Loud Enough Earphones: Ultimate Ears For Your Kids [Headphones]

Posted on July 1st, 2008 in Gadgets, Music by admin

It’s been a while since we brought you some news from Ultimate Ears (the cat eating through the cable to my UE Super.Fi’s doesn’t count, sadly) But now UE have released their newest offering, and it’s for the kids: the Loud Enough earphones. “They’ve gone barking mad!” you might say, citing expense and the potential damage that might be done to young ears by a max-volume burst of Noddy. Well, you’d be wrong: these earbud ‘phones have special volume-limiting tech built in so you can trust your kids not to hurt their ears. Plus they’re $40. They’ve got silicon buds down to extra-small size… so I guess the only danger is what inventive kids will get up to with those. [Crave via Gizmodiva]


The Time Harp

Posted on June 28th, 2008 in DIY Technology, Music by admin

The Time Harp is a stringed musical instrument by Larnie Fox. It uses motion sensors to trigger what appears to be rotating plastic lids to vibrate the strings. I’m not too sure how close I would get with all that exposed wire!
