Monster iSport Livestrong headphones give you charitable beats
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesMonsteriSport Livestrong
Monster has announced that it is to team up with RadioShack for the launch of the new iSport Livestrong branded in-ear headphones, which are specifically designed for athletes and enthusiasts.
However, the design of the headphones might not be everyone's cup of tea as they "boldly feature Livestrong's iconic bright yellow on both the cable and earpieces".
Being headphones designed for the sportsman, they are sweatproof and washable and feature a variety of innovations that set them apart from all others. One of these is the the nagging problem of in-ear headphones that slip out during strenuous use. Monster deals with this through a patented in-ear clip anchor system, which fits the curve of...

Samsung launches new wired and wireless headsets for mobile warriors
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesSamsungHM6000HM1800EHS60EHS63EHS70EHS71
Samsung isn't letting CES go by without introducing a few new accessories for its mobile devices. A pair of Bluetooth headsets are on tap, the HM1800 and HM6000 (the latter of which boasts a pair of mics for noise cancellation ) but, oddly enough, it the company's "your sound" wired models that are getting the bulk of the attention. The EHS-60, 63, 70 and 71 all offer a twist on the wired stereo headset model. The high-end 70 and 71 are crafted of aluminum and include welcome features like anti-tangle cords. The most interesting, though, are certainly the asymmetrical EHS-63s which feature an in-ear bud for higher frequencies and an open-air speaker for low-end. Check out the PR after the br...

ASUS intros USB MS-100 speakers, HS-W1 headset
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesASUSHS-W1
Computer maker ASUS has just introduced two new USB audio products for notebook and desktop computers with the HS-W1 Wireless USB Headset and MS-100 speakers. The headsets have 70mm leather earpads for comfort and use 2.4GHz wireless tech that offers up to 50 feet of range. Users need to plug in a small USB dongle to send CD-quality wireless audio.
There are 40mm drivers and a built-in equalizer in each earpad, along with a noise-filtering microphone. A rotate-to-mute design is more intuitive than a small button, ASUS believes, as are the large on-ear volume controls. The built-in battery is said to offer up to eight hours of running time. The headphones fold and weigh 170 grams (0.37 pounds...

SteelSeries lends Fnatic support to limited edition gaming mouse and headset
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesMouse DevicesSteelSeries7HSensei
We know who SteelSeries is going to be supporting at this winter's DreamHack gaming competition in Sweden. The peripheral maker has just announced new versions of its Sensei mouse and 7H headset, decked out in the black-and-orange regalia of Team Fnatic. While there's little difference in the products from their vanilla versions, SteelSeries says that Fnatic collaborated in the development of the original equipment — albeit along with several other teams, which makes us wonder what Fnatic did to get the gig. Maybe the folk at SteelSeries are into orange this season.
In any case, it's easy to see what's in it for Fnatic. The $99.99 Sensei mouse features 8 buttons and highly customizable sensi...

Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesMotorolaELITE SLIVERELITE FLIP
Motorola unveiled two new Bluetooth accessories – ELITE SLIVER and ELITE FLIP, touting them as the “world’s most advanced” headsets.

Nokia Luna Headset Crams NFC And Bluetooth Into Future-Perfect Pod
Like UnlikeFiled in: HeadphonesNOKIALuna
Nokia may have fumbled their way to smartphone irrelevance in recent years, but that doesn't mean they still can't make us drool over their other hardware. Their new Luna Bluetooth headset is tiny, colorful, and comes with a pod-like dock that's easy on the eyes. But it's the built-in NFC hardware that has us most excited.
Unless you spend every waking hour with a Bluetooth headset in your ear, you probably keep your phone's BT connection disabled until needed to conserve battery life. Which can unfortunately involve constantly digging through an annoying settings menu on some handsets. (COUGH-iPhone-COUGH) But when the Luna is used with an NFC equipped phone, the headset can automatically...
