Premium headphones have been getting cheaper and cheaper these days without sacrificing quality of sound. Our latest find is from a company called Eskuche with their 33 1/3s headphones. These feature 40mm drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz to 20Khz and 32 ohms of impedance. $60.
Sadly, long playing records won’t play that long as we’ve hoped for. When they get scratched or molded over, your audio fun will be spoiled no doubt. If you still have those lying around, here’s a player which can at least save your tunes if not the records themselves. The Denon DP-200USB turntable is what you think it is, a record player but with an added high-tech bonus. It has an MP3 encoder so you could plug any USB storage device and it will rip your records into a digital format. This way, your analog record could be preserved while you hurl abuse at its inferior digital doppelganger. $250.
Pigs are noisy animals but this pig will make noises that are pleasing to your ears. Play you iPod, iPhone, or any audio device with this unique-looking Speakal iPig speakers. The 25-watt, 2.1 speakers feature a 4 inch bass with bass reflex system, a pair of 1.5 inch mids, and a couple of tweeters all coupled with a sound stabilizing system. No clue on what the stabilizer is but it’s probably an automatic equalizer. Adjusting the pig’s voice are its touch-sensitive ears or a provided infrared remote. A hi-fi amplifier plus an internal airflow optimizer makes sure that this pig bellows out crystal clear sounds. $120.
Whilst carbon fiber may be all the rage now for “futuristic” gadgets, many may have dismissed the coolness factor of perfectly manufactured glass. Such as the one that houses the Kenwood SP0001 Speakers. Weighing about 5 lbs. each, the two-way speaker has an 80 dB output from a 10W maximum input. They may not be huge numbers but knowing how molded glass makes an almost perfect seal, these speakers will surely sound big. And with the optional stand with white or blue LEDs, the coolness factor just gets dialed to 11. No word on US availability but you can buy it now from Kenwood’s online store. ~$1,300.
