Today's small, light earphones are nice and all. Sometimes, though, you just got to have a nice set of full-size headphones to rock out to. The Crossfade features some serious bass and also comes with an attached remote and mic for use with smartphones.

Clear, clean sound is the hallmark of the iLuv's THP-901 line, making it ideal for listening to all sorts of music genres. It also comes in three colors — including a more feminine pink-and-white pattern that's edgier than most of the designs you see for ladies.

You’ll likely never find a set of earbuds that fit as well as these. Great for folks who struggle with keeping regular earbuds or mini-headphones in their ears when jogging or even during the simple act of breathing.

This one’s for the geeks. The Rock-It lets you turn cereal boxes, plastic cups and just about any object — even dollhouses — into functioning speakers. Seriously.

Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer

Hardcore geeks likely won’t be satisfied with this souped-up clock radio. But parents, grandparents and regular consumers looking for a jack-of-all-trades that can function as a digital photo frame, clock, Internet radio player, video streamer and app player might enjoy this one.

This easy-to-use and highly portable alarm clock can actually be controlled via voice command. Kinda’ like what happens to guys after they get married, he, he.

Accell AVGrip Pro Locking High-Speed HDMI Cable

Yes, HDMI cables usually aren’t anything to get excited about. But this one actually has a nice and easy-to-use locking mechanism — a neat feature if you have a friend or loved one who’s as easily amused as I am.
