    Hot In The Hive: HeartBeats Earbuds By Lady GaGa

    By now, you've probably at least heard of the rhythm-thumping Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, if not seen them around town conspicuously perched on the heads of commuting musicophiles everywhere. They're not cheap, and they're certainly not discreet, but they do deliver some seriously stellar sound quality for your favorite mp3s. But what if your style-conscious self isn't crazy about over-the-ear headphones... and even less in love with the $300 price tag? Thankfully, someone equally style-savvy (but perhaps much more "experimentally" so) has designed her own fashionable equivalent without sacrificing the sound value. Lady Gaga's HeartBeats, designed by the pantsless wonder herself, are sleek and chic and help deliver club caliber sound despite their tiny in-ear package. If you're not a serious stickler for sound clarity, you might be okay with sticking to your regular iPod buds, but if you strive to turn your morning walk to work into your own personal runway/dance floor, the HeartBeats may be your next go-to gadget!


    Price: $99.95

    The Hottest Headphones To Help You Tune Out In Style

    Confession: I'm a girl who practically has her mp3 player permanently wired to her eardrums. In fact, I've been known to skip class whenever my iPod was too low on battery to survive the walk (though I don't condone such naughty behavior). As a result, I know all about the importance of a nice, stylish pair of headphones. So what if you're in the market for a new pair but just don't have $300 to spring for those fancy-schmancy Dr. Dre ones? Luckily for us audiophile fashionistas, over-the-ear headphones and the more discreet in-ear earbuds are becoming more and more prominent in their use as fashion statements with their sleek designs and wild colors and embellishments, and they still provide excellent sound quality without costing a small fortune. Go big and bold with a cushy neon pair like Aerial 7's Matadors or keep it sleek with a subtly funky pair of earbuds by Elecom. Check the slideshow for a selection of headphones so hip, you might start wearing them around your neck just to coordinate with your sneakers!

    Would you define your dad as a jet set traveler? Does he often fly cross country for business meetings or go off to exotic countries for research opportunities? Whatever the reason, you've probably seen the pages of stamps on his passport or well worn luggage in his closet. So why not give him something this Father's Day that makes his travels easier? You can't guarantee that his luggage won't be lost or that babies will stay quiet on his flights. But for some peace and quiet on his airplane rides, check out the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling headphones. They're super lightweight and neutralizes outside noise for the best listening experience. For the dad who's always in a suit and tie, give him a pair of cedar shoe trees to keep his fancy shoes from getting crushed in his luggage and to keep bugs and mildew away. For more Father's Day gifts fit for the world wandering dad, check out my slideshow!

    Retro tech. Although it's somewhat of a contradictory statement, techie gadgets reminiscent of days past are popping up everywhere! So silly and cute you might dismiss them as toys if it weren't for their practical applications. Yep, these fun gadgets may be retro-inspired, but they're fully equipped with the brains of today. Legos from my childhood have transformed into portable iPod speakers, the rubber ducky from my bath into a USB drive (iDuck), and that impossible Rubik's cube is now a multi-function digital clock. These "toys" are difficult to pass up and would make wonderful gifts for friends (or self)! So check out my SLIDESHOW now to see my fave 5 retro techie toys from around the Hive!
