Show your support for your country’s Football team!
The World Cup fever has overtaken Hong Kong and now you can show your team colours on the street or in the gym with JVC’s stylish HA-FX20 earphones. If your favorite team loses you can head to the gym, strap on some boxing gloves with them and listen to vuvuzela music while beating the crap out of the team that beat yours.
See how we tied the earphones with the photos of this lovely model? JVC went on a tangent with their event so it’s up to us to bring it back together.

Fancy crystal speakers cost as much as a pair of diamond earrings.
When Harmon Kardon said their new GLA-55 speakers were crystal clear they weren’t joking. These desktop speakers are encased in a faceted cut-glass enclosure that are a first in desktop audio systems and looks stunning either in home or at the office.
The GLA-55 speaker system is compatible with virtually any audio device with an analog output. A stereo mini jack connection allows you to enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), satellite radio and laptops.
The GLA-55 speakers feature a number of proprietary technologies built-in to the speakers that aims to provide the highest quality sound possible. CMMD drivers provide accurate high frequencies that are also capable of low-frequency extension to four octaves, while the Atlas AL drivers are capable of nearly 1″ peak-to-peak travel for tight, accurate bass reproduction. Their pairing provides a full, rich frequency response from the lowest bass to the highest highs.

Not an audiophile yet? You don’t know what you’re missing.
If you’re an Edition 9 user, you’ll be pleased to hear that Ultrasone has just announced their latest successor to the Edition 9s, the Edition 8. Ultrasone is giving audiophiles a tiny break in the economic downturn, by lowering the price of the Edition 8 to more than 15% less than the price of the Edition 9. Still, if you’re not a dedicated audiophile, you definitely won’t even think about purchasing the “cheaper” Edition 8 for HK$12,880!
With the outer earcups shelled in beautiful and durable Ruthenium, and the interior covered in fine Ethiopian sheepskin, this pair of headphones definitely gives the WOW statement. Ultrasone claims that Ethiopian sheepskin provides the most isolation of any leather, so that you can listen to your music in total tranquility. If you owned the Edition 9s, you’d know of just how high quality these Ethiopian sheepskin earcups are!
These headphones will also be the first in the Edition series to offer Ultrasone’s newest S-Logic Plus natural surround sound technology. This will provide audiophiles with a new, wider level of soundstage that they’ve never experienced before.
With the launch of these headphones, Ultrasone also claimed that these headphones have ULE technology, which supposedly reduces radiation to the head by more than 98% than normal headphones. This leads us to another thought– Radiation!? Nowadays, it seems like everything proposes some sort of health risk!
If you’re the kind of “tech” person, here are the pretty-impressive specs for you to see:
