Way back in 2008 I mentioned the then new GameCom 777 USB virtual 5.1 surround sound headset. The headset was for gamers and had a USB amp and normal mic and headphone plugs too. Plantronics has announced a new updated version of the GameCom 777.

The new version of the headset has the same design and also has the USB amp included. The main difference is the new version has simulated 7.1-surround sound. The headset has a hide-away mic that’s out of the way when you don’t need it.

The MI-SPORT MP3 Player Headphones are waterproof and wireless headphones that are great for using when working out or just being out in the rain. They feature a fully integrated waterproof MP3 player. You can use it while swimming or hanging out by the pool, knowing they will be safe from water.

The headset includes waterproof soft sponge earplugs made to be worn underneath the headphones, that will block water out but allow sound in. The controls are on the exterior and your album text or personalized playlist is read and voiced back to you, in either a male of female voice or even a different language.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t play one on TV, but these headphone stethoscopes could make me a hit with the ladies. You know how they’re always on the lookout for doctors.

These are from creative agency Antrepo Design, but sadly they are not actual products. Not yet. Hopefully we’ll be able to buy these someday soon though. Take a deep breath. Again. What is it Doc? I’m not sure, but this Pink Floyd song is rocking.

Teac has announced a somehwhat retro new pair of headphones that incorporates Germany’s beyerdynamic technology. The T 50 p headphones feature sealed ear-cups and the headband is metal. The design is sort of simple and understated.

The enclosed housing will block external noise even in a crowded market place. It has a 1.2 meter long cable and a standard 3.5mm plug with 6.5mm adapters provided. Expect it to hit stores in June for 30,000 Yen (or $324).

Psyko Audio first introduced these headphones at CES in 2009, and the first sets are now shipping. to consumers in North America. The price? An insane $299.99. So what do you get for the price?

You get “precise 3D sound that drastically heightens awareness of your gaming surroundings,” of course. So it must be worth it. Plus you get to look all Sci-Fi like.

Headphones break down so often, you’ve probably wished you had a pair that would last a lifetime. Well, Sleek Audio claims that this pair will. At $400, I hope they are right.

The SA7 headphones are made from military-grade solid aluminum and carbon fiber. The two drivers are even protected by shock-absorbent silicone and can withstand 14,000 Gs, according to the company.

Dr. Dre and the Boston Red Sox have teamed up for a branded Red Sox version of the popular Beats headphones. At $400, these are about $100 more than a typical Beats.

You could have a whole day at the ballpark for less than that. You’re paying for the logo of course. These should at least come with a ticket to one of their games. Red Sox fans probably won’t mind the price though.

Sony has released the very sexy looking MDR-RF4000K digital cordless headphones, which are designed to blend in perfectly in your living room, thanks to the new storage and charging dock that keeps it all wire-free. The headphones feature a 40mm long-stroke diaphragm to produce crystal clear sound quality.

The wireless headphones also come with a NiMH battery that will delievr up to 7 hours of listening time. You can also use a single AAA Alkaline battery which will increase the usage by up to ten hours. We love the design and they would look right at home with all of our other gear.

Just the other day we showed you the Star Wars Coloud headphones and now here are some Marvel headphones from Coloud. The Marvel Coloud Headphones are specially designed for all the Marvel Comics nerds.

These Marvel-themed headphones feature several Marvel superheroes like Iron Man, The Hulk, The Punisher, Wolverine and The X-men. You can pre-order the Marvel Coloud headphones for $39.99 right now.

When you think Star Wars headphones you probably think of headphones that are giant Yoda ears or Princess Leia hair buns, which would be cool, but these are more down to Earth. Coloud has made three pairs of headphones that feature Darth Vader, the Rebel Alliance, and the Star Wars Logo.

Each is also styled to look like the name or imagery on it. The Darth Vader pair looks really awesome in red and black. The headphones feature 40mm power drivers, padded earcups that look like they pivot, a coil cord, 3.5mm plug, 32 OHMs, and they are one size fits all.

iFrogz sent us a pair of their new EarPollution CS40 headphones for review. They come in several stylish colors and actually look pretty nice compared to what’s out there on the headphones market, so we were eager to give them a go and see if they are worth the $39.99 price.

The CS40 claims to offer “cranium busting sound with supreme comfort” and they have a high gloss finish with black dura-strength rubber cups and headband. They also promise light-weight and high quality.

Zumreed Dreams Square headphones feature a frequency response of 20-20,000Hz with 32Ohm of impedance, and a 3.5mm gold-plated stereo mini plug, plus they look nice and retro, even if they are square. They weigh 210grams, combining a simple leather headband with square earpads.

They come in six different colors for just $69.99. If you are looking for smething different in a pair of headphones, the Zumreed Dreams Square headphones are worth a shot for casual listening.

If you haven’t gone wireless yet, then chances are you are dealing with your earphones getting all tangled up, which doesn’t help their lifespan any. The miniWINDER will help keep things neat and tangle free. It claims to be “the world’s smallest earphone carrier” and features automatic retraction.

Just push the button and they retract. Then pull them out and plug them in. They come in a variety of colors that are sure to match your music players, for just $14.95.

Monster teamed up with rapper Dr. Dre last year to produce a line of headphones called Beats by Dr. Dre. The headphones are offered in several styles and now include versions designed in conjunction with other artists like Lady Gaga.

Monster announced that a new version of the Solo HD headphones is available called the Beats Solo HD PRODUCT(RED) that will help raise money for the Global Fund. The Global fund helps pay for Aids research and treatment around the world.

I am a fan of headphones that sound good for watching movies and playing games on my PC. Good sound is also nice for the few occasions when I want to listen to some music. I am far from an audiophile though and stick to reasonably priced headphones.

If you are an audiophile of the type that will pay big money for a great set of headphones Ultrasone has unveiled its new Edition 8 Palladium Edition headphones. The things feature natural S-Logic surround sound and have 30-ohm impedance.
