Sony’s h.ear™ series also added three brand new products.
The line-up included the world’s smallest High-Resolution Audio wireless speaker *, new colourful headband-style wireless headphones and easy to wear, behind the neck style wireless headphones. h.ear go, the smallest portable speaker is perfect for those at home or on the move. Whilst it can fill a room with sound, its compact size and 12 hour battery life makes it easy to use wherever you go.
A whole range of audio products took centre stage at CES, perfect for all you music fanatics out there.

Staying on the musical theme, we also welcomed Sony PS-HX500, a premium turntable that for the first time, will enable users to convert vinyl collections into High-Res Audio quality digital files. We can’t wait to get our hands on one.
Sony also announced a new line of products in the Life Space UX range. The products are all designed to change the way you interact with physical spaces and experience entertainment and will look great in your home. These included the LED Bulb Speaker, already available in Japan, a 10cm Portable Ultra Short Throw Projector, equipped with internal speakers and battery and finally the Glass Sound Speaker, a stylish illuminating speaker that plays audio by using the vibration of the organic glass, that will launch in Japan in the Spring and in the US shortly after.
