Elecom Jewel-Encrusted Ear Drops

Accessories

By: Jenn K. Lee on August 1, 2006 8:17 AM

Well, wouldn't you know it? Just three days after we mentioned jewel-encrusted headphones in our bit about the Depeche Mode mp3 player, Japanese corporation Elecom announced Ear Drops, their new line of earbuds and IEMs designed with the woman in mind.

The artificial stones are available in various colors and combinations, all of which add that extra bit of sparkle we all crave for our ear canals. The Ear Drops themselves come in either black or white, so no matter which jewels suit your fancy, they're always sure to match your outfit.

And although they say you can't put on a price on beauty, the standard buds will be released in mid-August for about $22, the round IEMs for $28, and the hearts for $33. Pair the latter with a Zakang Kiss mp3 player, and even Cupid will kill himself.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
