It may look like a minimal foot pouffe from a suitably-wanky Shoreditch boutique specialising in Art Deco furniture, but believe it or not, that little black box is actually a subwoofer. As you probably would’ve garnered from, err, the title of this post.
The MicroVee subwoofer from Velodyne measures just 9″ x 9″ x 9.6″, but that doesn’t mean the sound…
Forget Orlando Bloom, Vita Audio's R1 Dream is more of a dreamboat than that oily schmuck!

Sennheiser CX 300 2.5mm quality earphones designed for music phones
Sennheiser has created a music phone friendly version of its CX 300 earphones. Claiming to be the first quality in-ear headphones to be made available with a 2.5mm headphone jack, they boast improved sound quality for music phones.
The CX 300s feature an advanced, miniaturised driver, designed to give smooth, acoustically correct in-ear operation, with an extended response of 18Hz-21kHz.

If you want pink, though, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Available now, priced £39.99.

That woman there is Dr Sandra (copy and paste) Uitdenbogerd. Dr Uitde… Sandra is working on an audio-based search engine, that can identify music simply by you humming a bit of the tune.
