Memorex Debuts New Portable Audio Products Ahead of CES

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No I’m not talking about Christmas and the holidays, I’m talking about CES! At least for us techies, geeks and such, this time of the year is the most wonderful time when all the new products are coming out and being announced! Memorex has just announced a bunch of new audio products that they’ll be debuting at CES.  They’ve got headphones, docks and more! I think I’ve been doing this too long if I get more excited about CES than I do about the holidays?!?!

At the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show, Memorex will debut three speaker systems that turn your personal audio device into the perfect source for spontaneous sing-alongs and impromptu dance parties. The brand will also showcase a new line of headphones that have designs and features inspired by an on-the-go lifestyle. Some of those features include call and track control for Apple devices, built-in headphone splitters for sharing music with family and friends and included cord management systems that keep the headphones neatly at your fingertips.

“Today’s family is constantly on the move, so their audio products need to work both in the home and on-the-go,” said Jessica Walton, global director of Memorex consumer outbound marketing. “Our products look sleek on shelf, sound great outside of the home and are rich with features at an affordable price.”

With Memorex’s new audio products, your family’s smart phones or audio devices can be transformed into a bass-booming speaker system in an ultra-portable package. Each speaker syncs up to your family’s favorite devices – such as iPod®, iPhone® or any smart phone with a headphone jack – and offers user-friendly design at a practical price point.

MA7221 App-Enhanced Portable Stereo Speaker, MSRP: $69.99: The App-Enhanced Portable Stereo Speaker is the perfect music accessory to grab on-the-go.

MA2213 Ultra-Portable Stereo Speaker, MSRP: $59.99: The Ultra-Portable Stereo Speaker is a master of disguise. A hidden storage compartment safely tucks away your earphones while you’re sharing your tunes with friends and family, the FM radio allows you to listen to your favorite stations, and the carrying handle is integrated into the back of the speaker, so it looks great on the shelf and is easy to take anywhere you go.
