Monster Beats by Dr. Dre headphones scream cool
It's not always easy to get excited about a pair of headphones on first glance. Generally, the listening experience, which is gathered only after putting a set on and sitting down with some favorite music, is what draws people in. Not so with the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, a sweet-looking set that will relieve you of $350. While their sound quality is nothing to scoff at, their appeal as eye candy is undeniable. For audio enthusiasts who are tired of the same old look, the Beats are a must. Read more

Disturbing the peace: MP3 players with speakers
At first I wasn't sure how to feel about the trend of MP3 players with built-in speakers. The sound quality of these small, embedded speakers is always lousy and harsh, and ripe for abuse on a crowded bus. But, what I've found is that though these things can be a public nuisance, there are also plenty of useful purposes for MP3 players with built-in speakers. Read more
Portable Bluetooth speakers
There are better ways to share your music than lugging around a giant boombox. These days, many companies are now making portable speakers with built-in stereo Bluetooth, which allow you to stream your music wirelessly wherever you may go. Read more

Replacement earphones for iPhone 3G
Posted by exjoburger
I'm looking for a pair of replacement earphones for the iPhone 3G, preferably in black. Also, the earphones need to include a microphone, like the iPhone earphones do. As for sound quality, maybe something a bit better than the stock earphones. It was with the Sony Walkman NWZ-A818 with its upgraded earphones that I realized how much of a difference a good pair of earphones make.  Read more
