CES 2012: headphone and speaker roundup
Audio-wares may not be on the forefront of many geek's minds during CES, but that doesn't mean you won't find a bevy of sound-pumping gizmos while traversing across the crowded show floor. From giant AirPlay and iPod dock systems to premium audiophile headphones (and a bevy of dinky iDevice-compatible buds), we've picked out a few of our favorites. Whether you're focused on getting great sound or something packed with technology, jump past the break to visualize it all for yourself.
Griffin Twenty hands-on (video)
Griffin's rounded off its hat-trick of new devices for CES with the Twenty: a digital audio amplifier that'll turn any pair of speakers into a wireless HiFi by docking your Airport Express. Once you've hooked up a pair of noisyboxes you've got lying around, you can mosh to 2.1 sound with a maximum of 20 watts coming out of each driver -- it'll even accommodate a powered subwoofer that has an active crossover at 80Hz. Check out the sneak peak of the device after the break. Update: Griffin has confirmed that the Twenty will cost under $200 (without the Airport Express) Dana Murph contributed to this report.
