The Tropper comes in gray, black, white, pink or blue and has folding earcups, 40mm drivers and 20-20,000 hz frequency response. The Whip is more of a low profile headphone with a lightweight design for easy portability, 30mm drivers and comes in more funky colors such as yellow, orange and electric blue. Both will be available in November. $30 – $50.
Immerse yourself in the true rock and roll experience while playing Rock Band or Guitar Hero. When the crappy speakers on your TV won’t do, you should hook up your guitar to these Polk Audio HitMaster monitors. Just like a real stage monitor, the HitMaster is a floor-mounted cabinet directly facing you so you’ll hear your sound straight and true. Get up to 80 watts of eardrum-busting sound from the single-point stereo speaker. But if that’s not enough, you can link up several HitMasters side-by-side. There’s also a 1/8″ input jack so you can connect other audio sources like your iPod. The HitMaster will hit (pun intended) the markets next year. $100.

Aggressors can come at all times of the day, or even in the darkness of night. Get the calming presence of having a handy self-defense weapon that masquerades as a flashlight with the SureFire LED Defender. Lighting duties are courtesy of the virtually indestructible LEDs giving 120 lumens of light. If that’s not enough to blind your attacker, then you can opt to whomp them with either the strike bezel or the scalloped tail cap. The flashlight’s body itself is made of Mil-Spec III aircraft-grade aluminum so the whole assembly can be used as a weapon. $150.

When you seriously need to win the megapixel war, then the logical way to go is medium format. Unlike 35mm-based cameras like the ones made by Canon or Nikon, medium format cameras use a larger sensor, thus giving a higher resolution. The latest from Mamiya, the DM22 is their most affordable model to date. Featuring 48×36mm sensor delivering a whopping 22 megapixels, it’s capable of giving fine details that you and your potential clients will appreciate. For the price, you’ll get the DM22 body along with the Mamiya 80mm f/2.8 D series lens. Not a bad deal for a camera that will certainly trump out all of the latest DSLR releases. $10,000.
