Harman Launches a Range of Mobile Power Accessories Under InfinityLab Brand

[TheLostSwede]

This one is going to be a bit tricky to explain, but Samsung owned Harman, has launched a new brand called InfinityLab, which will be selling mobile charging and power products, that will compete with Samsung. We can't really explain this, but we're sure there's some kind of logic behind it all.

What we're looking at is a set of three USB chargers, comprising of a 20 W model for $19.95, a 30 W model for $29.95 and a 65 W model for $49.95, all with a USB-C port and the 30 W and 65 W models also get a USB-A port. The 65 W model is using GaN (that's a curse word in Taiwan btw) or Gallium Nitride power conversion parts and as such joins a growing ecosystem of compact chargers with fairly high output.



Next up we have a pair of portable battery packs with built in charging cables with either a USB-C or Lightning connector. They are offered in capacities of 5,000 mAh with 18 W output or 10,000 mAh with 30 W output. You'll have to fork out either $49.95 or $69.95 for them respectively. The USB-C models come with an extra USB-C port and the 10,000 mAh SKUs have an additional USB-A port.


Finally we have a few Qi Wireless charging products, two of which are battery packs with the same capacities and output as above, but the cables have been replaced with a wireless charging pad. Both models also have a USB-C and USB-A port. The third Qi Wireless charging product is simply a stand, but it too has a USB-C and USB-A port and can output 33 W in total, of which 15 W wirelessly. These products cost $59.95, $79.95 and $69.95.


All products are made with 90 percent recycled plastic and cables sleeved with recycled polyester yarn will also be offered. We're not sure if anyone would buy these products for their environmental creds though. All the products mentioned should be available from today.

They used to do automotive audio too at one stage. A lot of German cars had Harman speakers. maybe some Audi's BMWs (basically anything VW) still do.

I have a Harman Kardon bluetooth speaker Go+Play, Stereo 100W, and what a bass. Cheaper than my GPU though... 249 EUROS.

干

Anyway, “gan” is a swear word in Taiwanese, so people who use “gan” will always be using traditional Chinese characters. Interestingly enough, I believe the real character for “gan” should be 姦, but we use 幹 as a substitute word. In Taiwanese, “gan” basically means “to fuck” (both in meaning and also the taboo behind cursing it).

We would.

65 W models also get a USB-A port. The 65 W model is using GaN

Gallium is good. BITD Pentax used it in the MX (GaAs). 65W and GaN mean you will never be saying 'Hurry the f*ck up'!

Samsung might be going to sell of that portion of their business under a newly named brand.

Yeah, between 1660 ti and 1660 S 2 years ago. Your GPU is still higher than midrange.
