Gear Review: 2XL Colorful Earbuds
Running with an iPod is as essential to me as a sports bra, but the earbuds that come with it won't stay in my ears unless I'm sitting still. If you have that issue too, then check out 2XL headphones. They have a few different models depending on your ear needs, but the best part is that they're really cheap — $10 to $15 a pair.

Brought to you by Skullcandy (the same makers behind the popular hesh headphones), their new 2XL collection includes these 4 Corners headphones ($20) that are not only inexpensive, retro and hip, but they actually have good audio-output quality.

Within one gift box, you'll get a lime onesie with a ghetto blaster, a white one with headphones, and a black one with Space Invaders on the front.
First Headphones, Now Earbuds: Is This the New Jewelry?
OK, I'm all for making geek chic, but this is kind of pushing it. First, So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson sported her pink headphones on camera, and now, on Comedy Central's new show Michael and Michael Have Issues, boss Biederman wears his earbuds around his neck.

Are Headphones the New Neck Accessory?
I'm so happy that So You Think You Can Dance is totally coming through for my dancing and tech obsession! During the top eight performances on Wednesday, choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson (whom you might remember from Making the Band) coached dancers Jeanine and Brandon through a hot number (check out the entire segment here). But even hotter was what Laurie Ann was wearing during the performance: headphones!
"Thriller" Themed Headphones Make Your Music Spooky, Scary
I'm all about rocking the big headphones, and although this set isn't exactly my cup of tea, they are commendable nonetheless. These spooky graveyard headphones took one of the top spots at a Nokia design competition in London last week, and will be made and sold at select stores.
Topped with tombstones, grass, zombies and monster heads, the design team of ATOM Creative Solutions based the design on Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
