Earpods?

In line with the launch of the iPhone 5, Apple introduces a new uniquely designed earphones, called Earpods.

Same as the previous Apple Earphones, the Apple Earpods have a built-in microphone. 

I believe they'll be including this earphones with the next iPhones to come. And as always, Apple will allow you to buy this seperately by a cost, I'm guessing, still $29 or more.

I personally love the design itself, but the performance? Though it's looks are looking awesome, Apple won't let the audio quality out of mind of course.

To talk more about the design, I personally think it looks.. "futuristic" looking. I love it actually.

In the pictures, you'll observe that Apple still keeps the clean and sexy look of the earphones, but you'll see that the hole, where the sound comes out to your ears, are smaller, and vertical. I don't know why, but It makes the earphone more unique and better looking.. and different.

This is Apple's Official Line of the product: 

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic are designed to rest comfortably inside -- and stay inside -- a variety of ear types. The audio quality is so superior, they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of dollars more. And you can use the improved remote to adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls on your iPhone.

For more information about the Earpods, you can check out Apple's website itself.

Coloud Colors Earbuds Review

One company, Coloud, focuses on design and style when it comes to their products. Simple color is what they determined was the best fit for their Coloud Colors Earbuds & Headphones series. While they boast a wide collection of modern and pop culture designs, one of their most popular series is of course the colors series which is simply one certain color and nothing else on a set of earbuds or headphones. This works quite well!

What I Would Like to See Apple Introduce in 2012

2012 is said to be a "Big year" for technology, especially Apple. There are certainly lot's of rumors floating around the web. In this article, I am going to have my say on what I'd like to see Apple introduce this year (2012).

1. - Apple HDTV:

One of the biggest rumors of this year is that Apple is to announce an all new Apple HDTV. Some sources say that it will be exceptionally thin, come in at least 3 different sizes which I think will be 32", 46" and 55" displays. I also think that it will come with many feature's that the Apple TV box set has.

2. - iPad 3:

It is very likely Apple will introduce the much-hyped iPad 3 in the next 2 or so months ahead. There are rumors floating about, claiming that the iPad 3 will have an all new Retina Display, better cameras, A6 Processor and for the tablet to be both thinner and lighter.  

3. - iPhone 5:


 The world was expecting to see the iPhone 5 in 2011, but sadly that wasn't to be. So, surely there must be an iPhone 5 this year, right? Many sources claim that the iPhone 5 will have a larger 4.0" screen, which will be greatly welcomed. Others say the Apple A6 Processor will be packed into iPhone 5. People also say the iPhone 5 be significantly thinner and lighter. Fingers crossed we will see an all new redesigned Apple iPhone 5 this year.

4. - 15" MacBook Air:

To accompany the 11" and the 13" MacBook Air, sources say that Apple is at testing stage with a brand-new 15" MacBook Air, which is said to have an Ivy bridge Processor packed inside. Personally, I would like to see a higher resolution FaceTime HD Camera on the front as the current FaceTime Camera on the MacBook Air is horrible. I think the price for the 15" MacBook Air will be around the £1500 mark, but that is just a guess. I think if Apple were to introduce this machine into the Mac family, it would be one of their best selling products.

So, that's what I would like to see Apple introduce this year, what do you think Apple will introduce this year? Leave them in the comments section below.

Sony MDRPQ4/BLK PIIQ Headphones Review

It's hard to determine in the vast earbud and headphone market today, which pairs have good sound quality and which pairs are just for looks. In fact I was surprised to learn that most earbuds and headphones sold anymore base their product on looks and lack in the sound category. With that said, I found a pair of earbuds that look good and sound good! They are very affordable and they come in a variety of cool modern designs, but the main selling point for me was the fact that they are PIIQ earbuds which are a brand of Sony. I have always loved the sound quality of Sony products, so I figured I would give them a try, even though I was a tad skeptical of the low price point, thinking that if they are under $20 then they couldn't have too great of a sound, but what I have found is that the sound is comparable to my Apple In-Ear Earbuds.
