Tech Sexy with Hasselblad and Filippa K
The Hasselblad X1D is the latest model from the esteemed camera maker but what makes this medium format picture taking device different is the fact it is mirrorless. Compact, powerful, and rugged but with impressive handling dynamics.
We tested the X1D by producing fashion shoot with Black and Paper Creative Colleague Dale Grant featuring looks from Swedish brand Filippa K.

Tech Q&A Review from Black and Paper
The AfterShockz Wireless Trekz Titanium Headphones are connected via Bluetooth to smartphones and other listening devices. They are good for running, and other exercise.
What did you like about the AfterShockz Wireless?
While I am riding my bike using the headsets I can hear everything around me, in traffic this is important for safety. I can use wear them with my helmet. Because the sound travels along the jawbone my ears are free. The headsets are easy to connect to different devices. I wore them around the house while doing other things they were very comfortable, the fit was snug.
When I was in the room I could listen to two different sources. I am the type of to have a conversation and listen to my audio book. I listened to football games while sitting on my terrace.
Was there a disadvantage with wireless technology?
The sound quality dropped a bit with music.
How was the battery charge?
Fine, I managed to listen to a hold game and then some on one charge.
Would you recommend AfterShockz Headset?
Yes, my work colleague asked me about it. He bought one for himself and his girlfriend.
On a scale of 1 to 10 what would you score the device? 8.5
AfterShockz Wireless Trekz Titanium Headphones are available in stores and online.

IFA16 Highlights
Bang and Olufsen
Futuristic minimalism in the shape of a cone from Bang and Olufsen, always known for superior sound quality, the brand played to its strength by introducing two wireless 360 degree speaker designs, the small BeoSound 1 and larger BeoSound 2. Both are rechargeable with a battery life of 16 hours. The shining models stuck out but I liked the softer toned ones.
Sphero
Star Wars Fans will have hours of fun with the motion controlled BB8 droid. The wrist band enables the user to push and pull the droid with arm gestures. The app describes in details how to full use the small robot. I saw a demonstration. It could get addictive, connective toys are the future.
Aedle
Designed and made in Paris, Aedle headphones are for those looking for a subtler but higher style quality with headphone gear. Constructed with fine leather and other materials there are two choices to choose, over ear or in-ear, both are elegant. When I travel to Paris I will interview the team behind the brand.
Philips
The consumer brand giant had two products we liked. The new Innergizer blender can mix anything in a moment. The second appliance we played with was the Air Cooker, no grease, or oil is needed, all is done by recycled hot air even French Fries.
ZTE
Affordable high end smartphone from the ZTE with Axom 7 mini, a smaller version of the company’s flagship phone but still packing a punch using Android 6.0 OS featuring a 5.2 inch screen, all metal body and curved designed. it delivers a number of good features without breaking the bank including Dolby Speakers and a 16 megapixel camera.
Huawei
I handled the phone, it is smooth and stylish but what attracted me the most were the colors blue and red. It is slim and light with a Leica camera. I have not tested the device yet but soon.

Headphones + Lux = Pryma
The Black and Paper Q&A with Pryma
How does the brand fuse fashion without sacrificing sound quality?
Sonus faber has been handcrafting the finest loudspeakers in the industry for almost 40 years.
Sound quality is our heritage, and elegance is in our DNA.
Every single one of our speakers was designed with a unique design and unparalleled sound quality.
The same applies with PRYMA, the same taste, the same meticulous details and craftsmanship have been applied to the headphones, being assembled by hands at the Sonus faber, Italy.
For audiophiles, what is the top feature Pryma?
From an audiophile standpoint, PRYMA headphones are very efficient since they can be driven by any sort of devices. If you want to get extra performances you can attach it to HP amplifier.
The sound quality is as pure as it gets. PRYMA headphones translate the way the artist intended the music to sound.
What are the materials used for the headphones?
Our headphones are composed of Italian leather (the headbands) and Italian aluminum (the shell), sourced from the nicest luxury and fashion material providers in Italy.
Then, the ear cups are either composed of Premium carbon fiber or acoustically tested polycarbonate.
With comfort being so important for the wearer is there a lot of adjustment needed for your headsets?
Sonus faber and Pryma designer, Livio Cucuzza, made sure that the headphones look as good as they sound. And like an Italian tailor made suit, they are perfectly fitted for the wearer’s ears.
One of the nicest features is the fact that they are extremely modulable, and the user can adjust the headbands with a unique buckle and clasp system, an elegant solution.
Are there any plans to expand to the model collection?
Yes, PRYMA is now a big part of The McIntosh Group, and will grow even bigger in the future!
We are already working on many exciting projects that I am sure you will have the chance to see soon in the Luxury and Fashion world.
Pryma headphones are available in luxury stores including Colette Paris and Barney’s New York City.
