Keep your ears warm and entertained

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

It’s getting darker and a lot colder as Winter draws in and if there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s being cold!  When I’m out in the Winter I wear so many layers that I look like the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, but now I’ve got a new toy to help keep my ears warm and entertained – the Kitsound Ear Muff Headphones.

These Ear Muff headphones are great for if you have to venture out into the cold this Winter, whether you’re travelling to work or simply going to meet friends – as you can listen to your music and keep your ears nice and toasty at the same time.

Using these headphones is really simple too, just simply connect them to any device with a 3.5mm headphone jack and you’re good to go.  This means they can be used with laptops, MP3 players and most mobile phones, so they’re a great set of iPhone 4S headphones for those who like to look fashionable and keep warm whilst listening to music.

Not only do these headphones look good, but they actually pack quite a punch, having 40mm drivers for great quality bass and crystal clear vocals.

Another great feature of these headphones is that they don’t make it obvious that you’re listening to music; passers by will simply think you’re keeping your ears warm.  This can help to detract thieves  and keep you safer during the dark evenings.

Working perfectly with an iPad, the Kitsound Ear Muff Headphones are adjustable so they’ll fit most head shapes and sizes, giving you comfort at all times.  This makes them one of the perfect iPad accessories for those who appreciate comfort, style and usability.  Plus at under £20 they’re a bargain!

Easy docking even with a case….. say hello to the CaseBuddy

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

There’s nothing more annoying than having to constantly remove and attach your mobile phone case. Whether it’s to use your phone in a dock, a car holder or with your speakers, it would be much simpler if more accessories were case compatible.  Luckily we’ve got one which is…. the CaseBuddy.

The CaseBuddy is one of the only accessories for Apple devices which allows you to dock your device whilst your case is still on.  This makes it the perfect iPhone 4S dock, especially if you have the white iPhone 4S.

By allowing you to dock your iPhone whilst it still has its iPhone case on, the CaseBuddy makes charging and syncing quick and easy.  It even supports bulky iPhone cases such as the Otterbox range and Griffin Survivor, proving that the CaseBuddy is one of the most useful iPhone accessories available.

Another great thing about the CaseBuddy is that it’s really small so you can just pop it in your bag and take it anywhere with you.  The silicone feet on the bottom of the iPhone 4S docking station stop it from sliding around the table and the handy cable tidy prevents your wire looking untidy and also helps to keep your handset upright once it’s docked.

When using the CaseBuddy, your handset is at the perfect angle for streaming media, surfing the web and sending messages, so you can keep the fun going whilst your charging up your battery all with your case still on.

 

They’re here…… The Angry Birds speakers have landed

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Get excited! The long await Angry Birds speakers we broke the news about a couple on months ago have finally arrived and they look amazing!

There’s three sets of speakers to choose from, the Red Bird which works with any device with a 3.5mm jack, the Black Bird which works with Apple devices and the Pig King which is also for Apple devices.

These speakers are the ultimate accessory for any Angry Birds fan, they’re bright, loud, vibrant and in the shape of your favourite angry birds character.

Angry Birds Speaker Red Bird

The Red Bird speaker comes with a mobile phone dock to hold your phone whilst you’re ‘blasting your tunes’ as they say.  The speaker is highly portable and to use it all you have to do if plug the wire into your headphone jack.  You could even take it to the extreme and play Angry Birds, whilst your plugged into your Angry Birds speaker!

Angry Birds Speaker Black Bird

The exploding Black Bird also has a dock with it’s speaker, but it’s only compatible with Apple devices. However, the dock charges your device whilst it’s playing music, so not only are you getting a speaker but you also have a mobile phone charger all rolled into one high flying bundle.

This speaker also comes complete with a remote, so you can control your music from the comfort of your bed.

Angry Birds Speaker - Pig King

The third and final Angry Birds speaker is the evil Pig King.  This speaker works with iPhone and iPod, by docking the devices in the Pig King’s helmet.  It charges your device whilst you’re playing music and like the Black Bird speaker comes complete with a remote, so not only can you control the Angry Birds characters through your phone but you can control the noises they make and the music they play – ultimate power!

Universal Gaming Controller for iOS, Android & BlackBerry

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Looking for a little gaming action on your smartphone, but annoyed with fiddly touch-screen controls that obscure the action? You could go out and buy yourself an Experia Play… or you could check out this universal gaming controller for quite a lot less!

The iControlPad is the world’s smallest and lightest fully functional Bluetooth gaming controller, and despite the Apple-oriented name includes special software to work on every smartphone OS: iOS (meaning iPhone, iPad and iPod), Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, and even WebOS. It’s quite cleverly designed and includes upgradeable firmware to ensure that new devices are always supported.

As you can see there are two modes of operation: you can keep it as a singular unit, or you can attach it your mobile phone using a selection of side clamps. These clamps will fit most phones, including all iPhones, allowing you to have an experience more akin to a handheld console.

You can also plug in the controller via a USB OTG adapter to have it serve as an emergency battery, offering an extra 1360mAh of power. That’s roughly the same amount as is in most phones to start with, so you’re effectively doubling your phone’s life will using it as an extended battery.

It’s a very slick little gadget, and if you’re looking to game on the move without packing a bulky handheld, this is the way to go. With so many games available these days, including iOS and Android originals as well as emulated classics, this is definitely a cool choice.
