She’s also not much of an audiophile; if it’s pink, she’s fine with it–I got her a pair of iHome rechargeable speakers for her iPhone, for example, and she loves them not because of the sound, but [...]
One Good Earbud: One Brilliant Idea?
I have said many times that running with headphones in is not a good idea. It’s dangerous for multiple reasons; you can’t hear cars, animals, or people coming up behind you.

If most of the iPhone 4 and 4S cases you’ve seen have been too boring, then you might enjoy the “Knuckles” case by Rebecca Minkoff ($58).

Energy Sistem Announces New DJ Headphone Designed by Porta
I remember the days of the cassette Walkman, when headphones were all alike. Black foam covered speakers that sat on top of the ear was pretty much the only option. Boy how these times have changed.
