Ever wanted to be able to listen your mp3 player through headphones and speakers when your about? Well now you can with the Go Stereo Tune in Tune out headphones. Unfortunately the sound quality isn’t brilliant and has a cheap plastic headband that looks like it could fall apart at anytime.
For these who haven’t heard of Acoustic energy they are a well respected British hi-fi manufacturer and they bring a great deal of that expertise to these speakers. They have innovations such as a cone to remove unwanted sound from the back of the driver; the satellites are made from cast aluminium to reduce cabinet vibrations; the speaker cable is flat rather then round to improve the magnetic field strength which means that less of the signal is lost down the cables and the amplifier has better control over the drivers.
