The great advantage of the Beats by Dr. Dre is that because of their low impedance, they are very efficient and do not require a high power amplifier. The bass is powerful and you can feel it in your ears. You will enjoy these headphones only if you love bass. A down part is that they are incredibly pricey ($ 300). All genres of music (liked promised) sound remarkably clear and the quality sound is professional. These headphones are extremely stylish and their made from high quality materials such as scratch resistant gloss finish.
But it’s not all about Dr. Dre beats. Monster’s powered isolation technology easily removes external noise, so you actually hear every word from songs (even from the Hip Hop genre). The Beats headphone comes with a Monster iSoniTalk headphone cable with an answer button and microphone. Therefore you don’t have to worry about answering incoming calls while listening to your music. Big plush ear cushions will keep your ears safe from squishing. A detailed selected feature is the Sound Check from iTunes. This feature will level all the music tracks to one consistent volume.
The Beats by Dr. Dre headphones from Monster is compatible with all iPod models and with iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. The box contains, besides Beat Studio headphones, Monster Cable headphone cable, Monster iSoniTalk iPhone enabled headphone cable, Rigid Tour case, Anti Microbial Cleaning cloth, 1 / 8 to 1 / 4″ Adapter and two AAA batteries.
Specifications:
* Weight: 260 grams
* Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
* Maximum output: 115 dB
* Requires two AAA batteries (included)

Pros
– Sound is clear, rich, and directional. High quality MP3’s are what this thing is built for.
– The build, the look and the feel are solid: everything was well thought out; the headphone doesn’t feel like a toy.
Cons
–Interference on these phones seems to be a minor problem. At the $ 300 price point there should be no interference
–The mute button doesn’t cut the power to the headphones.
–Everyone can hear what you are listening to because of the noise leak.
If you can afford them and don’t mind that everyone else can hear what you are listening to then you should buy them. They are the ultimate bass experience until, of course, Beats 2.These are some pretty cool gadgets, some of the best.

Are you a coffee fan? You can have a USB coffee warmer on your desk, which will prevent your coffee to go cold, while you have tons of papers on your desk and try to finish them to take a sip from the cup. This is quite practical and funny, and it is very useful for workaholics. It doesn’t do the work for them, but at least it keeps the coffee warm.
If you didn’t find the perfect weapon yet for your boss, or your annoying work colleague, and why not spying neighbor, here it is the USB missile launcher; it has a great aim, and you can use it also for not working printers, but not on the computer in which it is plugged. You can hit anything, but it becomes painfully when you have to run around the room or the office, to pick up the earlier launched missiles.
The grooviest gadget on the list is very relaxing after a day at work, the USB disco ball can start either a party or conversations about the 70’s. It will bring to life Star Wars, drugs and all your memories from that period. Another gadget in this style is the Plasma Ball, which can help you relax during a hard day at work, or at home. You can watch the miracle of electricity on your desk, and moreover, it works on power provided by your computer.
You can impress your friends with your musical talent, by connecting a USB Drum Kit to you computer, and start having fun!You can use it at work too, before saying something important like “Going home time!” or “Goood morning everyone!”. They will love it.

If there’s an idea that I’d be happy to borrow and use on a regular basis, coming as a result of the technological development, then the idea would undoubtedly be related to the possibility that idea would give me to listen to my favorite music whenever I want, wherever I want.
And what better place one can choose than the bathroom, when relaxing after a hard working day in a bubble bath? It’s just that bringing music-centric devices somewhere near the water is not the best idea ever, unless you’re addicted to dangerous situations.

Nevertheless, this wireless device might be perfect for you, if you want to listen to your iPod tunes. The Wireless Bathroom Speaker is a stylish gadget that was designed to protect the music player from the danger called water.
“The wireless speaker works with a smaller transmitter that can be left in another room with your iPod or MP3 player connected via a standard 3.5mm jack. Just push play and your favorite tunes will be pumped out in the bathroom! A built-in wall bracket and a back stand make setting up the wireless speaker easy and its smart design and discreet size ensure it looks good in any bathroom.â€
The device is equipped with FM radio and an LCD clock. It runs on 4x AAA batteries that are being used for the main unit, while other 3x AAA batteries are used for the transmitter. As usual, the batteries are not included in the package. There’s also a AG-13 cell battery which comes in the box. The Wireless Bathroom Speaker is available at Gizoo.co.uk for a price of £24.95.
