It's music to my ears!

Hey music junkies!

I've got a treat for you today... I was invited to attend HARMAN's recently product launch earlier this month at the Royal Plaza at Scotts and I had a blast! 
HARMAN who??? For those who are scratching and turning their heads in confusion now... Let me break it down for you. 
HARMAN designs and engineers connected products and solutions for consumers, automakers, and enterprises worldwide, including audio, visual and infotainment systems. With leading brands including AKG, Harman Kardon and JBL, HARMAN is admired by audiophiles, musicians and entertainment venues worldwide! 

Let's start talking about the products, shall we? 

AKB N90q 
This beauty right here is AKG's new flagship headphone - the N90q! It's a pair of auto-calibrating noise-cancelling headphones.. A lot of big fancy words but to break it down, it's a pair of headphones that LISTEN to your ears and adjusts itself to provide the best listening experience for its user! Sounds (haha sounds get it, cause music?) strange right, how does it even work?! Well, AKG's TruNote technology allows precision sound reproduction. You can be sure that you are only getting the best of the best when it comes to Harman brands! 



JBL CHARGE 2+ 
JBL's CHARGE 2+ comes in the form of colourful portable bluetooth speakers! They are fun and a really nifty size for carrying around! It has an impressive battery of 3.7V, 6000mAh. That's nearly triple of an iPhone 6 and can provide you with at least 12 hours of playtime. It even has a USB jack for your to charge your other devices. Our speaker, Andy, kept mentioning how they are great for pool parties and the outdoors. 

Frankly, I was kinda skeptical. Bringing a speaker NEAR WATER?! And into this unpredictable world where it may just drop and crack into two?!!? It was at this moment that Andy knocked the table and ALL the CHARGE 2+ speakers PLONKED onto the floor... 

WHAT THE CRAP DUDE?!?!?!?!!? 

There was silence in the room...... 
Did he just break 7 speakers....?! Was that supposed to happen?! 

He picked one up, looked at us and laughed, "Oh, did I mention it's REALLY tough!"


Y U DO DIS MAN!?!?!?

He wasn't stopping there. He got a glass of water and just poured it all over the speaker. 
The CHARGE 2+ is splashproof, meaning you won't ever have to worry about rain or spills! You can even clean it under a running tap! But do keep in mine that it is SPLASHproof not waterproof so don't submerge it! 

Here he is, again, demonstrating the effect the JBL Bass Radiators create when you pour water into them... HOW COOL IS THAT?!?! It looks like one of those dancing water fountains! 


JBL PULSE 
Isn't this pretty?!?!?!? This is the JBL PULSE. This speaker combines the amazing JBL-wuality sound with a programmable LED light show! It's completely wireless and Bluetooth-enabled so all you have to do is to connect your iPod or smartphone to begin! 
The LED lights have a bunch of different settings and they follow the beats of your music! Who needs a disco ball when you have the JBL PULSE? 

(I know the thumbnail looks like some creepy human centipede thing but it's a crazy ad of the JBL PULSE!!)

Thank you so much to HARMAN for the wonderful event!
