V-Moda vamps out another set of headphones with the Revamp

Shane McGlaun, Jul 22nd 2011 Discuss [0]

I have used V-Moda headphones in the past and I can say from experience that they sound really good. I am not a big fan of over the ear headphones though. I prefer the in-ear style that can block sound and have a remote for my iPhone as well. V-Moda has added a new set of headphones to its True Blood branded line to go along with the V-80 True Blood headphones that we talked about a while back. Read The Full Story

Back in January 2011, we were running around like mad trying to grab all the sweet hands-on action we knew you'd like with all the electronics under the sun at CES 2011.

Turns out these lovely music deliverers have gotten a full overhaul and are now known as BlueAnt Embrace Headphones. Have a look at what these iPhone, iPod, iDevice specific headphones have to offer today! Read The Full Story

SOUL by Ludacris Audio Equipment Shipping Inside May 2011

Chris Burns, May 25th 2011 Discuss [0]

That's this month! They'd better get them out the door if they expect them to make good on their word, and by they I of course mean SOUL by Ludacris. This is a series of headphones and earbuds right along the same lines as Beats by Dre and the now-defunct Sleek by 50. What we're looking at hear is three different models of headphone, two different models of earbud, all of them in conservative, muted tones like white, black, gray, and a few rogues like bright red, blue, and the most excellent gold-plated SL300s.

Donax Seashell Headphones by the Seashore

Chris Burns, May 18th 2011 Discuss [3]

Nature's most awesome amplifier is an echo, sure, but what's nature's most excellent sound container? A seashell of course, it's got the entire ocean hidden inside, all of the sound just waiting for you to listen. Apostol Tnokovski knows this, and he's right on the cuff of turning nature back into something we can package. Thusly there is the Donax headphone set, available in black or white. Should they be cordless? What about real shells, where does this leave them? Read The Full Story

Sleek by 50 Headphones Finished, G-Unit and Sleek Part Ways, World Weeps

Chris Burns, May 6th 2011 Discuss [3]

Did you know that rapper 50 Cent had his own line of headphones? We did, we got a look at the units way back at the beginning of this year at CES 2011 - $400 headphones with some lovely features, the unit called a "Wireless Hybrid," able to work with or without a cord - the cord in place incase you run out of rechargeable power. All that's over now! It seems that 50 Cent and his G-Unit have decided that they don't agree with the path that Sleek by 50 was going down, thusly Sleek and the rap label have parted ways. Let's have a moment of silence for what was certainly going to be the most important collaboration of our time. Read The Full Story
