Elecom Ear Drop earphones

If tattoos and body piercings aren’t enough for you, here’s a chance to personalize your ears with the Elecom Ear Drop earphones.

These in-earphones are covered with bling-tastic crystals (plastic to you and me) and are sure to make the classiest person look like a hooker.

No word on what they’ll cost but I’m sure they’ll be worth every penny.

Auto Express have compared five sets of infrared headphones for use in cars in their latest issue with Alpine’s SHS-N252 coming out as the favorite.

The idea of the comparison is to find the best headphones to keep kids quiet during long journeys and compares the Alpine SHS-N252, the C-KO IR-H688-2A, the Blaupunkt IVHS-01, the C-KO CENIR388A and the C-KO IR5.1.

Unsurprisingly the Alpine headset leads the comparision though some might find it a bit pricey at £110, though it does come with two pairs of headphones. Auto Express were particularly impressed with the sound and build quality and also the dual channel feature that allows switching between two sources, for example a DVD player and car stereo.

They also give a favorable mention to the C-KO IR-H688-2A, the only other two channel receiver in the test. These are a fair bit cheaper than the Alpine at only £40 but according to the test have inferior sound quality.
