Stax SR-009 Ear speakers
“Beats by Dre” has successfully estab-
lished itself as the brand of choice when
it comes to headphones. This brand
is already expensive with its rapper
endorsements but it pales in comparison
to the headphones of a certain Japanese
company. The Stax SR-009 can handle
a frequency response between 5 to
42,000 Hertz and you can have this
sonic flexibility for $5,250.
Even with its design, Stax main-
tains that these should not be called
headphones but rather as ear speakers.
Moreover, you need an amplifier worth
$2,000 to power the unit further.
Victorinox
1TB
Swiss Army Knife
We know Swiss knives should be everything you need in a
nice and neat package. With the advent of the digital revolu-
tion, why not include a thumb drive with it? This is the new
feature of the upcoming Victorinox 1TB Swiss Army Knife.
Yes, that is one terabyte of data storage in a little bundle in
the comforts of your pocket.
For practical purposes, the USB 2.0 thumb drive can be
detached from the Swiss Knife so that there will not be
a dangling hazard each time you have to transfer files.
But for a thumb drive with a few practical knives and
features, are you really willing to shell out $3,000?
iPhone Docking Station Made of
Crystal
A docking station is a convenient
way to synchronize files and to

iPhone docking station made
of crystal and painted with
platinum? The
price of the
gadget alone
is almost
enough
to buy
a new
iPhone
altogether.
