Take A Look Into Audi A8’s Bang And Olufsen Audio System
Cars.com photo by Evan Sears
We all want that slick car to drive. The Audi A8 is one of those cars. If you are investing in a car like the A8 you want to make sure that from front to back the car is fully loaded. One of those necessary items on the list is the sound system. Thankfully the A8 has got you covered on that front.
Recently Joe Wiesenfelder, who is the Executive Editor of Cars.com spoke on the Bang & Olufsen audio system in the Audi A8.
Joe said that the “Bang & Olufsen in the Audi A8. Audi’s exquisite flagship sedan has an optional B&O system that’s the opposite of the VW Fender stereo, in that it includes 19 speakers and Dolby Digital Surround sound. Here’s the thing: It sounds great, something audio systems this complex surprisingly often fail to do. Its various adjustments cater to different tastes but still tend to yield natural results. My focus is on the sound, but even I have to admit the way the tweeter modules rise out of the dashboard when you start the car is icing on a delicious cake. It’s an expensive cake, too: a $6,300 option on the middle-priced trim level.”

Surprise It’s Budweiser
Last month during NYC Restaurant Week, a production crew invited young adults 21-and-older a sneak peek at a new bar in Brooklyn, weeks before its official opening. On tap was a smooth, crisp golden lager, aged over beechwood, that has boasted the same recipe for 139 years – and only after guests sampled the beer did they find out they were drinking Budweiser. Yes, the King of Beers.
Check out the video for their reaction.

Cut The Wires, Still Hear The Music With XQISIT Headphones
Cords and wires are starting to become things of the past. Thanks to Bluetooth technology we can enjoy most of our gadgets without the inconveniences of strings. Still some companies have mastered the art of wireless tech more than others. One of those companies that has mastered this art is a European manufacturer named XQISIT. These guys have made some dynamic sounding and trendsetting looking headphones with their LZ380 line.
Not only do these headphone deliver incredible sound, but they are noise canceling too. The LZ380 has a fine matte, brushed finish on its casing. The flexible, padded ear cups are soft and doesn’t give you a headache after a few hours of use. That was the issue I was running into with my other headphones. My previous headphones not only gave me a headache, but the sound was very inferior to that of the XQISIT LZ380 pair.
These headphones are very user friendly. The right ear cup has a touch panel where you can fast forward or repeat song while using Bluetooth. If you feel the need to use a cord the LZ380 does come with a few attachments. These cords can aid you if you are looking to use them on an airplane or laptop that doesn’t have Bluetooth capabilities. These headphones works with Bluetooth 3.0 and can pair up with iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini, iPhone 5 and 6. Plus there are a ton of non-Apple products that it works with like the Galaxy Note, Lumia, and many more. Chances are that the LZ380 will sync up with whichever device you have.
These headphones have a 10-hour lifespan and you can recharge them using a USB port. It takes two hours for them to fully recharge. These headphones are legit. If you are looking to get more info check out their site at http://www.xqisit.com.

WWE Legend Mick Foley Talks Stand-Up And Wrestling
Sunday, March 15th Levity Live Comedy Club in West Nyack, NY welcomes WWE’s Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley. The 3-time WWE champion and 2-time New York Times #1 best-selling author has a one-man stage show called “Hardcore Legend: An Evening with Mick Foley.” In this show Foley tells his incredible stories of is time in the WWE using humor and intensity.
Mick has took his show worldwide with glowing praise where ever he goes. Best-selling author Paul O’Brien, writing for The Layfield Report wrote, “He always leaves them laughing. Laughing, standing at the end and always wanting more.” Even the decidedly non-wrestling publication Broadway Babies mused “If you’re interested at all in wrestling, you’ll love it; if you’re not, you’ll like it.”
Mick got the nickname “The Hardcore Legend” for his uncanny trait of taking punishment in some of the most dramatic matches in sports-entertainment history. No matter if he was Cactus Jack, Mankind, or as Mick he made the WWE fans always walk away amazed from his performance.
One of Foley’s most epic and brutal battle was with The Undertaker in 1998’s “Hell in a Cell” match, during which he was knocked unconscious after falls both off of and through the 16 foot Cell structure. Foley finished the match – with one of his front teeth lodged in his nose.
Mick wrote his autobiography of 700 pages all on notebook paper, which was later turned into “Have a Nice Day.” That book became number one on the New York Times best-seller list in October 1999. The book remained on the Times list for twenty six weeks. In 2001 Mick wrote “Foley is Good” and was on The New York Times list as well. Foley has published a total of ten books; four memoirs, four children’s books, and two novels.
I had the great pleasure of talking with Mick about his tour and WWE days. To listen to the interview click here!
