Griffin knows that if a child’s ears go bad today, that child won’t be listening to their headphones as an adult. So they’ve decided to protect their potential future buyers by announcing MyPhones, a set of over-the-ear headphones for kids. MyPhones are designed for children age 3 to 12 and are smaller than normal headphones. They also include a built-in volume limiter that prevents the headphones from producing audio higher than 85 decibels, which is the recommended maximum volume to avoid hearing damage.

Say what you will about Dr. Dre, but the man is a hip-hop legend. Say what you will about Lady Gaga, but she’s terrible. So you can either consider the fact that “Heartbeats by Lady Gaga” was just announced as one of two things: a callous cash grab, attempting to earn (?) more money while Lady Gaga is still popular, or… no, that’s the only reason these things exist. The press release makes it sounds as if Jupiter himself designed the headphones, and that they will forever be known for their “incredible sonic clarity, pounding bass, and all the power

These awkwardly-named headphones from Audio Technica solve several problems for me. The ATH-ON300 ONTO (told ya) features a super-thin headband, which has been dubbed the “seamless headband”. This will let me keep my headphones on my ears while cycling — earbuds have a dangerous habit of popping out in the heaviest of traffic. But better, they will let my stylishly wander the streets wearing both headphones and a gentlemanly Panama hat, as I drown out the din of the city and instead imagine myself in the depths of India, beating malaria with a cold

Monster is a company usually associated with its cabling, but it has announced news this week about a pair of earphones that certainly sound the business. They may not have the celebrity backing that the company’s Beats headphones has – which were made in association with hip hop supremo Dr Dre – but their pedigree is impressive nonetheless.
