Sennheiser - CX 300-II PRECISION BLACK IN-EAR-PHONES - An essential gift for any iPod owner who appreciates not just portable music but also fantastic sound!

Our Price: $99.95

Upgrade to Quality sound!

The CX 300-II earphones will be out in time for Christmas this year in a range of colours, with a bump in performance to boot, making them even more advisable as first upgrades to the population's iPods.

Every single music player on the market -- including iPods -- only sound a fraction as good with the earphones that come with them, as they do with even a half-decent set of upgrades. A pair of $99 headphones should be an absolute must.

Griffin Aircurve Acoustic Amplifier for iPhone - Great, stylish and practical!

Our Price: $49.95

Click here to buy!

Loud and Clear

Your iPhone, that is -- and without using speakers. AirCurve is a cleverly-designed acoustic amplifier that turns your iPhone into a no-power-drain alarm clock on your nightstand, or a mini sound system that never needs batteries or adapters.

AirCurve looks like a simple, elegantly minimal stand for your iPhone. But inside is a coiled waveguide "horn' that collects the sound from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, amplifies it (by about 10 decibels), and projects it into the room. AirCurve's waveguide has been mathematically engineered to deliver amazing amplification -- you'll swear there are full-sized speakers in there. And AirCurve's see-through translucent polycarbonate body lets you appreciate the graceful curves inside that do all the work.

So will AirCurve charge my iPhone?

By itself, no. For this reason, we've added a pass-through slot so you can feed a dock cable through AirCurve. Connect that dock cable to your computer or power adapter and you can sync or charge while you listen.

AirCurve's pass-through slot will accept Griffin's Dock Cable (available separately) or the dock cable that came with your iPhone. It may accept others, as well.

Features

Acoustically amplifies your iPhone
Custom-engineered waveguide requires no power
Allows syncing/charging using Griffin Dock Cable or the charge/sync cable that came with your iPhone
Great for nightstand or tabletop
Amplifies by about 10 decibels

The included stereo mini cable connects TuneFlex to your stereo’s AUX-in jack for clean, interference-free sound.
