The popularity of the iPod and its matching white earbud headphones has contributed to one of the worst fashion trends in history: masses of people walking the streets with dorky headphones. The alternatives, namely large DJ headsets or Swarovski-laden earbuds, end up looking equally, if not more dorky. But what of these Aural New York colorful headphones?

The folks over at Elecom (it's a Japanese site, just a warning) are selling these colorful ear drops that I have been lusting after even though I know I don't need them. They come in fruity M&M colors like blue, green, yellow, orange, brown and pink (plus white but that's not very exciting!) and look like candies in your ear. Unlike the loud and very bright Aural New York headphones, which nearly 80 percent of geeksugar readers deemed "geek chic," the Elecom headphones offer more subtle drops of color.

Running with an iPod is as essential to me as a sports bra, but the earbuds that come with it won't stay in my ears unless I'm sitting still. If you have that issue too, then check out 2XL headphones. They have a few different models depending on your ear needs, but the best part is that they're really cheap — $10 to $15 a pair.

For those of you who are hipsters, trendsetters, or you just need a new pair of decent chic headphones, take a look at these rare audio accessories. Brought to you by Skullcandy (the same makers behind the popular hesh headphones), their new 2XL collection includes these 4 Corners headphones ($20) that are not only inexpensive, retro and hip, but they actually have good audio-output quality.
Currently out of stock (hmm, I wonder why?!), you can find these headphones in seven different color patterns.

A new Android handset has been born, and her name is Cliq. Announced yesterday here in San Francisco, Motorola unveiled their first Google Android device from T-Mobile — the Motorola Cliq. I got a hands-on demo of the shiny new phone and was pretty impressed with its fancy new features.

There's nothing worse than being crammed in the middle seat of the last row in coach right next to the bathroom. Just thinking about that makes me tense. The Wall Street Journal delivered bad news about those already smushed seats — they're being pushed even closer together!

Yesterday Apple announced its tiniest media player to date — the 4GB iPod Shuffle. Well today I cruised on over to the Apple store for some hands-on action with the new device and to test out these easy-access controls we've been hearing so much about — and the ones that most of you aren't very happy about. The actual headphone controls are pretty nifty and useful especially if you want to switch playlists, which you couldn't do with the second generation shuffle.

By teaming up with the home audio experts JBL, you can expect these new peripherals to offer killer sound quality and crisp audio. Roxy has already tapped into the electronics world with its fashionable speaker systems, so I won't be surprised if these take off with a big bang as well!
