Some combinations are just weird. The word is not enough to express what I want to say right now, but it’s the only one to cross my mind. And, after all, the combination is weird and I think I’ve said everything.
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.

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.

Loudspeakers can be very, but very expensive, especially when they’re part of a luxury line, and are somehow forbidden to regular people who would afford such devices not in a million years. It’s a shame that some of us will never have the chance to experience some of the products that are available in the market due to the impossibility to own them.
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.

Because the old iPod Shuffle is already history, as Apple made us all very happy with the release of its brand new device, the smallest music player in the whole world, it’s obvious and, of course, understandable, that companies rushed into developing accessories dedicated to the new device.
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 shuffleâ€, 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 earphonesâ€.

It’s been a while since I last wrote something about a gadget covered with Swarovski crystals and it’s not because they suddenly disappeared from the market and designers forgot all about them, but because I just didn’t have the chance to stumble over such a device.
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.

Since the first day of my life I’ve been said by each and every person that considered to be entitled to take care of my education that the world consists of two fundamental concepts: the good and the bad. Whenever I wanted to do something, I had to previously think about it, to think about the consequences and about the “compatibility†of my actions with the rules and principles of my own, but of the society also. I was given the freedom to do whatever I wanted, as long as I took responsibility for my decisions.
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.
