Another
bling pair of headphones worth £3,500 $5,150 has hit the Belgium market.
The market is really pacing up for headphones All of a sudden, headphones from
the likes of Ultimate Ears and Sure don’t seem expensive at all.
What
makes this pair so expensive? It’s made from 18 karat gold and has 118 diamonds
sprinkled all over. (Again, diamonds are evil.) Also, the headphones are
Belgian, created by “top jeweller” Casa Gi. That adds a few quid to the price,
no doubt.
Keeping
with the shiny things metaphors, the Telegraph says the headphones “give a
crystal clear sound.” They damn well better for that kind of money. Naturally,
the headphones are intended for sports stars or “actors,” people paid
extraordinary amounts of money to play make-believe in front of a camera
We've
come across a wide array of headphones. But in all our sound journeys as
audiophiles, never have we come across a pair of earphones that is more 'pimped
out' than this one. The device is made from 18 carat gold, encrusted with 118
of the highest quality diamonds and the sound you get is stunning. The 59
diamonds gracing the earphone are individually set in gold. This gives a lovely
shimmer, sparkly effect. The makers say that the earphones are very
comfortable, despite all the weight the bling adds. The earphones have a white
wire with a standard jack that fits into most MP3 players and computers.
Richard Slack, managing director for the firm, said: "We were first shown
these earphones by a client at an Aston Martin show and our initial reaction
was 'wow'."As well as looking fantastic, the sound quality is also very
good. We have the only pair of Casa Gi earphones in the UK and they are
currently in pride of place in our shop window. They are attracting a lot of
attention but as of yet we haven't found a buyer. I think they are aimed at
fairly extrovert people, maybe a sports star or someone in the acting
profession - they are the ultimate in bling."
The magnificent
earphones are made by the famous jeweller Casa Gi in Belgium. They are for sale in Bristol at Clive Ranger jewellery
shop for $5,180.

No, don’t confuse it with future gazing Crystal ball, because this is
Zumreed flash beat speaker that has a pink light effect spanning around it. The
speaker is downward-firing speaker and the lights react in accordance of the
music played on it, otherwise they remain inactive.
Specifications
The description of the product affirms that it can fill the whole room
with enough sound in spite of its volume and size; but we really can’t say how
far the audio gadgets like this can to bank on special light effect
concept, since audio quality matters, nothing else.
Price and availability
The Zumreed Flash Beat speaker is said to be retailing at $189.99.

Here is another accessory that can stimulate you to workout more or
probably we can say that can let you out in uncertain power out situations
arising with your iphone. The iPod accessory we are referring to is called The
Handgrip iPhone Charger. The charger consists of the power gripper that can
charge up your iPhone or iPod with your muscular energy. Simply clasp both the
grippers repeatedly and your muscular energy gets converted into power for iPod
or iPhone. Besides being your exerciser, it also acts as stress reliever.
But what really doubts me is the usability factor for this kind of ipod
accessories as it doesn’t seem practical except for the people who somehow
get to ‘no power no sun places’, because solar gadgets are still preferable. While
struggling with these kinds of gadgets, you are more likely to give up of
muscular pain. Definitely not the product for females or kids, gadget geek
would love to give it a try. This muscular concept is called “You can work it out” and designed by
Mac Funamizu.
