Clip on Earbuds for the Accessory Junkie

Earmecca Earphone Earrings
Although we’re usually not ones to report on headphones, these little ear buds seemed worthy.  Serving both those in motion and those requiring a touch of style - accessory junkies will love these - the Earmecca ‘EP series’ headphones include an earring like clip that attaches the base of the buds to the lobe.  They come in 10 different styles and swivel 360 degrees when locked into place.  Probably serve a purpose on the treadmill, but wait of the ‘jewel’ should be a concern.

Anyone seen the Howard Stern movie? The woman climbs on to a speaker and…anyway, you could probably plug this thing into the TV and watch you know what. Currently it’s only a concept, but check out the rest of James Owen’s work.

Tube Speakers by Hiatiaues

Check out these crazy looking speakers that utilizes car like exhaust tubes to increase bass response - originally referred to as ‘acoustic nozzles’ by its French manufacture Haliaetus. The Firebird speakers are rated at 50-20k Hz +/- 3dB with 87dB and 6 ohms, which according to our friends over at Sonic Flare are ‘very typical’. A Stanley Cup turned sideways makes for a subwoofer version called the Booster, which is rated at an also average 25Hz.

Toshiba et20 DVD surround sound projector

Toshiba et20 projector

Looking to build a home theater room with a nice projector?  Not in the mood to run cables all over the place?  Then the Toshiba et20 may be the projector for you.  This all-in-one projector features a DVD player and built in 5.1 surround sound system.

The projector is supposedly pretty good quality to.  It will project a 39-inch image from 27-inches away, or 78-inch image from a mere 39-inches away.  It’s got a HQV image processor that promises HD quality output out of standard definition DVDs.

I wouldn’t expect that much out of it.  But for $1,900 you do get a movie theater in a box.

Panasonic SA-XR57: HDMI receiver with HDAVI control

If you own a Pansonic TV and DVD player with HDMI, then we have the receiver for you — the Panasonic SA-XR57.

This newly introduced receiver supports Panasonic’s HDAVI Control over HDMI. What this basically means if you have a Panasonic DVD player / Television that supports HDAVI over HDMI, the SA-XR57 is able to control the other devices.

One cable. HDMI. It will send over your high definition video, multi-channel audio, and now control signals! All you’ll need is just this one remote and it will intelligently control the rest of your system.

I’ve been waiting for this feature forever. It’s really nice to see a company sending everything over one cable.

The $399 is also fully featured. It has most of today’s most advanced surround sound and multi-channel sound formats: Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES and DTS NEO:6. None of the high definition ones, however.

The receiver is powerful enough to deliever 100 watts over all of its support 7 channels. You can even buy the optional Panasonic SH-FX60 wireless rear speakers.

Not bad for a low end receiver.
