NoiseBuster Active Noise-Canceling Hearing Protector
Posted by admin in Audio Gadgets on November 20th, 2009
Research has shown that most men have shorter lives than women due to the type of lifestyles they lead – including late nights of boozing with their mates, being in a high-pressured job, undergoing plenty of stress as he wonders how is he going to pull his family through a crisis, and perhaps even engaging in crazy stunts and sports for that bit of adrenaline rush. Well, most men too would be involved with the use of power tools, and is tasked with mowing the lawn with NASCAR race attendance as his reward. Some of those activities mentioned do involve being exposed to high levels of noise at any one time which if left unchecked, could lead to permanent hearing loss many years down the road. With Christmas coming up in slightly more than a month, why not give dad the protection he needs with the NoiseBuster Active Noise-Canceling Hearing Protector? This professional-grade, high-performance equipment will merge a passive earmuff with active noise-canceling electronics to deliver overall noise cancellation performance that is unmatched by any other hearing protector.
Apart from its superior noise cancellation, the NoiseBuster is full well capable of delivering awesome audio, essentially making this a great 2-in-1 audio choice – to prevent you from running a higher risk of hearing loss, while enjoying your favorite tunes in greater detail as it blocks external noise.

The NoiseBuster allows one to listen to music or the ball game without overamplifying or distorting the signal in order to compensate for the noise.
The NoiseBuster PA4000 is currently priced at $149, and if you happen to fork out that kind of money for it, you will be pleased to know it will come with a hard carry case, an audio cable and an AA battery to get you started right out of the box.

Those who are familiar with Sleek Audio will notice that the SA1 does draw some inspiration from the company’s first product that hit the market in 2008, the groundbreaking SA6 earphone, which was touted to be the world’s first acoustically customizable and wireless compatible earphone. In fact, that pair boasted performance and innovation that helped it pick up the Popular Science “Best of What’s New” award for 2008.

The Many Headphones of iHarmonix
Posted by admin in Audio Gadgets on April 9th, 2009
Yes, I have reviewed many headphones on Coolest Gadgets before, and I am certainly going to review more in the future. At CES, I got a chance to try out iHarmonix, and they were kind enough to send me a sample. I have to say that out of the three headphones that I have, the iHarmonix are the ones that I use the most.
These High Fidelity Stereo earphones are for iPod and MP3 players, and they come in several models.
The Platinum i-Series have advanced sonic accuracy with super bass, brushed stainless steel and alloy housings, as well as an inline microphone. The Platinum ev-Series have the exact same features, except instead of an inline microphone, it has volume control. The Platinum e-Series also have the same features, and they have a comfortable fit.
The Pro i-Series is for any mobile music device or iPhone, iPhone 3G, and BlackBerry. It features high performance sound, ergonomic noise isolation, memory foam eartips, and an inline microphone. The Pro ev-Series have the exact same features, but they are only for iPod or MP3 players.
I had a chance to try out the Platinum e-Series (pictured here), and found that they did their job, and more. For example, I was watching The Hunt for Red October, and when I heard the ambient sounds of a submarine on the iHarmonix, I thought I was hearing the sounds of traffic outside. Not bad.
You should be able to purchase these headphones models and many others at the iHarmonix site for varied prices. The Platinum ev-Series are about $59.95, the Platinum e-Series cost $49.95, and the Pro i-Series are $39.95.
