"People aren't hearing all the music. Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can't really hear it with  normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn't move you. " - dr. dre That's a quote that basically epitomizes exactly what beats by dr.dre is all about. Headphones made for you to not only listen to the music but feel it the way it was always meant to be heard when mixed and produced at a recording studio. Back in January we reported on the collaboration of Monster and dr. dre and now beats has come to fruition.  A pair of headphones that not only look amazing but sound amazing too.

Lexie Barnes is back with a new line of boldly feminine laptop bags. We reviewed the "Echo" bag last year with great applause and this year's "Echo" bag does not disappoint either. Often times we find laptop bags being slapped into some awkward shade of pink like a tomboy shoved into a Sunday school dress. Lexie's collections don't follow suit. They exude a vibrant flow of style and color, while incorporating utility with ease.

Ironically, Bluetooth has been around for nearly 15 years; However, for most of this time, this technology was dormant. Thus, leading some experts in the technology field wondering whether Bluetooth would become what BETA players and its technology had become with the advent of VHS technology during the 1980's ---- Extinct (VHS had won out over BETA). However, with-in the last few years, technology and electronic manufacturers have found resounding uses for Bluetooth. Almost everyone is using a Bluetooth headphone these days with a Bluetooth enabled cellphone, computer, and most recently mp3 players.  We have seen Bluetooth spawn from version 1.0 to it's current inception (version 2.0). Thus, what this has meant to consumers has been a robust version of gadgets! No where is this more notable than with Bluetooth headsets.

Speck's SeeThru Candy Colored Hard Shell for the iMac has been designed with two purposes in mind. 1. To protect your sexy iMac from the elements 2. To give it a unique look. The first time we laid eyes on the SeeThru, it instantly brought us back memories of candy colored shell iMacs of yore. So there is definitely a retro design element to the SeeThru.

When the Pleo was released back in December of 07' I was curious to see if this robotic dinosaur lived up to all the hype. Was is it truly intuitive with humans and could it somehow become another member of your family? While originally marketed with kids in mind, Pleo became the pet for adults as well. We got a chance to spend some time with Pleo by Ugobe and see if in fact it did bring a little bit of Jurassic Park into our home.

In April we had the chance to go to the Samsung Spring Fever event and check out  some new products being released soon from Samsung. One of the items that struck us as especially unique was the YP-S2 MP3 Player aka the "Pebble." It was tiny and adorable and definitely female friendly. It would certainly give the Apple iPod Shuffle a run for its money. So because we begged and pleaded to play with one, Samsung was nice enough to send us one to review. So now we get see if the Pebble is really Bam Bam.

If you're fortunate to have an Auxiliary port in your car, and chances are if you have a new car you do have one, then get ready to dump your FM transmitter and replace it with the one of Kensington's mobile auxiliary car kits. The LiquidAUX Deluxe for iPhone and iPod connects directly to your cars auxiliary port to provide a static and headache free audio experience. Unlike with an FM transmitter which almost always involves some radio interference (even the best of them do) the LiquidAUX lets you connect your iPod or iPhone directly to your car's stereo system.

Logitech's New Pure-Fi Mobile wireless speaker and speakerphone is not the first of its kind. There are many other bluetooth speaker / speakerphone systems on the market but the majority of them fail to deliver a good audio experience. However, Logitech produces some very good speaker systems and iPod docks, so we hoped that the Pure-Fi Mobile would too. The Pure-Fi Mobile's goal is to deliver a great wireless audio experience for use with your phone or PC whilst being small and portable enough to travel with. The speaker can last up to 12 hours with its rechargeable batteries. Aside from connecting it to your A2DP enabled phone or PC, you can also connect your iPod or Mp3 player to the Pure-Fi Mobile via the 3.5MM stereo jacket. A cable is even supplied to do so. Of course that means that it won't be a wireless experience, but blame that on Apple for leaving A2DP bluetooth out.

Despite the fact that the iPhone has been out for almost a year now, FM transmitters designed for the iPhone have been slow to arrive on the market, though there have been a few non-approved ones that unofficially work with the iPhone. Belkin's new TuneBase FM is one of the first FM transmitters to be officially iPhone compatible, as well as compatible with other current gen iPods. The package comes with a big selection of adapters to fit different ipod models including the 4G and 5G iPod, the iPod classic, all three generation Nanos, and the iPod touch.

The likelihood of water mixing with oil is very improbable because of the chemical composition of both of these liquids; Equate that same theory with the infamous internationally renown Oakley eye wear giant and one of the top telecommunication icons, Motorola teaming up and perhaps you're left scratching your head. However, in as far as technology is concerned, these two companies have managed to blend high end eye wear with hands free bluetooth wireless technology, with the O ROKR PRO sunglasses ($249). Oakley eye wear is widely known for it's exacting durability and craftsmanship and sets the standard by which all other sporting and leisure eye wear companies emulate (think professional cyclist Lance Armstrong and more than a few professional baseball players that have several pair of Oakley's in their collection).

Earlier this year at CES we had reported on the Audiovox homebase Message Center and Digital Frame. At the time we where told it would be released in time for Mother's Day and alas it was. So would this be a new spin on the average Joe digital frame? I guess we shall see. Design: Before you add a gadget to your kitchen area it is very important to many that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and that it should be aesthetically pleasing. The homebase blends in by having an all white design except for the control keys to the left of the unit which are ...

The Split THUMP from Oakley is another addition to the Oakley THUMP family of sunglasses with built-in MP3 Players. I for one was never a fan of the original THUMP. I felt they were extremely masculine looking and certainly would not be considered very attractive on any woman. The Split THUMP however is a more softer, unisex approach with the original concept in mind but this time the design is a little more woman friendly. [gallery=20] Design: At first glance the Oakley Split THUMP is a bit less severe in style compared to the other sunglasses in this line. They are styled as a high end pair of sunglasses which could ...

The Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism is a fashion phone with a truly unique style the likes we haven't seen anywhere else. The Crystal Prism is special edition of the 7900 Prism phone that has been designed in partnership with French designer Frederique Daubal who designed special accessories and wallpapers especially for the Crystal Prism. Like most of Nokia's other model running Nokia's S40 5th Edition, the OS on the Nokia Prism is easy to use, fast and responsive. The 7900 also features an OLED 240x320 display that is really easy on the eyes, very colorful and is very much a pleasure to use. It even makes watching videos and ...

The Flamingo Music earbuds feature EarClick technology which promises to provide a customizable secure fit for your ear that is also "weightless". The product comes packaged with 6 EarClick ear-pads. I had to try on a few until I was able to find the one that fit my ear right. Once I found the appropriate one, the Flamingo did feel quite comfortable, however the non-appropriate sized ear clicks were just the opposite - they were uncomfortable. So you have to be sure to find the one that is best for you. True to their claim, the headphones did feel quite weightless as well, and the nature of the design ...

It is a pretty well known fact that the typical optical mouse can be a trying to work with in 3D environments. You just don't have that much flexibility to rotate items or pan smoothly. Especially when it comes to being on the road and you only have your dedicated laptop trackpad, it can be extremely difficult to work in 3D software. You just don't have that many fingers! 3DConnexion released the newest addition to their SpaceNavigator line, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks. Like the regular SpaceNavigator, the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks allows you to easily move around in 3D environments, but this one is more portable and travel friendly. We were lucky enough to get a some one on one time with the SpaceNavigator for Notebooks which was just released.

When I hit the road for a long car trip, I always bring my Nano in order to hear some decent music. I get so tired of the same rotation of music on the popular local stations in the city. So I like to spice it up with variety. I hadn't had much luck however listening to it decently in the car with other FM transmitters in the past. I was still using that archaic method of connecting my iPod to a the cassette tape and then inserting it into my tape deck. But just like 8 tracks, cassette decks in cars are becoming a thing of the past and getting harder and harder to find. So I was extremely excited when I received the Griffin RoadTrip SmartScan and iTrip Auto SmartScan to review. Off to the rental car company I went...

My Plasma is my best friend, when I get home it's the first thing I greet. But these days I haven't been feeling so well and I wanted to watch TV in bed. I really didn't want to have to pay for another cable box or get another small TV. I figured I would just turn one of my computers into a TV watching machine. So low and behold we were sent the TV Wonder HD 650 Combo for Mac from AMD to review. Features: Included in the box was the TV Wonder Unit for Mac, a power supply, a USB 2.0 Cable, a Driver and Application CD, and a user manual. On one side of the TV Wonder is CATV/FM and DTV coaxial connectors. The other side consists of a USB and power inputs, and on the top of the unit is 3 (red, yellow, white) Composite inputs and s-video jack for outputting to a VCR or camcorder for transferring footage.

One of the downsides of having a laptop is having to lug it around with you. Even if your laptop is only 5lbs, after awhile it begins to feel like it’s 50lbs and seemingly every part of your body starts to hurt. Not fun. Kensington, well known for computer accessories and peripherals, has launched a new line of Contour Balance notebook bags just for women. These bags both stylish and comfortable, so comfortable in fact, that they are endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association for maximizing comfort while minimizing muscle strain. Available with or without roller wheels, and also as a backpack, they retail from $69.99 to $119.99. True, a bit on the spendy side; but for the sturdy nature of the materials, I think it's money well worth spending.

Ever since acquiring Maxis (the original makers of the Sims Franchise), Electronic Arts (EA) has managed to create and expound on a very viable, highly addictive computer game that has achieved a cult like following; turning it into a sub culture, complete with its very own vernacular that continues to capture the hearts, minds, imaginations and in some respects transcend societal lines in terms of staying fresh in shaping the human condition that is called life. However, the good thing about The Sims is that it continues to entertain and delight millions of fans across the hemisphere! After all, it’s a computer game!

Previously we've talked about how Samsung wants to be a iPod shuffle and iPod Touch killer, well now Toshiba has entered the ring to take on the 3rd generation Nano. We have to say that they certainly know how to put up a good fight. At first glance we weren't sure how the Toshiba Gigabeat T-Series T400 was going to stack up next to the Nano but we were pleasantly surprised. So read on for our in depth review. Setup/Installation: The Toshiba Gigabeat T-Series installed pretty easily on computers running both Windows XP and Windows Vista. There was no drama or headaches involved. I just plugged in the USB cable into the USB port on the computer and on the Gigabeat and it was picked up automatically. A Windows dialog box popped up and asked me if I wanted to explore files on the Gigabeat. If you have WMA 11 you'll have a much easier time dropping and dragging songs/videos to sync. I had WMA 10 when I started this process and updated right away to WMA 11 and it was sooo much easier to get around and the Gigabeat sync'd to it much easier. The CD included with the player has the WMA 11 software included as well as User guides, Adobe Reader, and a link to the Gigabeat website. The device is truly plug and play and you will not break a sweat over installing it. Thankfully the USB cable not only serves to sync the player but charges it as well when connected to your computer.

As we all know iPod dock stations are a dime a dozen these days. However what make the few of them standout from the rest is their design and sound quality. The mStation Orb is one such Docking/Speaker Station that is great looking and great to listen too and we were lucky enough to review it. Setup/Installation: When we excitedly unpacked the Orb from its box we were greeted with a pretty slick docking station that resembles a red tomato. Other items included inside the box are 10 docking cradles, all in red as well as a color coordinated remote control, a USB Cable, and a stereo mini cable. On top of the Orb are 6 buttons: power, volume controls, previous, forward, and play/pause. These buttons are also located on the remote and you can also control the Bass and Treble from the remote. The remote is thin and light weight, only somewhat bigger than a credit card. Overall, setup was easy, and we easily snapped in the appropriate cradle for our 3rd generation Nano. Besides using the included cradles there is a Firewire port that allows you to connect really older iPod generations, which is a great feature that most iPod docking stations don't have. Then we plugged in the AC adapter to power the speaker and the included USB cable for syncing the Orb to your computer. The whole set-up took less than 5 minutes and even though there were instructions included, we figured it out on our own.
