If you are a music fan that uses an iPhone for your mobile phone and music device you really need to get yourself a decent set of headphones. The problem is that most of the good sets of headphones on the market lack a mic for making voice calls. Shure has announced a new headset specifically for the iPhone and iPod that has a mic and great sound.

The headset is called the SE115m+ and it combines a noise-reducing headset with a mic and remote control for music. On the right earpiece cable the mic and three button remote is found. The remote allows full control over all music player functions.

Monster is best known for high quality audio equipment and so it’s a name you can trust when it comes to audio. They’ve just released the Miles Davis Tribute high-performance in-ear headphones, which come in an individually numbered limited edition.

Aside from that, owners of these new headphones will get a special treat by being able to enjoy the official 50th Anniversary boxed set of the artist’s album Kind of Blue, free of charge. It includes a few music CDs, a DVD and a 24-page booklet. Some other features include a gold/brass finish inspired by Miles Davis’ trumpet.

Why must I always repeat myself? What, do ya got bricks in your ears? Oh, you do. Or you will. Very soon. Because Elecom will soon offer these LEGO Soundblock headphones that any Lego freak has to love.

And they retail for just $23. These Brick-buds will make their debut in Japan later this month in shades of black, blue, red, white, pink and mixed colors. Are you Lego fan enough to wear them?

Elecom is hitting the headphones market with a colorful one-two punch with the release of the EHP-OH100 series otherwise known as “Sundries Contrast”. They are available in a variety of 7 different colors, are of questionable fashion and feature a 30mm driver unit, a 30 Ohm impedance, an output of 104dB/1mW and works on a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency.

They’ll cost you around $56. You can just see the meeting that birthed these. “Colors. People love colors. Yeah and what if they fold? Users love to fold stuff. Who doesn’t like to fold? Play up the fashion angle.”

Monster is a brand that says two things to me when I hear the name — sound quality and expensive. The company has unveiled a new set of headphones called the Monster Turbine Pro that promises professional level sound, but that promise comes at a steep price.

Monster is asking $299.95 for a set of the turbine Pro headphones alone and $329.95 for the headphones with the Monster ControlTalk headphone cable. For that much loot, you get a set of headphones that are tuned to offer the kind of reference quality professional musician’s demand.

Sony Ericsson has unveiled the first ever motion activated headphones. The Sony Ericsson MH907 uses the SensMe Control technology to respond without pressing any buttons. The idea is that you have the two headphones in your ears and are listening to music as you normally would.

But if you want to pause the music, you can remove one ear bud to pause it. To start listening to the music again just place it back in your ear. Is it just me or are these the Stupidest headphones ever? When I’m listening to music, my hands are usually busy. It would be very annoying to have to constantly mess with what is already safely in my ear just to do things like pause a track.

Griffin knows that if a child’s ears go bad today, that child won’t be listening to their headphones as an adult. So they’ve decided to protect their potential future buyers by announcing MyPhones, a set of over-the-ear headphones for kids.

MyPhones are designed for children age 3 to 12 and are smaller than normal headphones. They also include a built-in volume limiter that prevents the headphones from producing audio higher than 85 decibels, which is the recommended maximum volume to avoid hearing damage.

If you are looking to control your iPhone 3GS via voice control, but don’t want another wire getting in your way, you may be in luck starting next month. That’s when BudsGoBlue will be launching a set of Bluetooth earbuds for the iPhone that will act as headphones and a Bluetooth headset.

Apparently the “memory shaping” ear loops are completely flexible and shape to any ear. It includes voice command, so iPhone 3Gs users will be able to access track commands. They look pretty nice to boot.

The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre line has several different sets of headphones that are not cheap and are over ear headphones that are very large. Most people, especially the ladies, don’t really want huge headphones to listen to their music with.

Monster has announced its first Artist edition headphones in the Beats line with a set called Heartbeats by Lady Gaga. The headphones meet the strict audio quality requirements of Dr. Dre and monster while being made to a more refined design standard by Gaga.

When it comes to using a set of headphones on your computer, you need a set with a mic if you want to take advantage of chat functions in video games or place calls using VOIP. Sennheiser is one of the best brands in the headphone market and the company has announced new headphones for PC users.

The new headphones include the PC 11 and the PC 100. Both have a built-in microphone for voice chats and are built with Sennheiser quality. The PC 11 is a single sided headset that needs only one hand to operate. The PC 100 is a 3-in-1 headset that uses an in-ear design that is similar to the ear buds you wear with an iPod.

Over the ear headphones have always been the victim of some pretty boring design for the most part. Now there’s a company doing something about it. Headphile will take your high end headphones and turn them into works of art. They do custom headphone mods using fine and exotic woods.

Don’t worry, you won’t lose any functionality. They also create custom headphone stands to match the designs on the headphones if you like. They will also improve on the original headphones by upgrading the wiring, adding better cables, or new speaker grills or wooden enclosures.

At some point every gamer or music fan out there needs a good set of headphones. The gamer needs headphones so they can play without bothering everyone else nearby. The Music fan needs headphones so they can hear all the nuances of their music.

Tritton makes some nice headphones for gaming and music and the company has announced two new sets of headphones for Best Buy called the AX 180 and the AX 720. The AX 720 headphones are Dolby 5.1 surround headphones that work with the Xbox, PS3, and PC for simulated 3D audio.

If you travel a lot by air, you probably have invested in some sort of noise canceling headphones. The constant drone of the jet engines and that person next to you telling their life story can get old very quickly.

Sennheiser has unveiled a couple new Bluetooth headsets including one that is designed for the frequent traveler. The headsets are the MM400 and the MM 450 Travel. Both headsets are designed to work with smartphones and other devices. Both headsets fold flat for traveling.

Necessity is the mother of invention. This one was sorely needed. How many times have you had to deal with tangled headphones? I hear ya, too many. Lee Washington was sick of tangled headphone wires, so he did something about it.

He created a way for the two wires to stick to each other when not in use, sort of like how a ziplock bag works. When the headphones are not in use, you can just zip them together. It’s the little things like this that make our lives so much easier.

JVC has just announced its HP-S560 (10Hz to 25kHz) and HP-S360 (10Hz to 24kHz) headphones that boast 32O impedance and 112dB/1mw output for superior audio quality. Both models feature the specially developed “Dual Protection Structure” on their driver units which suppresses unnecessary resonances.

Both will be available in Japan sometime between September and November. We don’t have any info on how much they will cost, and whether they will be available outside of Japan. We’ll just have to wait and see.
