Dazzling Budclicks Earbud Accessories

GeekSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:00:51 -0800

If you haven't already splurged for some pink glitz n' glam earbuds, here's an inexpensive way to add some flair to your basic white earphones.

Budclicks are interchangeable rubber covers that easily snap-on and snap-off the outside of your earbuds-I think I tested them all out! From stars to purple pineapples and skull heads, there is quite the selection to choose from. My personal fave being the bedazzled flowers!

Budclicks range in price from $5 (for smaller designs) to $15 (for larger designs). A great stocking stuffer indeed.

Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones by Lady Gaga

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:43:23 -0700

Singer and songwriter Lady Gaga - the queen of constant transformation with all of her outrageous outfits and intricate head accessories - has teamed up with Monster to debut her first pair of earphones.

Labeled "heartbeats," these in-ear headphones were designed by Lady Gaga herself and are said to be like no other headphones out there (not hard to believe, especially since they have her name attached to them!). And if the sound quality is anything comparable to the high-class Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, you're guaranteed to get your money's worth. They also feature ControlTalk functionality so you can listen to your music and easily answer a phone call while on the go.

These headphones will be hitting store shelves this October, although you can pre-order a pair in black, red, and bright chrome from Best Buy for $100.

I just love throwing on my runners and going for a nice long jog. I don't know if it's the wind in my hair or the rush of endorphins, there's just something great about being at one with nature while working up a sweat. Now I've already discussed some great iPhone armbands to use while you're working out, but what about the stuff for your iPod? Gear like earphones, accessories, and stylin' armbands? Here are some of my suggestions for keeping your running experience as enjoyable as possible while rocking out to your favorite tracks.

Geek Gear: Mu-Bot Robot Earphones For iPod

GeekSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:30:42 -0800

Robot love + deck accessory + music = The Mu-Bot Robot Earphones for iPod. Sure, it's not the most practical item ever, but the Mu-Bot Robot Earphones for iPod are - at the very least - multifunctional. They work as earphones, but the cord can be reeled inside the bot's tiny body for a cute desk accessory. You can wear the Mu-bot around your neck or have it stand next to your iPod (or any other MP3 player). The devices are currently sold out (hello, have you seen how adorable they are?!) but they should be back on the market soon. Something tells me Mimo Bot fans will buy out the next shipment, too.

Elecom Ear Drop Aqua Series Earphones: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:01:04 -0700

Remember the rhinestone studded heart eardrops that seemed to take the world by storm? Well Elecom has just released their next set of bejeweled MP3 accessories, dubbed the Ear Drop Aqua series earphones. Boasting the usual heart-shaped design, these ear drops will be available in blue, white, and pink hues and will only weigh three grams (which is a huge plus in my book). Finally a new geek-chic product to get excited about, except this product is a "Japan only" specialty and will cost around $31 when released later this month. Would you consider purchasing if you could find online somewhere?

Fun and Functional Techie Finds For Kids

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 06:04:24 -0700

As much as I go ga ga for techie products targeted for adults, there are certainly some accessories for kids that make me drool just as much. It's a given that kids today are going to be exposed to all sorts of technology, so it's only fitting that they be included in all the gadget frenzy fun. Here are some of my favorite child friendly tech toys.

The Sansa Shaker by Sandisk is a fun mp3 player that kids can shake to change the songs. They can also go wild customizing their players with the included colorful stickers. Each shaker comes with its own lanyard and a SD memory card slot so they can rock out to their fave tunes. And if they're not comfortable the earphones, there's a built-in speaker so they can blast their music for everyone to enjoy! Only $40 at Amazon.

Ok if your child is spoiled and has a 30, 40, or 80GB video iPod, or if you just want to protect yours, the iFrogz tadpole will provide you with comfortable grip handles to help make viewing easy and fun! The only exposed parts of the iPod are the click wheel, the screen and hold button. There are also headphones to go with the cases and are compatible with all iPod's. Cases are available in cool colors like mandrin orange, purple parade, pink panther, royal blue, lymon green and bright red. Price is $20 for the wrap or $25 with the headphones.

Techie Diva posted this adorable HANNspree bright red apple 10 inch LCD television- a perfect accessory for a playroom or kids bedroom. Just open the doors to reveal the TV as the speakers are right inside. Check out the site for more super cute styles. Price is around $400.

LEGO iPod Dock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:00:07 -0700

The LEGO obsession continues with this Lego iPod dock from 10x10. Featured on technabob, these tiny blocks come with built-in speakers, which I'm assuming are the crosses in the front. This may be a wild guess, but expect sound quality similar to that when you crank up your iPod full blast with the earphones still connected. As for a power source, that I'm still trying to figure out. Priced around $16. A geeky or geek chic accessory?

Are they cute enough to be considered chic, or are they useless and geeky accessories? Source: Techie Diva
