Posted by admin in Audio Gadgets on March 13th, 2010
Skullcandy is back with their 50/50 composite ear buds which come complete with in-line microphone as well as track and volume control that are compatible with the iPhone of all generations. The whole line will be released this May, although those who want to pick up the black and white/green buds can do so on an exclusive basis from Apple stores at the moment. Sporting a rugged look as with all Skullcandy products, we do hope that the audio quality will live up to its name as well. ACcording to the manufacturer, composite materials with aluminum are more or less guaranteed to provide superior audio. The whole line will consist of half a dozen color options, so you should be able to find something that suits you.

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. Not something we would wear when going jogging or cycling though, as those activities require you to hear what’s going on outside just in case you end up as roadkill and a statistic. 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. All web purchases will automatically get a 10% discount, so what are you waiting for?

Sleek Audio with their SA1 earphones
Posted by admin in Audio Gadgets on November 18th, 2009
How many of you take your portable music listening experience seriously? As in, the moment you unpack your newly purchased portable media player, you chuck away the pair of headphones or earbuds packed within and put on a jacket, ready to do some serious shopping in order to garner the best listening experience possible? Well, Sleek Audio understands how you feel about that, and has released their highly anticipated SA1 wireless compatible earphones which offers above average audio quality without breaking the bank, guaranteed to put a smile on your face in the process. The SA1 offers wireless flexibility, tuning technology and stunning performance in a single package, so read on to find out more about it.
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. As for the SA1, it bosats a wooden body that has the similar patented cable design as found in the revolutionary SA6 as well as the CT6, and is compatible with Sleek Audio’s Kleer wireless system.
According to Jason Krywko, COO of Sleek Audio “Our number one priority is developing amazing sounding earphones that offer more to music lovers in terms of performance, style and comfort. The SA1 does just that, and was developed specifically to allow more people to enjoy our award winning products than ever before.”
Audio-wise, the SA1 utilizes a first-of-its-kind, custom tuned 6mm dynamic driver for surprising bass impact, stunning clarity and balanced sound signatures. It also forms part of the VQ system line, where listeners are allowed to adjust the frequency response of the earphone with treble tuning options. Depending on your preference, the SA1 can function as a wireless earphone or a wired one.

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.
