Urbanears Plattan

Boasting 14 different colors, the Plattan headphones by Urbanears are the latest offering from the hip Scandinavian company. While they score high for good looks, the Plattan rank low on audio reproduction and sound clarity. But the “Zound Plug,“ which allows your friends to plug into your earcap to listen to whatever you’re listening to, is pretty cool. $99 from Tangs Technobay, 3/F, 310 Orchard Rd., 6737-5500.

TDK WR700

TDK Life On Record’s latest wireless technology gives you high-fidelity using a proprietary audio technology that delivers crystal-clear sound wirelessly. This smart looking device also features a nifty function that enables you and three other friends to listen in simultaneously (they need to have wireless headphones as well) to your iPod or stereo. $349 from Jaben Network, #04-11 The Adelphi, 1 Coleman St., 6337-0809.

Beats by Dr. Dre

When you have one of hip hop’s greatest producers lending his name to a gadget, you know that you’re in for something good. Boasting noise cancellation as well as an in-line microphone for mobile phones, turn heads while bopping yours. $420 from iStudio, #01-02/03 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Rd., 6884-9649.
