Australian technology brand PADACS has launched the Aksent High-Definition In-Ear Earphones for the iPhone and iPad, offering easily-reached controls and foam ear cushions that mould to the ear canal.

Costing $69.95, the lightweight earphones are designed for use with iPad, iPhone4, 3GS, 3G and iPod, with high quality driver units that deliver deep bass and extended treble for realistic sound.

PADACS Aksent in-ear stereo earphones are fitted with special foam ear cushions that mould to the ear canal, delivering the sound directly to your ear for an intensified listening experience. This reduces a lot of background noise, making listening easier on the ears by allowing more precise volume control.

PCRange CEO Raaj Menon said the Aksent headphones were much better than the iPhone’s standard in-ear headset. “The clarity of sound is just amazing and the bass is really powerful,” he said.

Australian technology brand PADACS has extended its run of innovative product releases with the launch of UltraCharge, a portable power supply unit for the iPad, iPhone 4 and 98 per cent of current mobile devices.

Costing $119.95, the PADACS UltraCharge is a 12000mAh (milliampere-hour) lithium polymer battery that can charge two mobile devices simultaneously. Taking four to five hours to charge, it can charge notebooks for 2-4 hours; iPhones for 5-6 hours or the iPad for 15-20 hours.

As well as the above devices, the UltraCharge can charge Pods and PSPs plus mobile handsets from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung, LG and HTC. Covering 98 per cent of mobile devices on the market, the UltraCharge achieves this remarkable range of connectivity through a USB cable with four adapters.

The UltraCharge package contains the mobile accessory charger, a power adapter, a DC output cable, the USB output cable with four adapters (USB to USB; USB to DC; USB to mini USB; and USB to iPhone/iPad) and a travel pouch. Weighing just 398 grams, the PADACS UltraCharge measures 150x80x24mm.

PCRange CEO Raaj Menon said the PADACS UltraCharge solved major problems for people on the move. “The arrival of the iPad means people often have more than one device to charge,” he said.
