At CES 2013 in Las Vegas, iLuv was busy introducing a wide variety of new products, including a very nice looking headphone series and a full line of accessories with support for the new Lightning connector.
First up, the ReF headphones are designed for the fashion-conscious iOS device user. Along with a titanium diaphragm that provides a wide dynamic range with mega bass and precise treble, the headphones have a stylish canvas exterior accented with contrast stitching.
The version specifically designed for iOS devices comes with a microphone and in-line controls. The headphones also fold up for enhanced portability.
Retailing for $129.99, you can purchase the navy, black, red, and white version of the ReF headphones now on iLuv’s site. A yellow, blue, green, and orange version will be available sometime this spring along with earbuds in the same line.
Our own Dom Esposito has a quick look at the headphones from iLuv’s booth at the show. Click here if you can’t see the video.
Another new highlight from iLuv is its Aud 5 Lightning speaker dock. It will play and charge any Lightning enabled device simultaneously. A passive radiator helps to belt out reinforced bass, while high power amplification provides room-filling audio.
Along with being Bluetooth enabled, the Aud 5 also has a 3.5mm aux input for a direct connection to almost any audio device.
The price for the dock has yet to be announced, and it will be available some time in the second quarter of this year.
