Sorry for the fans, and I'm a big one, but.... Isn't it business?

I'm a big fan of Apple. I work on a Mac, own an Iphone... But if I want high sound quality, I'll never listen to music on their products. Just because I do care about how listening to music.

Yes ! It`s only business. This is not objectionable, he has a good reputation for excellent sound quality, and he sold its reputation also to Apple, but JMJ should not pretend to be something else.
Good music degenerates into mediocrity with bad equipment. Since we have this portable players, the music also moving into the unimportant side issue. Is for many people just background noise.

I will be truthful, I prefer the look of the AeroSystem One.

CSR plc : CSR aptX® Features in Iconic New Speaker Docks from Jarre Technologies

CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) today announced that Jarre Technologies, the provider of premium audio products founded by music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre, has licensed the CSR aptX® audio codec for a new range of high-end Bluetooth® speaker docks in order to allow users to stream music wirelessly with no degradation of audio quality.

To debut in early 2013, Jarre's new product line-up comprises three models: the AeroPad One, a two-speaker iPod®, iPad® and iPhone® dock speaker that will retail for €499; the AeroPad Two, a four-speaker version to retail for €699; and the striking AeroSkull dock, designed to resemble a large, metalised human skull, with the speakers forming the skull's aviator-style sunglasses.

"Jean Michel Jarre is one of the most influential and innovative musicians, composers and performers of our time, having broken new ground in electronic music and concert performances, and helped build his company's products to his exacting specifications," said Anthony Murray, SVP Business Group, CSR. "We are extremely honoured that Jean Michel, and his company, have chosen aptX to deliver Jarre's trademark high-fidelity sound."

Although standard Bluetooth technology offers the ability to stream stereo audio wirelessly from audio devices to headphones and speakers, this bandwidth-constrained solution does not come close to the audio quality consumers have come to expect from their electronic entertainment systems. CSR aptX audio coding technology solves this problem, breaking the bandwidth barrier to deliver CD-quality stereo audio wirelessly over Bluetooth connections for a variety of consumer electronics applications.

This announcement marks further momentum for the aptX codec as the de facto standard for premium-quality wireless audio, and follows other recent deployments including products from Samsung, including tablets and headsets, as well as from Beats, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Monster, Sennheiser, Creative, and many others.

Does this make any sense? Is it compatible with the latest iPhone?
I guess not…

Not keen on the SKULL. I would like to see a smaller version of the Aeroystem One, say about 50 cm tall, good sound quality, range of non metallic colours possibly even some optic fibre lighting thrown in. Cost about £200. I would buy that.
