Ultrasone of Germany has unveiled its smallest pair of headphones in its collection, the HFI-15G. This pair comes with an open-back supra-aural design that boasts a decentralized driver position which is touted to widen the sound-stage simply by directing the waves to the outer ear - taking a different route that most normal headphones do by directing said waves straight into the ear canal.
Features of the HFI-15G include :-
- Frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz
- Sound pressure level of 96dB
- 40mm Mylar drivers
- Impedance of 32 Ohms.
- 85 grams (minus cord)

Sleek Audio and Kleer have come together to develop a wireless music streaming adapter that will be used alongside Sleek Audio’s very own SA6 in-ear headphones. Relying on Kleer’s 2.4GHz radio link, you will be able to enjoy CD-quality audio as well as 10 times more battery life compared to a Bluetooth headset, and this goes to say a whole lot about the device.
Plugging in the adapter into the 3.5mm stereo jack of the device, you will be able to enjoy wireless audio on your SA6 headphones within a 60 foot radius, and this can be used with three other users as well. The Sleek Wireless adapter will retail for $120 and ships by next Monday.

This is Motorola’s second Bluetooth headset for today. The H780 has noise-cancellation, seven hours of battery life (according to the specifications), along with a strong design style that users will either love or hate (which are you?): a textured side with a carbon fiber finish.

Audiovox introduced the Acoustic Research ARNC01 earbuds that tout to offer active processing which helps reduce ambient noise, allowing you to enjoy your music even more fully even when traveling on an airplane full of crying babes and talkative elderlies.
The circuits of the ARNC01 are stowed away safely in an in-line module complete with an On/Off button as well as a compartment for a solitary AAAA battery (now that’s something really rare, like finding a strand of hair on Kojak’s head) that is able to run for up to 50 hours before exhausting itself.

Thanko has launched their new earring headphones known as the Sounds Live Magnetic headphones. They look pretty much like earrings, and can be clipped onto an earlobe whenever you want to listen to your favorite tunes.
Each pair will offer a frequency response of 20Hz-25,000Hz, an impedance of 32?, and a sensitivity of 100dB/mW. Each pair will retail for approximately $19 in Japan, but definitely not meant for the macho types who prefer much larger cans over their ears.

Sennheiser is famous for their range of headphones and other audio equipment, and this time round they have delivered yet again with the VMX Office Bluetooth headset. This new device will target the new generation of mobile workers, connected by a base station to landline phones, computers as well as Bluetooth-enabled cell phones.
It is a snap to alternate between a desk phone, cell phone and PC application, letting you make hands-free conversations across either one of the three platforms as long as you remain within the 35 meter radius. Good thing it isn’t overtly complicated either, as a single button makes it a snap to use. The VMX Office’s ActiveGard feature reduces surges in volume in milliseconds automatically to further preserve your hearing while at work.
Each VMX Office will come with a 5 hour talktime and 100 hours of standby time. It will be available before the month is over for a yet undisclosed price.

Apple aims to enhance your audio listening experience by releasing the Apple In-Ear Headphones that feature two separate high-performance drivers, where a woofer caters for bass needs and mid-range sounds while the tweeter handles high-frequency audio.
These drivers will ensure you get accurate and detailed audio all the time, but of course, that is subjected to the quality of your MP3 encoding as well. Amazingly enough, Apple has priced this pair of headphones at just $79, making them much more affordable compared to Shures and other premium brands.

Thanko’s most famous for their range of quirky devices, and the Sound Lives Stereo Earphone is no different. This pair of earphones don’t follow conventional wisdom, featuring instead a tiny speaker on the outer ear that is able to swivel up to 90 degrees, enabling those who suffer from ear fatigue to enjoy audio without shutting themselves out from the environment completely.
Sounds ideal if you want to enjoy music while jogging outdoors, but the blare from the Sound Lives Stereo Earphone might also upset other joggers who prefer a quiet morning run without being subject to Britney Spears and other sugary sweet pop stars of today. You can pick up the Sound Lives Stereo Earphone from Thanko for $18.
