The CEDIA 2007 electronics show may still be days away, but that hasn’t kept many companies from revealing their product line-ups before the show to give consumers a taste of what to expect. NEC kept that trend up on Thursday by announcing three new lines of plasma displays that will be on display at the expo.

The MultiSync Residential series features 40- and 46-inch models with full 1080p resolution. NEC intends the displays to function as both conventional HDTVs and  large-screen computer monitors. Interchangeable black and silver bezels give consumers the option of changing the TV for the room or their tastes.

The larger PlasmaSync Residential series will offer monitors in 42-, 50- and 60-inch sizes. NEC emphasizes the video performance of the displays, which can even be optimized through calibration controls that adjust for day and night viewing. All sets include a HDMI input with HDCP, removable top and bottom bezels to switch the cabinet to all black, and RS-232 input and output.

The AccuSync Multimedia series serves as NEC’s new budget line of displays. Displays in this line will come in 32-, 40- and 46-inch varieties. They all feature integrated HD tuners, detachable surround speakers, and dual HDMI inputs.

Prices for the new displays have not yet been announced.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

Better sound, smarter design

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
