CE Week 2014 Highlights in NYC


It's back-to-school time, but also back-to-fashion week, as I prepare for some non-stop fashion with the latest tech accessories. It's the perfect time to highlight my favorites from CE Week at the Metropolitan Pavilion/Altman Building from June 23-27th, where I previewed the best of battery packs and case chargers, portable speakers, SD cards and more!

With the Ztylus camera case and lens kit, it's like taking pictures with a digital camera instead of just your smartphone. Although I love my iPhone 5, it doesn't have impressive camera features or capabilities. The sleek camera case protects your phone from scratches and drops and has an integrated foldable kickstand. The lens kit has 4-in-1 interchangeable lenses including a wide- angle lens, super macro lens, circular polarizer filter, and extreme fisheye lens. 

Another popular item you can find at ztylus.com is the OnSlot On-Hot Shoe Cleaner which attaches to the hot shoe of your camera. The microfiber cleaning pad removes smudges, dust, oil and grease from your LCD screen.


Mimoco showcased their new MimoPowerBot - character-based universal backup battery for smartphones and tablets. I'm really excited about the Star Wars X MimoPowerBots, featuring Darth Vader and R2-D2, which will be available in November. Mimoco also showcased the MimoPowerTubes. These portable chargers are fun and stylish, like one of my favorites - Powersavers


Kensington iPad and tablet keyboard cases






The Thinium Charge is ultra-slim, portable wall charger that provides a quick 1 AMP charge directly from a wall outlet, laptop, computer or USB source without the hassle of cables.



Fashionable PowerPacks from PNY with a soft leather feel and thin, lightweight design





Every CE Week I look forward to the Monster Press Conference. Noel Lee introduced the latest Monster headphone launches. Click here for my interview with Noel.

CE Week NY 2014 with Head Monster Noel Lee


During CE Week NY 2014, I sat down with Head Monster Noel Lee to discuss the latest, fashionable Monster headphones that were just introduced at the Monster Press Conference on June 25th. Monster Products is definitely catering more to women, with my favorite, the luxurious Diamondz™ Rose Gold On-Ear Headphones and N-Tune™ Pearl On-Ear Headphones in pearlescent pastels. 

Noel walked me through what everyday consumers should be looking for when shopping for a pair of headphones, which is a different focus when it comes to men and women. For men, the number one quality that they still buy on is sound quality, in which Monster has their own technology called Pure Monster Sound™. For the best sound quality, lookout for the DNA Pro 2.0 Over-Ear Headphones coming soon. People, especially women, buy headphones based on comfort and style, such as the Inspiration Noise Canceling Headphones that are inspired by the iPhone and great for travel. There will actually be a promo on the Inspiration Headphones starting in about a month, at airports, offering $50 off if you have an iPhone. The Inspiration style is extremely versatile, with over 60 interchangeable headbands from patent leather to feathers. If you love bling, you'll want to check out the crystallized headphones that will be available at Harrods of London. 

Noel gave a few headphone recommendations for anyone who is petite - the Diamondz™collection and Inspiration Light. He also showed me the perfect workout headphones - iSport Victory In-Ear Headphones with neon accents. Monster Products is on-trend with headphones in black/white, white with rose gold and black with rose gold. You can see the full selection of Monster headphones at monsterproducts.com.

Check out my full interview, starting off with Noel Lee talking about riding his Segway. Many thanks to Noel for taking the time to chat with us!
