ColoudBoom,Knock and Pop-New affordable headsets for nokia.

Zound Industries – the company behind Marshall Headphones, Molami, and Urbanears – is working with Nokia to produce a range of high-quality, yet affordable headsets under the Coloud brand.

 

The three new headsets customized for Nokia are called Boom, Knock and Pop, and each with a unique design and sound of its own.

Boom is designed to ensure that any noises from the outside world stays outside, thanks to the smart closed construction.

The large ear pads fit comfortably over your ears, while the padded rock-solid frame sits perfectly over your head – or around your neck when you’re taking a break from your favourite tunes.

Knock is similarly styled to Boom in that it’s a headset with ‘cans’ – i.e. they cover your ears.

Lighter than Boom, the design-awarded Knock has been made for those that like a more minimalistic style, but is still able to withstand what your life throws at it.

Pop is the in-ear alternative, for those who prefer not to have something wrapped over the head or covering their ears.

The angled ear-buds fit perfectly into any ear, thanks to the three different sized buds that come in the sales pack.

Boom, Knock, and Pop all feature the Zound Lasso with flat cable, an ingenious way of keeping the cables tangle-free.

In addition to the ‘cable-control’, all three also include an integrated microphone so that they can be used for making phone calls, as well as a control key to make/drop calls or control your music.

“We’re delighted to work with Zound to provide people with a range of stylish, colourful yet robust and affordable headphones. With Boom, Knock and Pop people can enjoy their music with a clear audio and style,” says Jarno Piirainen, Head of Audio Accessories at Nokia.

“All three headphones are targeted for young achievers, passionate about their lives and enjoying music. Together with Nokia, we’re now able to bring the stylish headsets to even more people enjoying great audio experience around the world,” says Konrad Bergström, President and Founder, Zound Industries.

As you can see, Boom, Knock, and Pop come in either yellow, bright red, or cyan – Nokia’s iconic colours.

These headsets will work with all Nokia Lumia smartphones, selected Nokia Asha devices, and any device with a 3.5mm AHJ audio plug.

Boom, Knock, and Pop will be available from September costing €27, €22, and €18 respectively.

 

We think they look cool let us know how you feel below.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 Appears on 02 Irelands website.

Today 02 posted on twitter that the nokia lumia 1020 is coming soon.

This we already knew and 02 are so far the only network in ireland to give us a straight answer as regards to stocking the lumia 1020.

02 have the device listed in the “coming soon” section but how soon is another story,hopefully its sooner rather than later as many want to get their hands on this amazing device . It’s now been said it’s coming in September.

In the photo we can see its black typical in ireland we get the black first over the nice vibrant colours,hopefully this may change,and in fairness the lumia 925 is actually nice in black.

There is no release date of pricing as yet but stay tuned for more news as it comes in.

What colour would you like? its been reported today there may be a red lumia 1020 with a massive 128gb memory.

Take Our Poll

Nokia Lumia 1020 for Ireland,The very latest news.

Nokia’s newest smartphone was announced last week so we had to check out how much love the operators have for the device so of course we took action on twitter to find out where the irish people stand and find out just for you.

First of all the device is now already on pre-order from across the waters on several websites ranging from $699-$799 this is sim free of course which is the better option in my opinion.

First of all we contacted all the operators here in ireland and it was interesting to see what the sentiment is.

METEOR MOBILE!

Meteor replied but the reply is somewhat good and bad but im holding off on a definitive answer for now and see what the lads can do.

Here is what meteor said today.

EMOBILE!

Here is what emobile told us today.

VODAFONE

Vodafone gave us a rather incoherent answer.

3 IRELAND

3 again incoherent yet 3 ireland seem to dislike the nokia lumia range its been known ever since the Lumia 800 they have not stocked any lumia model,they seem to stick to the one or two lower end nokia devices.

02 IRELAND

02 had a bumpy time at first saying they had not seen it for testing but then they got back to me a few minutes later with this tweet and the same time an article came out by silicon republic documenting this so maybe it was been finalized and we are happy to hear 02 will sell the 1020

So over all there seems to be a rather disappointing approach to the lumia 1020 but its early days yet,stay tuned for updates,we will keep you informed.

02 also said

“We are firmly committed to delivering the best and most exclusive experiences to our customers,” Maria O Neill, head of Consumer Strategy, Care and Operations at O2 said. “The Nokia Lumia 1020 has some brilliant innovative features and a great Windows 8 operating system. We think it will be a hit with our customers.”

Eoin cruise from nokia ireland had this to say.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 establishes a new benchmark in smartphone imaging and makes it easier than ever to capture, edit and share photos and videos of unmatched clarity,” said Eoin Cruise, Market Lead, Nokia Ireland.

“We are excited that we can bring this new innovation to Ireland through our partnership with O2.”

I had the chance to meet eoin myself at the 925 launch with irelandstechnologyblog he is a very nice guy and we had a great chat. Eoin is the the smartly dressed guy  2nd on the left.

So that’s it we will keep you informed and updated on the latest thanks for reading.
