Fun, Furry Ear Muff Headphones For Winter

GeekSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:47:53 -0800

The weather may be getting chilly, but that doesn't mean you should sacrifice your favorite music! These furry Ear Muff Headphones ($20) keep your ears warm while playing music through their built-in headphones. They also have an extra-long cord, so you can keep your MP3 player in your bag or pocket - which mean no cold hands!

I can't wait to don these during the snowy weather this Winter. I can't decide which wintry headphones I like better; these fuzzy ear muffs or the knit headphones I spotted a few weeks ago.

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:15:38 -0700

When he's not perfecting his rumba or two step moves on Dancing With the Stars with partner Chelsie Hightower, professional snowboarder Louie Vito can be spotted with his high-class headphones - the Beats by Dr. Dre - which offer amazing audio clarity and extra large speaker drivers for exceptional deep bass. A pair will cost you $300, although you can pick up the in-ear Beats by Dr. Dre for only $150. For those hefty prices, you better use them for more than just a stylish neck accessory!

Gear Review: 2XL Colorful Earbuds

FitSugar — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:30:51 -0700

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. They come in tons of color combinations so you can get a few pairs to match your fitness outfits and not break the bank.

To hear why I love these earbuds read more.

The earbuds on the right are called Groove ($15), and they're my fave for running since they wrap around the back of your ear and stay put even when doing sprinting intervals. I like that the speaker part just sits outside of the opening to your ear canal, because then I can hear my music, but can also hear what's going on around me - you know, in case a bear sneaks up behind me on the trail.

I also like the Spoke ($15) in-ear buds shown in the middle. Not only because they're metallic pink, but because they fit snugly inside my ears, and are perfect for strength training when I need to hear nothing but Christina Aguilera while doing squats thrusts. These buds come with three sets of changeable gels so you can get a comfortable fit no matter what size ears you have.

The earbuds on the left are called Ratio ($10), and they're just like the earbuds that come with your iPod. So if you prefer this model but are bored with the plain white ones you have, these come in seven different colors to suit your personality.

Check out all the color patterns below.

First Headphones, Now Earbuds: Is This the New Jewelry?

GeekSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:42:49 -0700

OK, I'm all for making geek chic, but this is kind of pushing it. First, So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson sported her pink headphones on camera, and now, on Comedy Central's new show Michael and Michael Have Issues, boss Biederman wears his earbuds around his neck.

The big difference between the SYTYCD and Michael is that it's possible that Gibson was listening to her cans before the taping and just left them on, but the earbuds are part of Michael's Josh Pais's character - he always wears the Apple earbuds around his neck, with no iPod in sight.

I wear my earbuds like this when I'm going somewhere after listening to my iPod and plan to listen to it again when I leave, but it's funny that the character rocks the earbuds continually.

Do you wear your earbuds like this? What's behind the look? Status? Convenience? Just like the way it looks?

Are Headphones the New Neck Accessory?

GeekSugar — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:00:36 -0700

I'm so happy that So You Think You Can Dance is totally coming through for my dancing and tech obsession! During the top eight performances on Wednesday, choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson (whom you might remember from Making the Band) coached dancers Jeanine and Brandon through a hot number (check out the entire segment here). But even hotter was what Laurie Ann was wearing during the performance: headphones! Nope, she wasn't listening to the latest hits in-between jumps and stomps, she just, you know, was wearing them.

Are headphones becoming the new hot neck accessory, even when you aren't bumping your tunes? You know I love a stylish pair of cans, but it leaves me wondering: can anyone else pull off this look?

"Thriller" Themed Headphones Make Your Music Spooky, Scary

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 07:33:50 -0700

I'm all about rocking the big headphones, and although this set isn't exactly my cup of tea, they are commendable nonetheless. These spooky graveyard headphones took one of the top spots at a Nokia design competition in London last week, and will be made and sold at select stores.

Topped with tombstones, grass, zombies and monster heads, the design team of ATOM Creative Solutions based the design on Michael Jackson's "Thriller." It's quite the geeky tribute to the late icon, and if you want to check out these custom and one-of-a-kind cans in person, you'll need to head over to the Nokia flagship store in London.
