Creative gathered us media at their headquarters yesterday for a very special announcement – the launch of the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook Sound Card, Wireless Receiver and the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! These new gizmos from Creative are sure to give you the music sound quality possible, and will bring your music experience to a whole new level.

If you’re the sort who likes to travel and is always on the go, then this portable travel alarm clock from iHome could come in handy! It comes in a pretty black piano finish, and it even has a dock for your iPod or iPhone, allowing you to go to sleep and wake up with your music. When you don’t have anything in the dock, a buzzer will sound as the alarm instead. The iHome iP27 also has an mp3 and CD line-in, so even if you don’t own an iPod or an iPhone you can still play music on it. There’s even a travel lock too, so you don’t have to worry about anything turning on unexpectedly in your backpack! The iHome iP27 will be available later this month at SGD199, and you can expect to see it at Apple resellers and Challenger Superstores.

The best thing is that this Music Phone Adapter is compatible with just about any phone – even the iPhone! So, has this caught your fancy? The Shure MPA is available at all major IT resellers and is priced at SGD79.

I love my music, and when my friends come over all I want to do is show off my favourite music to them. And what better way to do that than to use Altec Lansing’s new portable speaker – the IM310! While it’s generally an iPod speaker (note the iPod dock), you can also connect your CD, DVD and mp3 player to it, so there are no worries about its limitations as a speaker. You can also plug it in via AC, or use AA batteries which provide a whole 48 hours of music playback which is sure to keep you and your friends more than satisfied. Sound quality with the IM310 is not too shabby either – the sound is powerful and there’s good, deep bass. The Altec Lansing IM310 is currently available at SGD159.

Shure Asia Limited announced the arrival of the Shure SE102 sound isolating earphones which claims to be able to deliver the benefits of sound isolation and high quality sound. Some of the key features of the SE102 are a dynamic microspeaker to draw out the powerful music quality from your songs and the Sound Isolating Sleeves which prevents outside noise from getting in the way of your audio experience. The sleeves are interchangeable comes in three different sizes for your convenience. Priced at SGD119, it is certainly worth a look. Need more information?
