I know nothing about earphones or earbuds or audiophile technology, but I think these are pretty cute. Many pink earphones are just pink bodies or have pink gemstones, but this is a slightly more unusual approach. They’re metallic-plated, kind of like those gold-trimmed roses you can buy. (Which are fabulous themselves, [...]

I guess this isn’t really pink, it’s just got a pink cover, but it looks kind of pink. If you have got money to burn, and/or you’re too stupid to hook up to Shoutcast, Pandora, Live365, or other internet radio services, you can drop $40 on the USB Internet Radio Jukebox by Aluratek. [...]

How many different ways do we need to play an iPod? Who plays their iPod as if it were a radio? Why is this being called a “boombox” when this is what a boombox really looks like? This $50 “miniMove” by Memorex is totally lame. It has a built-in radio [...]

I have no idea if $200 is a good price for a guitar. I really don’t. I don’t play guitar, I’m not really interested in playing guitar (only Guitar Hero), I know nothing about guitars. But for $200 – down from a supposed list price of $340 – you can grab [...]

Let me preface this by saying: I have no idea why anyone would want this. It is a $20 portable iPod Speaker with Sex and the City branding. Note that it is only for iPod, there’s no other connector, as with the recently mentioned iHome portable speaker. It does not run [...]

Woe is me…my formerly $350 80GB iPod Video is now only worth about $175 on eBay. I like having it because it holds ALL my music and quite a few videos, but honestly I just don’t use it much. And yet recently I won a silver Nano, 3G as shown here in [...]

When I was in high school and college, I used to play double bass. Since then I’ve had a soft spot for the instrument, especially when girls play it. Perhaps that’s who’s behind the fabulous pink bass seen at the Dallas Guitar Show in April! The picture is originally by Traveling [...]

What’s that? Yesterday’s super-cheap Hello Kitty MP3 player didn’t wow you? Well, here’s another one, and no surprise – it’s also from Spectra. This one isn’t expandable, but it does come with 1GB of memory, which is enough for about 250 songs. It also has a voice recorder, though I’m [...]

Ah, Spectra, how I love you. You make a million Hello Kitty gadgets and I want more than half of them. And yet they are so hard to find! I had your Hello Kitty iPod car charger once upon a time, but it crapped out on me and I haven’t been [...]

One thing we know about this thing: It’s got Hello Kitty on it. But at first glance, what we don’t know is…is this a handbag? Well, folks, the answer is NO. It’s a CD player. But for some reason its maker decided it should look like a handbag. I [...]
