A reader asks: I travel and commute a lot, and I need a set of headphones for my iPod and laptop. Those white earbuds just don't cut it on a plane or subway – especially for blocking out noise. I like to watch action movies, so they need to have good bass for those Hollywood explosions. But I'm also a jazz fan. Hey Reader: We're not crazy about stock earbuds, either, and we've tried ...

Oh Snoop, is there anything you can't do? The man that has conquered music, television, adult film, pee-wee football, and Martha Stewart is now setting his sights on the high-end headphone market, we just learned from Stuff.tv. The headphone makers at Skullcandy have now redesigned their Skullcrusher line of headphones in honor of Sir Snoopnizzle. The Snoop Crusher (seen above) features two ...

In our never-ending quest for newer and better Apple accessories, we came across a conceptual design for an iPod cradle that we hope catches the eyes of folks in Cupertino. Conceived by South Korean designer Eun Seok Huh, the design combines an iPod dock with a speaker, a mini-projector, and an alarm clock. The dock tilts and rotates, allowing for comfortable viewing regardless of your position. ...

If there's anyone who's raking in the iPhone cash besides Apple, it's the third-party accessory makers. From cases to speakers to, um, telescopes, there is no shortage of add-ons to tailor your iPhone to whatever your needs may be. ifrogz, a fairly well-known Apple accessory and custom-skin maker, hopes to take things to another level, though, with its customizable iPhone/iPod EarPollution ...

Analog music... Consider this the ultimate pimp slap... Contexture Design, a Vancouver-based company, has created an iPod Nano case made out of recycled cassette tapes. Daaaamn, '80, you just got plaaaayed... We hadn't even seen a cassette tape in five years when we stumbled across this retro gem. The Nano gently snuggles into the remodeled Maxell cassette, providing protection to your pricey ...

Are you tired of sneaking off to the janitor's closet to get some shut eye? Well, we are too. Fortunately, for all of us beaten down by oppressive bosses and long work weeks, there is someone out there who yearns for sleep enough to actually to do something about the problem. That person, by the way, is Ivonne Dippmann. A student at the University of Berlin (Germany), Dippman created the a ...

It seems that not a day goes by when some new iPod speaker dock doesn't come out, but only so often do such products come from loudspeaker companies that have been around since the days of cassettes and LPs. Bose and B&W have offered up their models, but only now is Boston Acoustics getting into the iPod speaker game with this week's release of the i-DS2, a simple, one-piece iPod speaker ...

JVC was showing off its NX-PN7 dual iPod dock way back at a CES at the beginning of this year, but it looks like it's just now gotten its act together and finally pushed the thing out the door. It doesn't seem like much has changed in the ensuing months, however, with the dock still boasting the same ability to not only charge two iPods (or iPhones) at the same time, but playback each one ...

Boston Acoustics' new Horizon radios have "Mom" written all over them. The Horizon comes in two models: a mono model (Horizon Solo, $99.99), and a stereo model with built-in iPod dock (Horizon Duo-I, $199.99) -- both have a built-in AM/FM tuner. The Horizon radios have a clean, light visual design: rather than the being stuck with the usual gunmetal/black/gray color options, moms can ...

Okay, so the all-singing, all-dancing iPod is great for many things: Listening to music, watching movies, and ... well, that's kinda it, actually. But, like any social phenomenon, the iPod has had its fair share of exploitation by various corporate hangers-on. So the folks at Cracked have compiled a list of the least useful iPod accessories money can (but really shouldn't) buy, ranging from an ...

Quick, imagine everything that you love about your iPod. The small size, the style, the convenience -- all fantastic attributes right? Well, imagine a device that's exactly the opposite and you are left with the iBig Box. The iBig Box is a very large inflatable boombox that has an iPod dock and felt control buttons. It is large and bulky and completely defeats the purpose of owning modern ...

These days, pretty much everything -- from cars to jackets to small farm animals -- has become MP3-friendly. The latest example of the digital music ubiquity is the new iBoxer from Play Underwear. Available in both mens' and womens' designs, the iBoxer features a small pocket on the left hip that gently cradles your MP3 player of choice so you can frolic freely -- ...

Finally, a gift for the child who wants a puppy, a stereo and a robot for Christmas: The iDog Amp'd, quite possibly the strangest iPod accessory we've seen since the iCan't-keep-making-i-jokes-anymore. ...

Got a DJ in your life? Here's the perfect gift: The recently-upgraded Numark's iDJ2 improves upon the original by bringing some of its more advanced functions from CD DJ units to this iPod docking DJ station. With some fancy technical maneuvering, Numark has been able to allow DJs to play and mix two songs simultaneously from a single iPod via the central color LCD display. With a complete ...
