Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition

Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition are the world’s first sports headphones to feature automatic (and continuous) VO2 Max fitness testing

Jabra Sport Pulse, launched in September 2014, brought in-ear biometric heart rate monitoring to sports headphones for the first time. Two years later, the Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition takes another innovative step by using the in-ear heart rate monitor (together with the Jabra Sports Life app) to constantly calculate your VO2 Max level – a globally recognized and established test of aerobic fitness – and automatically measure your fitness level.

Whether a seasoned athlete or just trying to get fitter, the personalized VO2 Max data generated by the Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition allows you to track your fitness development and get the most out of your workout. It uses intelligent in-ear coaching to provide real-time feedback based on your heart rate and fitness level. When you’ve finished your run, the Jabra Sport Life app provides a range of information to help you improve your fitness level in the future, including distance covered, pace, route, calories burnt and training effect.

In addition to a choice of different sized ear gels and ear wings, the headphones now come with COMPLY® Foam Tips as standard, keeping the earbuds securely locked in-place throughout your workout. They also provide improved sound-quality for calls and music, with passive noise cancellation and enhanced bass.

These headphones offer certified dust and water resistance (to IP55 standard) and are tested to US military standards against wind, rain, sweat and shock impact. Reinforced by a three-year extended warranty against sweat, you can be confident that both sets of headphones will perform, no matter how challenging your workout.

I listen to music all day long, everywhere I am in the house! Music gets me through the best and worst days and I love dancing with my kids, singing out loud and finding new amazing songs that speak to me!

And I know this Valentine's Day I will be listening to my Love Station on Pandora through my Polk BOOM’s Swimmer Duo because it can go with me everywhere I am in the house - whether I am doing chores, reading, doing homework, working or just hanging out with the kids or hubby!

My favorite part is that the Swimmer Duo is dust, water, and shock proof so you don’t have to worry about dropping it in the dirt and it can be submerged in up to 3 ft. of water for 30 minutes. I will definitely be taking it outside with me in the spring to work in the garden, play with the kids or entertain guests outside! In addition, two Swimmer Duo’s can be paired for stereo sound. The Swimmer Duo is the foolproof, go-anywhere companion, ensuring you’l l have the perfect soundtrack to narrate your outdoor adventure.

Make Beautiful Music with the NEW Compact Grand Piano from @CasioMusicGear

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Making music isn’t only fun, but it’s also a way for families to learn, grow and create great musical memories together. Some of my favorite memories with my children is sitting down at our piano and playing and singing our favorite hymns and songs together! I can't wait until my children are old enough to take piano lessons and create beautiful music on their own!

If you are looking for a quality piano to play or for your children to play,  you have got to check out the Casio’s newest Compact Grand Piano, the CGP-700! It is a family-friendly piano that adds flexibility and fun to keep kids engaged in learning throughout the year.

Having great keys means you need a truly great piano sound. The CGP-700's 9-foot concert grand piano sound is as impressive as it is thanks to a meticulous recording session with over two dozen microphones. The result is a dynamic and expressive concert grand piano that can be used in stereo or mono, and even includes damper resonance simulation. You'll find instant settings to adjust the piano for rock, jazz, classical, and other styles to suit your needs. The CGP-700 can also use the optional SP-33 pedal system, which provides soft, sostenuto, and damper pedals.

At your fingertips is Casio's famous Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard, accurately recreating the touch and response of a concert grand piano with 127 times the resolution of traditional keyboards. Suitable for the most demanding pianist, this keyboard also enables beginning players to develop proper playing technique. Just like a grand piano, the keys have a heavier feel in the lower register, and a lighter feel up top. Even the surface of the keys feels natural, with the reproduced textures of both ebony and ivory.

The CGP-700 goes far beyond piano, with 550 different instrument tones. You'll find a variety of guitars, strings, basses, drums, synths, and more. There is also a powerful effects system with reverbs, delays, and other essential add-ons such as rotary speakers for organs and phasers for electric pianos. Quickly select one of the 200 ensemble Rhythms, which can accompany your playing with a full backing band which reacts to the chords that you play. You can also save combinations of your favorite tones, layers, splits, rhythms, accompaniment, and tempo for instant recall when performing.

The CGP-700 is loaded with lots of other features that your family will love:

• Small But Mighty: The superior design and feel of the CGP-700 is comparable to a standard grand piano, but is in a compact size ideal for the smallest rooms. It can also be used with or without the included stand, for easy portability.
• Easy to Use: Casio’s Color Touch Interface (CTI) is easy to navigate and has a color graphic touch display that provides access to every feature.
• Connectivity without Confusion: The class-compliant USB port on the CGP-700 can connect to a PC, Mac, or other devices such as an iPad, with no special drivers needed. Just connect, and instantly control your favorite software.
• Keep Your Creations: When you are inspired, it's quick and easy to record your performance. The CGP-700 includes both MIDI and USB audio recorders. Transfer your recordings easily to a computer to share your music.

If you have always wanted a grand piano in your living room but don't have room or the money to spend on one, Casio’s newest Compact Grand Piano CGP-700 would be the perfect fit! You will love the beautiful sound, how easy it is to use and family-friendly it is and how beautiful the music is that you can make!
