These Paul Smith Limited Audio Technica Headphones are very, very shiny apparently since it comes in a gold and aluminum housing and 3.5mm gold plated connectors.

What I totally love about the headphones is its sleek simplicity and understated fashion. I just hope they come in different colors, too. Or maybe in their trade-mark pin-stripe design.

And of course, since this headphones comes with the Paul Smith tag, it also comes with a very expensive price tag! Considering that you’re not really sure of how the sound quality is going to be, $230 for a headphones is pretty steep!

Price: £140.00 or $230

These EarMuff Headphones from Strapya-World is just perfect for the coming holidays. The weather is actually becoming a bit cooler now here in the Philippines. It’s getting harder to take a shower in the morning since the mornings nowadays are getting chillier. A bit early if I must say, it’s only early November! (That’s climate change for you!)

But I guess the cool temperature we’re experiencing here in the Philippines is nothing compared to the freezing temperature of let’s say Canada or in any US States that actually experience snow, haha. So I won’t complain about how hard it is to take a shower in the morning!

Anyway, what do you guys think about these earphones? I absolutely think they’d be perfect to complete any Winter outfit! If only we had Winter!

The earphones come in five (5) different colors and designs: pink, black, white, gray and animal print.

Oh, and before I forget, I saw this disclaimer in the website: ‘Earmuffs’ static may shock you time to time’.

HAHA! Hilarious! I’m sure it won’t electrocute you, but I’m guessing that be annoying, hehe!

Christmas is just around the corner and I’m on the look out for affordable gift ideas!

Earbuds are always a safe and popular choice to give as gifts, especially during exchange gifts. For one thing, they’re not gender-based so it’s safe to either give it to a guy or a girl. Except maybe if you’re giving out pink earphones, hehehe.

Last year for our exchange gift giving, I gave out cute Skull Candy earphones! This year hopefully I’ll find something just as good.

Anyway, since we’re on the topic of earbuds, here is a really cute earbud that’s good enough to eat! Jolly Rancher Earbuds! It’s actually also available in Hershey Kisses, but I prefer the Jolly Rancher since it’s more colorful, hehe.

Since the price is pretty affordable, don’t expect too much with the sound quality. But I’m guessing it’ll get the job done. I’m not sure about the durability as well, though!

Price: $11.99

I’m just not sure what your costume should be so these cute Skull Ear Buds would match.

Probably something gothic, or emo. Haha. But in any case, if you feel like getting the Halloween vibe, then you can probably use this Skull Ear Bud on a daily basis.

It’s compatible with most MP3 players, PMPs, portable gaming systems and even laptops so you won’t have to worry about it not working with your gadget.

This ear bud comes with 2 sets of silicone tips, in small and large, so you also won’t worry about it fitting your ear.

It’s amusing how earbuds nowadays are the new earrings. It’s like they’re more of a jewelry accessory now, instead of a music or MP3 accessory that happens to allow you to listen to music, haha! Take a look at the Heartbeats by Lady Gaga!

Anyway, the Panasonic Classy Jewel RP-HJF7 is a very classy, chic fashion earbuds. Just the right amount of bling and color, and definitely not overdone. It comes in six different colors: lavander, yellow, light blue, gray, brown and purple.

No idea about the sound quality these earbuds have, but Panasonic products usually don’t disappoint. And the price is pretty affordable, too, at $58! You can pre-order now since it’s coming out on the 15th of October.

The MyPhones have a limiting feature that prevents the volume from going about 85 decibel limit. Other features would also include washable soft, rubber earpads and adjustable band.

MyPhone is a simple looking headphone but you can totally customize it by changing the earcaps with the extra caps it comes with, or you can make our own design!

Honestly, I think kids won’t be the only one who can benefit from having headphones with volume-limiting features. I know a couple of adults who are pretty stubborn about playing their music full blast! Ha, just wait till you guys lose your hearing, and you’ll regret not listening to what people say, hehe.

MyPhones will be available for purchase this coming October.

I’ve heard so much about how great the sound quality of the Beats headphones is, but they never really appealed to me since the headphones looked quite enormous big and manly.

Now with the addition of “Heartbeats by Lady Gaga”, I might add this brand to my shopping list.

The Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones are designed by Lady Gaga herself and I  it does look something Lady Gaga would wear. The textured triangle shaped earphone look really funky, donchathinkso!

One feature that’s exclusive to all Beats product is it’s tangle-free flat cables. It has flat cables, that are tangle-free, haha. Duh.

Anyway, Monster is giving out 30 pairs of Heartbeats by Lady Gaga In-Ear Headphones! These headphones cost $99.95, so getting them for free would be so awesome!

There really should be more options out there.  So far, this one from Covington Creations is by far the most fashionable in the market. Actually, it’s the ONLY one that has passed my cuteness criteria. (If you know of any more, please share!)

There are a couple of earphone cases in the market, like the Belkin one. You know, that round, silicon thingie. But I’m really not a big fan of silicon things. I really find them icky to touch. And I personally find them more of a dirt magnetic than anything else.

There’s another one from BlueLounge, pretty similar to this one from Corvington Creations but it’s only available in boring silver.

This Earbud Yo-Yo is pretty simple to use. Just wind your earphone cables around it, and viola. Hello neatness, goodbye tangled cables! Earbud Yo-Yo is available in different designs, so just check them out.

I seriously can’t remember how many earphones I’ve broken simply by leaving them tangled in my bag.

The old Plantronics 925 was a cute, little thang, a Bluetooth headset that was designed more for women (in my opinion). Now Plantronic has released another chic Bluetooth headset, the Plantronics Discovery 975 (which I think is perfect for men).

The Plantronic Discovery 975 has a manly design, black and leather-trimmed. Really sexy and elegant.

Plantronic Discovery 975 Specifications:

• Dual mic technology – captures your voice and cancels noise at the same time!
• WindSmart technology – protection against wind noises
• Carrying case can recharge the earpiece (Wow.)
• Up to 5 hours talk time
• QuickPair technology for easy pairing with Bluetooth enabled gadgets

The Discovery 975 comes with a leather carrying case that also doubles as a charger (as I mentioned above), and also comes with a case strap, AC charger and three gel eartips in small, medium and large.

Price: $129.99

Okay, craziness aside, here’s a really adorable Hello Kitty earphone from Strapya-World.

The earphone bud is shaped like Hello Kitty’s head, complete with cute kitty ears and a tiny rhinestone for the ribbon. It also comes with silicon earphone pads to prevent unnecessary noise coming in. It’s pretty much compatible with any device, so you won’t have to worry about having the right device to be able to own this earphone.

And the best part, it comes in pink and white, haha.

Oh, by the way, I’m selling a Hello Kitty underwear too. Pretty cheap! I’m selling it for five (5) cents a piece. Or you can even have it for free if you visit my blog everyday. The only problem is, it has real claws and scratches. Nyork, nyork. Ok, that’s a pretty terrible attempt at humor. Hahaha.

Price: 1,880 JPY ($19.79)
