Cambridge Audio Minx Min 21 ($360/pair)
   

The Minx Min 21 is part of our system bundle seen in our last Gift Guide.  The entire system bundle with the new NAD D3020 integrated amplifier and Transparent cable we have at the special system price of $1349.

 

Why Minx sounds better than other ultra-small speakers

 

Much of the magic comes courtesy of an intensive two-year development program by Cambridge Audio's engineers to achieve extraordinary sound from very small cabinets.

 

BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) technology features in each Minx speaker

 

Cambridge Audio BMR drivers utilize patented 'bending wave' principles normally seen in advanced flat panel speakers combined with pistonic movement  like in a traditional speaker design. This bestows Minx with a much wider frequency response than comparable style speakers for much deeper and more powerful bass plus spacious, broad sound dispersion.

 

PSB M4U 2 Headphones Black ($399)

 

PSB headphones are comfortable, lightweight and ready to pack up anywhere you want to go.  Fold them up into the protective travel case to easily carry them with you.  The PSB M4U 2 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones effectively cancel external noise.  Thanks to PSB's exclusive Room Feel™ technology, your music will sound rich and natural.

 

The M4U 2 model features three convenient modes of operation: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Active Mode, and Passive Mode (without batteries). Listen with 55 hours of run time in ANC or Active modes. When you're out of batteries, switch to Passive Mode.

 

The unique two-way adjustable ear pads are gyro-suspended for optimal ergonomics and supreme comfort. Super soft ear pads and lightweight make the headphones "disappear", leaving only rich, detailed sounds. The expandable headband also adjusts easily for a more customized fit.

 
Vanatoo Powered Speakers ($499/pair)
"The Vanatoo Transparent One speakers have a lot going for them-multiple input sources, a built-in AC-power port for use with an AirPort Express Base Station, subwoofer auto-sensing, and good sound-all in a beautiful, compact package.  It's absolutely worth your time and effort to take them for a spin." Chris Breen, MacWorld, August 1, 2012
