Sound & Vision and TEN: The Enthusiast Network has teamed with Klipsch Audio to give our readers the chance to win tickets to the 2016 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 8th at New York’s Barclay Center.

At last week’s ISE show in Amsterdam, Stewart Filmscreen broke out the hilarious trailer of the upcoming Secret Life of Pets to demonstrate a new acoustically transparent screen material on a 16-foot-wide VistaScope Jumbo setup. Word has it that the highlight was a heart-pounding drum solo by rock legend Ginger Baker that topped 110 dB.

Klipsch Reference R6 Headphone
A reference headphone without the reference price is one way to look at the R6, an on-ear design that weighs just over a third of a pound and costs less than a hundred bucks. Its generous 1.5-inch custom-tuned drivers are ensconced in swiveling ear cups to ensure a good fit, and they’re voiced to emulate the sound of Klipsch’s Reference Series speakers. A pretty tall order. Travel Buddy: The headphone folds flat, making it an excellent travel companion, and it has an adjustable leather headband and padded memory foam cushions for noise isolation and comfort. A carrying case is included. Price: $79 ($99 for the R6i, which adds an iPhone-compatible in-line remote and microphone)

If you’ve ever wished you could drive the track at Daytona you might want to strap on a Samsung Gear VR headset and tune into the Daytona 500 on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
