This little Music Phone Adapter extension cord lets you keep your normal headphones on while taking a call with the iPhone.

JVC has added another model to its line of noise canceling headphones. This time around the company has unveiled the top-end HA-NC250, priced at around $200.

The HA-NC250 headphones from JVC will debut early next month. It has a number of noise blocking features, such as feedback technology, to eliminate a reported 85 percent of outside sounds.

These iFreePlay headphones rid the need for that pesky cord from your pocket or where ever your iPod shuffle is clipped, up to your headphones.

The headphones have a dock built right into the left earpiece where the shuffles’ headphone jack can connect directly without the need for any wires. The iFreePlay headphones and shuffle combined are light enough so that both can rest on your head while you go about your day without the problem of getting your hand caught in the headphone cord.

They also have no need for Bluetooth or any type of wireless technology since it connects directly to the shuffle, and the $49.95 price seems to reflect this. Most wireless Bluetooth headphones you find are considerably more expensive and will still require you to have the player in your pocket.

In a twist on the Comic Book Guy’s famous catch phrase, we are giving praise to some of the best, if not the best, earplug style headphones that we have seen lately. The M-Audio IE-20 XB Reference Earphones are professional grade in-ear style earphones, but they are more than that. They have a large bass driver that makes these earphones really stand out.

The XB stands for Extended Bass and M-Audio means it. The IE-20 XB has two dedicated speakers built in, one for low frequencies and one for mid-range and high frequencies. The earphones themselves are …
