Consumer tech updates: New e-ink gadgets and discounted soundbars

New consumer technology products are appearing through both crowdfunding platforms and retail discounts. On Kickstarter, the Jitrainno e-ink frame allows users to create art by whispering to the device, utilizing a low-power display that mimics the appearance of paper.

In the retail sector, Lidl is offering a discount on the Sharp HT-SB302 wireless soundbar, priced at €99.99. The device features 180 Watts of output power and supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Digital Surround technologies to provide spatial audio for home cinema setups. It includes connectivity options such as HDMI eARC and can be controlled via a television remote.
