It’s kind of unusual, but this Morning Countdown Clock was designed to double the drama of each and every morning of your life, because it doesn’t only wake you up, but it also lets you know how much time you have left before heading out the door.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

So, the clock gives you the chance to set two different alarms: one is for the wake up time, while the second is for the departure time. It might be a good idea, especially for those who waste time as much as they try not to, but, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a torture. And do you know why? Because the Morning Countdown Clock really counts down, as it lets you know when there’s an hour before you go, when you have 45 minutes before you go, then 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 3, 2, and, of course, when there’s only one minute left.

And if you think that’s about everything, then you are wrong, because this is where the nightmare begins. It tells you when you have 30 seconds, 20 seconds and here we go… “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”. And you’re ready to go. Or at least you should be.

Annoying, if you ask me, especially if you think that there’s a special greeting that the device plays and it will be in Japanese. Yeah right!

Anyway, if it didn’t scare you already, then go to Japan Trend Shop and buy one. You’ll be able to choose between white and blue, but it will cost you $33, irrespective of the model.

It’s a hot summer this summer and there’s nothing you’d better than than lazing on a beach with the sounds that make you feel like dancing in your ears.

This is why they give a much bigger importance to the accessories they wear on a regular basis, compared to men, who are only interested in having a device that is able to fulfil their needs. Therefore, it’s no surprise for anyone that women give a special attention to the earphones they want to purchase, for example.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The perfect headphones should be very close to their image of femininity, which depends very much on the personality of each woman and varies from one woman to another.

Offered by JVC Victor, these headphones come in a wide variety of styles, such as punk or pretty dainty. However, if you’re willing to pay a little bit of attention to the earphones, you’ll notice that they’re not targeted exclusively on women, as many of the designs can work on guys also.

Being commercialized by a Japanese company, chances are small for people outside this country to grab a pair of these headphones. Anyway, if you make your way to Japan, you’ll be able to purchase a pair for only $21.

So, if one of your favorite summer activities is to just laze at the pool all day long, then you should not forget a very important aspect that is related to increasing the pleasure. And I’m talking about music. You should never neglect the power of music, because it can work miracles exactly when you most need it.

So, here you have a waterproof speaker that is designed to float on water, right beside you. Designed by Elima, this wireless speaker is able to connect to a Bluetooth device that you might own, equipped with A2DP and AVRCP support, in order to transmit the sound. This means you can connect it to an MP3 player, to a phone that is able to playback MP3s, just like an iPhone. But watch out: the speaker can transmit music from a distance of no more than 10 meters (approximately 30 feet).

As for the features, this waterproof Bluetooth speaker comes with the following features: 2 x 2W speakers with an impendence of 8Ohm, which enables a very clear stereo sound, two Bluetooth profiles, A2DP and AVRCP, an operation range of 10 meters and a power source consisting of four AA batteries.

The speaker is brought to you by Chinavision, for a price of $40.

I haven’t seen such thing before, but it was right about time for a device like this one to appear: you can’t tell whether it’s a mirror or a make-up or… yeah, why not, a speaker. Actually it’s a mixture between of the things a woman loves most in this world: make-up, a mirror, music and, of course, the pink color.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The first one is to make the ladies feel the prettiest on earth, the second is to show (or, why not, convince) them how beautiful they are, music helps them conquer anyone, while for pink there is no logical reason for them to be crazy about it.

Being shaped as a compact, this speaker has a mirror inside and a interchangeable face plate that can help the user customize it. In addition, there are a 3.5mm line out jack which is included in the package (it is compatible with an iPod, MP3 or a CD player) and a speaker unit that measures 50 millimeters in diameter. It runs on 3 xAAA batteries. The speaker can be purchased for approximately $24 from BB Shopping.

And even if the CS3 loudspeakers are quite expensive, they can’t compete, as far as the price is concerned, with the luxury ones, which is good, if you think about it, as long as you’re one of us, those who don’t have enormous bank accounts.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The CS3 are pretty good looking loudspeakers designed by Emerald Physics and more affordable than others. Affordable I say, because their price isn’t a six figures one. They are reasonable, if I may say so, as you can pick them up for only $2,995.

The features these top-end loudspeakers are equipped with include: single amp drive (important: biamping is not required), open baffle dipole, DSP equalized to +/- 0.5dB, high resolution, room interaction is brought to the minimum, wide dynamic range and natural timbre and pitch.

If you’re interested in the version with black wood finish, you can have it for $2,995, while the one with cherry, mahogany or maple finish could cost you around $3,295.

In the given context, Scosche Industries has just announced that they are working to release in the near future ground-breaking earphones, equipped with integrated controls for the new iPod Shuffle (the third generation, to be more precise) with the new VoiceOver feature.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The new iPod Shuffle earphones will be called IDR (Increased Dynamic Range) and are said to come with the noise cancellation feature. In addition, the user will be given the chance to play, pause, to adjust the volume, to change tracks, to navigate their favorite playlist and even hear the name of the song they’re listening to or the name of the artist by only pressing one button.

Scoche is currently working on three different versions of earphones, the IDR350M, the IDR450M and the IDR650M, which are expected to become available sometimes during this spring. The prices will vary from $49.99 to $99.99.

In addition, the company is keen on developing an inline control adapter to allow people to use the headphones they might already own with the new iPod Shuffle. It’s just that the information about this product isn’t yet available.

“We are delighted to support the exciting new VoiceOver technology in the 4GB iPod shuffle”, said Kas Alves, the Executive Vice President of Scosche Industries, who also added that “Scosche’s focus on innovation means we’re ideally placed to develop new and exciting products like the IDR earphones”.

I have witnessed all sorts of crystals-encrusted headphones and I’m kind of sick and tired with so many bling-blings attached to earphones. And it seems that I’m not the only one who got bored with customized headphones, because Sennheiser decided to step further, to the next level: the customized microphones.

So, for the rock stars out there, I have the greatest news of them all, consisting of shiny mics that come in a wide variety of color combinations, which means you’ll have the chance to choose the customization suits better to your personality.

These cool microphones are available in one-color, two-colors and a multi-color version. For the last two you can choose the colors you like most and then the design, so the microphone skin will be to your liking. For the multi-color design will be used approximately 2,300 small crystals. If, for example, you would rather have a simpler skin, then you can opt for the chrome mic, which comes in two versions: the color chrome and the silver chrome.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The worst part about these skins is the fact that they’re quite expensive: the multicolor costs $999, the two-colors version costs $799, while the single color is estimated at $699. If you can’t afford something like this, look at the bright side: you can always have your own skin for your microphone for only $49.95 from the Sennheiser website.

I bet all my money on the fact that you all know that image of cartoon characters with two little creatures standing on their shoulders: a white one, the angel, and a red one, the devil, a pretty strong symbol of the eternal fight between right and wrong and of the human indecision.

The Angel & Devil earphones from Green House are the perfect illustration of the inner war I am talking about. They’re amusing and affordable, coming in several color combinations, such as black and white, magenta and white, pink and white, purple and white and red and white.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

As far as the features are concerned, they include: a frequency response of 20Hz – 20,000 Hz, a maximum power input of 5 mW, an impedance of 16 ohms, a 3.5 millimeters gold-plated connector and the 1 meter cable.

Don’t get too excited, the two little creatures won’t whisper anything in your ears, meaning suggestions concerning things you should or you should not do. They will only play your music over and over again.

If you’re interested in these weird headphones you can go to GeekStuff4U and grab them for no more than $34.
