The Harman Luxury Audio Group has added a new family member to JBL's Classic Series, in the shape of a retro-stylish all-in-one music system named the L42ms that puts out 200 watts and features adjustable bass response.

Harman brand JBL announced its first vinyl spinners back in January, including one that allowed for wireless playback via portable speakers, soundbars and headphones "without sacrificing audio quality." The Spinner BT is now available to buy.

Back in 2016, Rock Jaw unveiled an interesting pair of headphones that offered listeners the choice of a closed-back or open-back audio experience from the same over-ear cans. Now JBL is doing something similar with true wireless earphones.

Harmon-owned JBL has its 75th anniversary this year, and is celebrating by dipping into its past to build a new retro-cool integrated amplifier that's based on models from the 1960s and 70s.

Mark Levinson has been in the audio business for nearly 50 years, but only launched its first turntable at CES 2017. Now the Harman-owned brand has returned to Las Vegas with its second – № 5105.

Samsung and its new subsidiary Harman International have teamed up to try and make the ultimate connected vehicle. The systems include connected car technologies, an autonomous driving platform, custom-designed audio, and even a QLED "MoodRoof" for the cabin interior.

Displays capable of 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR) are getting more common in homes, but remain relatively rare in theaters. In a bid to help get more butts in seats, Samsung has unveiled a new cinema-sized LED display that brings both 4K and HDR to the big screen.

The all-in-one BassPro Go is a hybrid car subwoofer and Bluetooth speaker that deepens the bass of your in-vehicle audio system before popping out of the car and playing tunes on the move.

Headphones are great for listening to music, but also mean that you can't hear what's going on around you. New technology from Harman, however, could change this. Its Audio Augmented Reality (AAR) allows users to hear specific external sounds, such as your name being called.

In addition to its high-tech smart car technologies, Harman has debuted the Voyager Drive car audio system at CES 2016. The simple plug-and-play Bluetooth audio system hinges around a compact speaker that docks in the dashboard and removes for use outside the car.

Harman has announced a new in-car setup that allows drivers to create "individual sound zones," each of which can play different sounds with minimal interference from other zones – potentially eliminating the age-old argument over who gets to choose the music.
