Ultimate Ears 200

Sunday, May 8, 2011

The Ultimate Ears 200's sound is detailed but other similarly-priced sets offer a bassier, more powerful sound that's more likely to impress those starting out in the world of non-bundled earphone                                                          

                                                                     Features

  • Detailed sound
  • In-ear design

Design

It's sniffed at by audio snobs, but the £20 price mark is a very important one for earphone makers - being the maximum price many are willing stump up to replace their bundled buds. The Sennheiser CX300 legacy has virtually ruled this entry level sector for the past few years, but it's not without rivals. Ultimate Ears's previous efforts were the Metro.Fi 170, but the nipper of the new UE gang is the 200. Let battle commence.

The Ultimate Ears 200 are plastic-bodied buds with a two-tone grey design. We're not entirely sure why the snazzy metallic finish of the Metro.Fi 170 is gone - perhaps to give the shiny 400 and 700 models more exclusivity - but the curvy bodies of these 'phones make them attractive enough in a conservative, unassuming way.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS37

Panasonic's new Lumix DMC-FS37 is near the top of the company's new tree of compact cameras. It loses out against some of the slimmer fruit in terms of size but, with a Leica zoom lens, 16-megapixel resolution and a fancy touchscreen interface, it certainly has the potential to justify its juicy £170 asking price.


                                                                 Features

                                                   Full product specification: 
        • 16.1 megapixel sensor
        • 8x optical zoom
        • Touchscreen
        • Full HD video
 FS37 is a mid-range, point-and-shoot compact that discards its physical buttons in favour of touch-screen controls. Sadly though, it’s actually this main selling point that turns out to be the camera’s biggest bugbear. While the FS37 is easy enough to use and capable of delivering solid image quality in good light, the touch-screen fails to deliver an engaging user experience, falling short not only in terms of general responsiveness, but also in overall resolution and a severely limited viewing angle. With an ever increasing number of smartphones boasting high-resolution, touch-sensitive monitors these days, the FS37’s monitor does feel like something of a step backwards. 

Samsung Infuse 4G

The Infuse 4G will be one of the first smartphones in the U.S. to rock Samsung's next-generation Super AMOLED Plus touch screen, which claims 50 percent more subpixels for better contrast and outdoor visibility. If that weren't enough, the screen measures 4.5 inches diagonally, making it one of the largest displays on a smartphone today.

 Samsung Infuse comes with a 4.5-inch super AMOLED Plus display and runs on 1.2GHz processor. The device has an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of recording 720p HD video and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls. The smartphone is based on Android 2.2.1 and comes with TouchWiz overlay. At 8.9mm at its thinnest point, Infuse 4G is claimed to be the thinnest 4G smartphone available.
