Tech Talk: New Products You Should Try In July

25 Jun 2024

Summer is calling. As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, it is the perfect time to explore the latest and greatest in tech. Whether you are looking to enhance your outdoor adventures, lounge by the beach or pool or just upgrade your much-loved gadgets, here is my pick of must-try products for July.

Best compact speaker: JBL Go 3 Portable Waterproof Speaker

With the opportunities to lounge by the pool only increasing this summer, you will definitely need a poolside speaker. The JBL Go 3 Portable Waterproof Speaker stands out as the top compact speaker with its vibrant colour options inspired by street fashion trends, IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, five hours of playtime, and lightweight design weighing only 209 grams. While its battery life may sometimes fall short of expectations, this speaker packs a punch with a deep, punchy sound perfect for outdoor gatherings or beach trips. It wirelessly streams via Bluetooth from your phone or tablet — perfect for a villa BBQ.

Waterproof Headphones: Sony NWWS413B headphones

These headphones are exactly what I need. They have a robust IP65/68 rating, allowing them to be submerged in up to two metres of salt water and shielding them from dust — perfect for those kite beach swims. They can endure extreme temperatures, making them versatile for different environments. With 4GB of built-in music storage, they play your tunes directly without needing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, although you can't load music from streaming apps. These headphones feature an Ambient Mode for staying aware of your surroundings and come with special swimming earbuds that stay securely in place.
