My-oh-my, take a look at these knit headphones. I wonder if they would keep your ears warm too? I think they just made my day.

Premium headphones from skate, surf and snowboard headwear company, Neff, offering a superlative bass-boosted audio experience all while looking stylish with a knit outer. Fully adjustable headband; large and small adapter set included. Imported. Spot clean.

Not to overdo iPhone talk, but these decals are pretty funny.

(Note: Retailer doesn’t have a direct link, so you’ll have to enter ‘iPhone’ into their search to find the decals. Just thought I would give a heads up so that we don’t get a bunch of emails saying the link doesn’t work.)

This is an unlikely collaboration (in my opinion): a Chilewich iPhone cover…I can’t help but think it’s sort of a stretch to have this particular textile on an iPhone, but I guess it is a durable and tactile surface, so it kind of makes sense.

Impact resistant polycarbonate iPhone� covers are the result of a unique collaboration between Sandy Chilewich and Griffin Technology. Chilewich’s signature mini basketweave vinyl textile is adhered to the two piece Griffin EasyDock� design. These covers provide access to all controls and ports, and allow quick docking without removing the case.

Size: 4.75h x 2.75w x .5″d

It really makes my day when something currently only available on an undecipherable Japanese site suddenly shows up on a US or UK site. It’s a wonderful little thing that makes the world seem entirely less complicated. So, shall I present to you the Music Balloon? Some of you might have seen this on the other blogs a while back, but now (if you don’t read Japanese) you can buy it from a UK shop.

It’s not really a balloon, it’s a plug in speaker for your iPod / MP3 player.
Simply plug in and play.
This sponge foam speaker reminds us of 80’s TV presenter microphones and will happily sit on a desk or hanging out of a pocket while you play your tunes or check the latest podcasts.
Now you can cycle without headphones, irritate people on the bus and tube and share new music with friends without untangling headphone wires.

So, the new Kindle looks pretty sleek. I’m debating on whether or not the convenience would outweigh any loyalty I have to actual paper pages.

If you have headphones you know how frustrating the tangling issue can be. Enter in the Magneat, which keeps the cord right where you want it by utilizing magnets (take a look at Magneat’s site to see how).

Hmm, is it worth it? Maybe? It looks pretty darn thin and very key-chain compatible.

“It’s shaped like a key, thin like a key, sturdy like a key and goes on our-you guessed it-key chain. It’s got all the bells and whistles you’d imagine (Hi-Speed USB 2.0, works on a Mac and PC, 8GB of storage space, ReadyBoost compatible) but it’s the fact that it’s so thin, so rugged and water and scratch proof, that makes it special! No more worrying whether something might happen to it, done, forget about that, this one is built to last.”
