We in the tech press are constantly bombarded by emails telling us about new products that are about to launch. (Poor us, we know…) This is especially true in December, as the annual Consumer Electronics Show, which takes place during the second week of January, edges ever closer. So it’s easy to overlook a lot of the pitches and press releases. But this morning, something came through our inbox that is so awesomely audacious, we couldn’t help but share.

This (pictured above) is iNuke Boom, the most gigantic iPhone/iPod dock in existence. (Yes, that little thing on the top is an iPhone.) Made by Behringer, this $30,000, car-sized contraption measures 4-feet tall and 8-feet wide, and weighs 700 pounds, meaning you’re going to need to rent a U-Haul to bring this sucker home. Why is it so ridiculously large? To blow you away with 10,000 watts of face-melting tunes, of course!

The iNuke Boom officially launches at CES, where we’ll be sure to get a closer look (as if that’s needed). Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until then to give you more technical details. In the mean time, you can shop for what kind of ladder you think will go well with your iNuke Boom.

The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
