H home receiver. Instead of relying on 1/8-inch cables, the system includes a USB port with a USB-to-dock cable.

Pixel Research Labs Ringer

For several years now, the music industry has had quite a scam going. No, we’re not talking about the insane price of physical CDs. And no, we’re not talking about the fact that major label artists--the folks who actually did the work--make pennies on the dollar for the sale of those CDs. We’re talking about ringtones. iPhone users are luckier than most--iTunes will let you buy a ringtone for a mere 99 cents. Other cell carriers and plans can charge up to several dollars more. If you’re big into custom tones, that can add up fast. Ringer can help you quickly create your own iPhone ringtones from your existing media. No longer are you subject to iTunes’ sometimes spotty ringtone availability.

Ableton Live 8

In the pantheon of music-creation software, Live has always presented an original and truly innovative approach to making music in the studio and onstage. In this latest release, Ableton has delivered a very strong balance of new features and interface tweaks, which will definitely please existing Ableton fans and likely turn the heads of folks more accustomed to using audio software like Apple’s Logic and Digidesign’s Pro Tools.

iHome iP1

We’re amazed how many iPod speaker docks these days still won’t play nicely with the iPhone--it’s been two-and-a-half years, people! Which is one of the reasons we’re so excited about iHome’s iP1. Besides being iPhone-friendly, it also looks great, a piece we wouldn’t mind having in our living room. The sound is a step up as well, which is fitting since the iP1 is the first in iHome’s new Studio Series line. And here’s the kicker--the iP1 features some high-tech circuitry that makes it rock even harder at the touch of a button: the Bongiovi button (more on that in a bit).

Aluratek AIREC01F

Back in the day, people listened to the radio all the time, and families would gather ’round it in the evenings, and it was all a very big deal--um, so we’re told. Today it’s easy to look at radio as a last resort, the old standby when you forget your iPod or there’s no computer around for firing up Pandora. Fans of radio will appreciate the Aluratek WiFi Internet Radio, Home Theater Edition, aka the AIREC01F (another tech product whose name just rolls off the tongue).

Ultimate Ears 700

Ultimate Ears has been making in-ear monitors for professional musicians for nearly 15 years. The company was founded by Alex Van Halen and Jerry Harvey, a sound engineer for the band--a couple of dudes who know what they’re talking about when it comes to audio. Musicians rely on UE’s monitors during performances, and now you can bring that pro-level tech home in the form of earbuds. Even if you’re just listening to “Panama” while you’re walking the dog, rather than pounding it out on the skins in a packed arena, Ultimate Ears can make your iPod rock that much harder.

iPods are great, and we’re rarely without one. But sometimes a pair of earbuds just isn’t enough--especially when you want some tunes for a backyard BBQ or basement dance party, or perhaps your favorite Lemonheads record just doesn’t sound right unless you crank it up. Either way, Ion Audio’s Tailgater can help you rock with friends, indoors or out.
