Want List | Amphion & NuForce speakers

Banish tinny PC music from built-in speakers that barely deserve the name. Amphion and NuForce have teamed up to offer one of the best-looking (and sounding) desktop audio solutions around. Simply plug the small, sophisticated NuForce Icon2 Micro DAC amplifier into your home computer and then connect up the Amphion’s two Helium 410 speakers for some serious aural pleasure. What’s more, those speakers come in a variety of colours – so no need for black or silver options. (£970, www.iglooaudio.co.uk)

Esquire Winter Style Guide

Esquire Winter Style Guide

Have you ever attempted elbow patches? Or tried a striped tie with a checked shirt? How about brown in town? A jaunty titfer? Have you worn a tie-pin, or trainers with a suit? The rules of men’s style are important, and they’re there for a reason. No one wants to look like a try-hard, or a no-mark. Then again, sometimes it pays to experiment, try it on for size, mix it up a little, go off-piste. Just to see what it feels like. [Read more...]

Want list – Nikon S1200pj

Want list – Nikon S1200pj

Pop quiz, hotshot: You’ve taken holiday snaps and video worthy of David Bailey. But back at the villa, you want to see the fruits of your labour. No laptop. What do you do? Make sure you’ve got Nikon’s new S1200pj with its built-in projector. Brighter than its previous incarnation (now at 20 lumens), the 14-megapixel compact can beam out pictures and HD movies from 5in to a whopping 60in. Anything else? The see-in-the-dark luminous controls are a clever touch, as is the compatibility with iDevices so that you can project media content from your Apple phone, too. (Nikon, £400)

Want List – Sony DEV-5 Binoculars

Want List – Sony DEV-5 Binoculars

Looking like something out of a Jason Bourne movie, Sony’s DEV-5 binoculars are a little different from that battered old pair you last took to the cricket. What makes them so special? Sony has gone and replaced the traditional optical finders with a pair of high-res LCD electronic viewfinders, creating the world’s first digital binos. What purists lose in optical viewfinders, tech-heads gain in the ability to take pictures and record full HD (and 3D video). Sony has also shoehorned GPS geotagging and SteadyShot – its visual stabilisation system – into the package. (Sony, £2,000)
