JBL has always been a purveyor of fine audio, which makes total sense considering its parent company is Harmon Kardon. A few years back, I reviewed some Reference 220 earbud headphones, which were affordable and sounded great on the iPod. This time around, JBL has teamed up with Quiksilver’s surfin’ sister company Roxy on a line of headphones that are catered towards young women. Do they stand the test of time? Perhaps.

Excuse the pun, but do Apple fans really give a “hoot” about owls? Sure, I suppose this Earbud Owl, made using a Epilog Zing laser cutter, does resemble the uber-geeky “O RLY?” macro, but that’s  about the furthest I can go with owl geekiness until I reach the point of obliviousness. Admittedly, this is a pretty neat idea. The owl’s big eyes are great for multiple things. Seeing things in the dark helps it survive and being big eyed in... Continue reading

Calling all celebrities and women from Long Island! Need a new fashion accessory to truly put you ahead of the curve? Try these diamond-encrusted earbuds that go great with your trippy iPod or Discman. Yes, Discman. Regardless of my absurd comments, a bunch of Swarovski crystals glued to some headphones will really show the other ladies who means cougar business. At $60,000 a pair, they damn well better morph into a Mercedes Benz or something equally amazing. But alas, you’ll... Continue reading

You know you love those stock iPod headphones Apple offers, so why not kick it up a notch? Score a pair of the 500 XLs, a set of speakers designed to resemble iPod headphones, just 500 times larger than the original. It includes a power adapter and can also run on batteries if you want to drag them around with you. The speakers stand up by themselves thanks to the back of each earbud. Lovely design. Get them on ThinkGeek... Continue reading

The iArtifact project is a design concept that is attempting to take on the extent of Apple fandom with a twist of the extreme. The iPod earbud earrings are kinda cool looking, but whats the point? Why not just buy your own pair of earbuds for a buck, cut them, and paint them silver? Also included in the iArtifcat project is desktop wallpaper and a bracelet. Though, the earbuds are the definite stand out piece. — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]

Just when we thought we had heard the last of Lindsay Lohan, we found these Wearable Speakers by Safesound Sports. The SSPS-1 do not have any connected earbuds. They are simply half-dollar shaped speakers that latch on to your shoulder. The SSPS-1 was made to help and control those damn “iPod Zombies” who walk around in an oblivious vegetable state, totally unconscious of the rest of the world. Resulting in car accidents and pedestrian injury. The Wearable Speakers are made... Continue reading

The Tune Tether is an invention that will probably make you sad. Why? Because it’s an invention that you could have created by yourself. It solves a problem that nearly everyone has had one time or another. When you are listening to your music through headphones and someone wants to talk to you, although your first reaction might be to ignore them, once you commit to taking your earbuds out, the Tune Tether comes into action. It is basically a... Continue reading

Wireless, specifically Bluetooth, headphones are starting to pick up momtentum, and for good reason. No one really wants to worry about that annoying wire that allows the person next to you to rip the headphones out if they want to talk to you. Maybe you should get rid of that per son sitting next to you instead. Either way, the Bluetrak ST1 Bluetooth headphones are a nice addition to the lineup of wireless headphones. They are not specifically iPod exclusive,... Continue reading
