I’ve been using these the last couple weeks to mix the Sound Advice’s. I couldn’t be happier with the headphone’s comfortable fit and solid highs and lows. Perfect for the office and/or studio.

Until the Friday before Christmas, we’ll be posting one product a day to help make the holiday the most gifted one yet

Light and listen.

EckoUNLTD.’s Spray Bluetooth speaker

“Utilizing Bluetooth 2.1 technology the Spray pairs with any Bluetooth device up to a maximum range of 30 feet, includes a built-in microphone that enables hands-free calling with any Bluetooth cell phone and has a 3.5mm line input for direct connection to any music player or smartphone. The Spray’s dome twists to control volume and skip to the next or previous song, and the Spray’s nozzle is a button that controls the play/pause and call functions.”

If you can afford it ($399), this audio dock from Audyssey is the only audio dock that you should consider purchasing. Delivering some serious sound, it does everything you would ever need it to do, plus you can use it wirelessly with nothing actually docked in it. When it is docked, you can make phone calls from your bed or couch without really doing too much. The dock can also hook up to desktop, which means you can get some exceptional sound from whatever video or movie you’re watching. All of this and more, packaged in a good looking piece of technology.

Stereolizer is an internet radio app wrapped in the look of an 80′s stereo cassette deck. Might seem like a bit of a gimmick at first, but it’s neato simply because it records internet radio streams on the iPad and then lets you easily reorder tracks as you see fit.

TDK’s Life On Record boombox – solid, heavy, with three 6″ speakers (center is a subwoofer) and 30-pin iPhone/iPod connector. Also plays external USB flash/hard drives, all controlled via the knob and display on the front.

I love my Sonos audio streaming system at home. It’s got me covered for music and internet radio, separately streamed to each area of the house. First came the ZonePlayers which hook up to existing audio systems, then came the standalone S5 players. So far, you can use their controllers, or the free iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad apps (the best one). Now in beta: their controller app for Android.

Denon’s RCD-N7 Streaming Receiver lets you hook up whatever speakers you’d like – while getting music from your iPod or iPhone via Apple’s AirPlay, and via wi-fi from your shared network hard drive, computer, or online radio sources. It even has a good old AM/FM radio… AND a CD player. iPod dock, USB and standard audio inputs mean you can hook up smaller hard drives, turntables or other analog sources.

iHome’s iW1 Airplay unit is one of the first of a coming wave of audio streaming boxes built around Apple’s new Airplay spec. Think of it as having an Airport Express built right into a set of powered speakers. Throw the box in any room, or outdoors, and stream your music straight to it.

Philips ActionFit Bluetooth headphones are water resistant for easy washing, and made with an antimicrobial agent so that you can sweat all over them without grossing up the plastic. As a result they’re probably a bit more durable for the throw-around reality of everyday life that small electronics accessories get put through. Aside from that, packed with the usual goodies like noise cancellation, music and phone control on iPhone.

Audyssey makes a really nice iPhone/iPod Audio Dock called South of Market.  They’re holding a little contest right now about the best true story related to your iPhone, 3 winners will receive one of the docks.  Not too bad.  If you’re interested, head over here for more info.

The Hex watch band is the latest, nicest implementation of wearing an iPod nano on your wrist. Most obvious use is for running, and sorta makes sense in jacket/long-sleeve weather… but might look a bit silly in the warmer months. Via Gizmodo.

The iPad’s screen interface is great for audio control, so I went searching for decent stereo docks for the device that would also serve as a charging station, etc. There’s not much available: The Philips Fidelios DS8550 looks pretty nice, if not slightly on the pricey side, and has an app that controls some of the dock’s features, like the alarm. The iHome IA100 is another option. And that’s it – just two – unless there is a massive wave of them on the way.

For your mom, little sister, or girlfriend.

The perfect earbuds for listening to NWA. Teknines Nine Millimeter Earphones from MUNITO, gold plated and the cords are covered in Kevlar. All for $250.00
