This week on the Gadget Lab Show, we check out several new gadgets including the HTC One X+, the bigger Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and new set of Bluetooth headphones from Sony.
First up, staff writer Nathan Olivarez-Giles and reviews editor Michael Calore take a look at the One X+, HTC’s updated version of the original One X handset, which launched back in May. HTC has made a bunch of small improvements to battery life, processing power, and the One X’s front-facing camera in delivering the One X+. Check out Nathan’s hands-on story with the One X+ for more details on what’s new here.
Next up, staff writer Roberto Baldwin joins Calore to talk about the Kindle Fire HD 8.9, which is Amazon’s newest tablet. The larger Fire HD is both a follow up to the smaller 7-inch Fire HD, and a rival to Apple’s larger 9.7-inch iPad. The latest Amazon slate sells for between $300 and $600, depending on storage and cellular connectivity options.
Then the guys examine Sony’s new Bluetooth headphones, formally known as the MDR-1RBT. They’re expensive at $400. And the black and red colorway makes them look a bit like Beats knockoffs. But the new cans are comfortable and they feature NFC in the right ear cup, which makes them a sync to pair with an NFC-equipped phone or tablet. Stay tuned to Wired.com for reviews on these gadgets from Nathan, Roberto and Michael in the next week or so.
