V-MODA Crossfade M-100 Review
This week we’ve had a look (or a listen, rather) to the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 over-ear headphones, the newest in a line of hardcore solutions from the team that brought you some of the best ear-blasting sound machines we’ve got in our review archives. This newest design is what the company calls “crowdsourced” as they’ve made the creation process one where more people were involved than on any previous project in the company – audiophiles, producers, editors, and DJs alike. The end product is a pair of headphones that sound just as good or better than the Limited Edition LP2s we saw last year (and the original LPs back in 2010) in a slightly more compact setup – a win win!
Google Glasses to include bone conduction technology
Google recently submitted FCC filings for their upcoming Google Glasses. The pair includes 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, but they also include bone conduction technology, meaning that you can listen to audio without having pesky earbuds or headphones. Vibrations that travel through bones near your ears allow you to listen to music, while still hearing what goes on around you.

Bone conducting hat lets you listen to music and take calls with no headphones
Sometimes when I'm driving or sitting in the car for an extended period of time, I like to listen to audio books. The problem is that I hate using in-ear headphones because they always seem to amplify the sound of the cables moving around more than the book I'm listening to. I also don't care for over the ear headphones because they get hot and uncomfortable after a while.
