I have been happily enjoying a sweet pair of speakers sent to me by the crew out at V7 for the last couple days now, and I’ll tell you this much, these are flatly awesome.

The V7 A320Ps are computer speakers designed to easily hook to your laptop or desktop by plugging directly into your computer’s headset jack.  They also have to be plugged into an outlet as they’re externally powered.  You can also use these with your CD player, iPod or other MP3 Player–pretty much anything that has a headset jack to plug into. They also come with a three-year limited warranty.

The sound quality out of these things is absolutely unbelievable, I tried them out with about ten different movies of various subject matter on my laptop, and the end result was, in every case, fantastic.  They put out a shocking amount of sound, and do it for the shockingly low price of right around thirty bucks.

So I’m definitely enamored by these speakers–sure, you can get better out there, with subwoofers included and whatnot, but these two speakers by themselves will definitely put out plenty of power for your desktop or laptop.

C-IP313 is the codename of the new dock made by Kenwood, which unlike other docks has a good style and good specifications.

In terms of supported audio file formats, it can play MP3 and WMA via a USB pen, or via a SD/SDHC memory card. Besides those two options, it can also has a CD player for everyone that still has CDs… The dock also works with the iPod but it seems it doesn’t like the iPhone. As for the sound, 2 speakers with 10W each is not bad for such a small sized dock. The Kenwood C-IP313 will hit the shelves at the end of October.

Sony’s new MEX-BT3600U CD tuner has it all: USB and Bluetooth interfaces, a quick-search interface that lets you browse your MP3 media and support for hands-free through the car stereo. If your Walkman or mobile phone can stream audio over Bluetooth, then the MEX-BT3600U can receive and play it back on the car stereo. Thanks to support for Bluetooth A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) and AVRCP (audio/video remote control profile), you can skip tracks or pause audio from your car stereo.

A USB port on the front of the player provides a convenient way to connect your digital music player. The front-panel AUX input also lets you connect an external player’s audio output. Featuring 24-bit D/A conversion and 52Wx4 channels, the Sony MEX-BT3600U has three separate pre-outs as well.
