Sennheiser has announced a new line of “HD” closed headphones which are supposedly optimised for iPod, iPhone and other portable device use and are distinctly affordable.

The complete range of compact, lightweight and foldable HDs feature powerful neodymium magnets and ultra-light diaphragms and adjustable, comfortable ear cups.

The HD218 comes in at just £40 and offers punchy bass and decent mids and highs. The closed design helps to block both outside noise and sound leakage. They have a frequency response of 19 – 21000 Hz and weigh in at 224g with a 1.4m single-sided OFC cable.

For a tenner more, the HD228s offer extended treble (18 – 22000 Hz frequency response) and are available in either black or white finish.

iPhone 3G S comes with typical Apple headset buds, but for the first time these earbuds sport the new “remote”, which includes volume controls and more.

Apple previously introduced iin-ear headsets with remote and mic for the second generation iPod touch (and aluminum MacBooks) in September 2008, but clearly labeled them as not-compatible with the iPhone 2G or iPhone 3G because the “remote” part was useless.

What a different a generation makes.

1. Volume Down button
2. Center button
3. Volume Up button

Full control scheme introduced with the 4th gen iPod shuffle is available to iPhone 3G S owners with one difference — holding down the center button activates Voice Control.

Winter is coming and warm gloves are a must, but savvy iPhone users know that wearing gloves makes interacting with your iPhone impossible. Yes, the sleek multi-touch screen we’ve all come to love and know only responds to human touch.

So what’s a girl (or boy) to do? Well thanks to DOTS gloves, you may no longer have to choose between accessing your iPhone or keeping warm.

The glove sports metal dots, placed on the cloth covering the fingertips, that replicates “capacitive touch” technology, mimicking the electron flow of human skin and making them touchscreen sensitive.

The discrete dots are located under the thumb, pointer, and index fingers and provide a smoothe curved surface for scratch free use.

These stylish and effective gloves come in knit cloth for $15, or upgrade to ragg wool for an extra $5.
