A Japanese company known as Solid Alliance has come out with some appropriately named “Crazy earphones”, and they live up (or should I say down?) to their name. For just $22 a pair, you can have a bolt, a paw print, a banana, or some sushi in your ear to get music from your iPod or whatever.

When it comes to enjoying your tunes or game sounds privately and wholly, it may all be in the earphones we use. Normally, our iPhones or iPod Touch come with the default earphones from Apple but the thing is, are they enough and the question of how long they can be used is in question. If you look around today, iPhone owners are looking for something better to replace them and the Atrio M8 earphones may be a good set to consider.

The Atrios come in four identical models: The m3, m5, m8 and m9. The only difference is the color. Also included are a sturdy carrying case and many different sized silicone and foam tips as well as a cleaning tool.

The Atrios earphones come from a low profile company dedicated to the professional musician who need custom-fit earphones for stage use. But aside from that, they bank highly on comfort. Hence this is a reason as to why their earphones don’t come cheap. They cost $200 but quality costs money to make.

Perhaps if you can spare the money, this is a good iPhone accessory to have. However do remember that today, we all pay any amount for quality and comfortable devices. The Atrio M8 is clearly in that level which precedes value for your money.

That new iPod shuffle has a weird set of headphones. The controls are all on it and it will take you a while to master them. On top of that, you won’t be able to add any new headphones unless you also get the necessary control dongle.

In case the default Apple phones aren’t the thing for you, you can always get the new iEP505 earphones announced by iLuv. The phones come with the in-line needed controls so you won’t need any kind of adapter to make them work. The iEP505 earphones will cost $50 and they will come in black, white, pink, red and blue.

The Apple iPod shuffle, the usual starting device for people to get into the iPod craze has long been forgotten due to the various iPod variants introduced in the market.

Today, Apple announced the launch of the new iPod shuffle, the world’s smallest music player at nearly half of the size of the previous model, and the first music player that talks to you. The revolutionary new VoiceOver feature enables iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names.

The third generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs and is easier to use with all of the controls conveniently located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminum design with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable.

The third generation 4GB iPod shuffle is now shipping and comes in silver or black for a suggested price of $79 (US) through the Apple Store(R) (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. iPod shuffle comes with the Apple Earphones with Remote and the iPod shuffle USB cable. iPod shuffle requires a Mac(R) with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS(R) X v10.4.11 or later and iTunes(R) 8.1 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows Vista, Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3) or later and iTunes 8.1.
