It's that time of the year again where Philips are refreshing their line of super flexible and durable line of headphones. Philips has announced at IFA of a newly refreshed pair of headphones called The Stretch Scratch, which are over-ear headphones featuring the same good old TR55LX headband that is super flexible not even Snooki can break. We've reviewed the very first model of Philips O'Neill mashup that are The Stretch headphones a while back and can attest to their super durability and great sound quality. The new The Stretch Scratch headphones are said to have 40mm drivers for deep bass and clear dynamic sound quality and anti-tangle, detachable cables.

With that, Philips has also released another pair of headphones called The Bend. The Bend are on-ear headphones with 30mm drivers that deliver deep, dynamic bass inside a super tough construction with a headband made from the same exact materials used to make snow goggles for that extra toughness. Toughness and durability seems like the most important aspect to Philips in their line of headphones. Both the The Stretch Scratch and The Bend headphones will be available in various different colors. No release date or pricing has been announced as of yet.

What looks to be the world's most intriguing tablet stand is the InfiniteLoop. The InfiniteLoop is the creation of Tim Gushue, who designed the InfiniteLoop to be the most simplest and versatile tablet stand ever. The patented co-molded metal and plastic form can be easily manipulated to any shape your imagination comes up with while maintaining the strength and rigidity to hold up all sort of heavy tablets like the iPad.

What's more, is that there is also the shorter MiniLoop stand made out of the same materials as its older brother, and it too can be manipulated in infinite angles and is compatible with almost any smartphone. The MiniLoop can attach to almost any surface by wrapping it around it, kind of like the flexible Gorillapod tripod. The possibilities and uses of these flexible stands is pretty much endless. The InfiniteLoop is currently a Kickstarter project and you can pre-order the MiniLoop for $19 (will retail for $29.95) while the InfiniteLoop's pre-order price is $35 (will retail for $44.95), plus you'll also get the MiniLoop as a bonus. If you're interested, head over to the InfiniteLoop Kickstarter page for more info. The guys at Infinite Loop hope to start shipping these out by August.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!
