Epson's Collaboration with Bose on Lifestudio Projectors

Epson has launched a new series of projectors under the Lifestudio brand, which includes a variety of portable and ultra-short throw models suitable for home theaters, offering both 4K and Full HD options.

Advanced Audio with Bose Partnership

Through a collaboration with Bose, each projector in the lineup incorporates high-quality integrated speakers. The enhancements in sound complement Epson’s latest 3LCD projection technology, alongside features like Google TV and a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android devices to create streams of movies and photo slideshows.

Highlights of the Lifestudio Series

The lineup's premium offering, the Epson Lifestudio Grand, is an ultra-short throw projector priced at $2,699.99. It's capable of projecting a 120-inch 4K image from a mere 15.2 inches away, boasting 3,600 lumens for exceptionally bright imagery. This model is on the bulkier side at over 16 pounds but delivers powerful audio through dual 45mm speakers and an 80mm subwoofer.

For those looking for a more budget-conscious choice without compromising functionality, the $999.99 Flex Plus and the $849.99 Flex are available. These models feature a flexible tabletop support for optimal setup, and dual 40mm speakers enhanced by passive radiators to enrich lower sound frequencies.

Flex Plus Features

The Lifestudio Flex Plus model provides 4K projection with 1,000 lumens of brightness, doubling as a unique lighting solution. It can be powered via USB-C, either through an adapter or a 100W power bank, offering portable viewing capabilities for up to 70 minutes using a 24,000mAh battery.

For a less costly alternative, the Lifestudio Flex limits its projection to 1080P with 700 lumens and does not support charging through USB-C.

Economical Choices

The lineup also includes the $679.99 Pop and $799.99 Pop Plus, which provide viable options for budget-conscious consumers. Both projectors maintain 700 lumens brightness and offer 1080P and 4K resolutions, respectively. Each unit incorporates a 20mm tweeter and a 40mm full-range speaker, with passive radiators enhancing the bass output.
