Newly Redesigned Earphones Coming With The iPhone 5?

With all the leaks and rumors that have been creating huge hype around the iPhone 5 release, we practically already know everything that is waiting for us at Apple's keynote. What nobody has yet to mention are the ever-so-popular Apple earphones that have accompanied the iPhone since the very first generation... until now. 

Macrumors reports that a Vietnamese source called Tinhte.vn has provided images and details on the possible next generation Apple headphones. Moving away from the common earbud shapes that we have all grown accustomed to, Apple is heading towards a completely new design. The image above compares the newly redesigned earphones (left) with the old generation (right) that we have come to both hate and love. This source goes into further detail, claiming a Foxconn plant in Vietnam has been assembling these new earphones ahead of the September 12th event. 

While there have been no confirmation from other sources on the legitimacy of this rumor, the overall design and build quality reflects what Apple is known for. Whether or not this is simply another rumor or the real deal, we will just have to wait and see. 11 more days everybody! Catch the video overview after the break.

50 Cent Reveals 50 3D In-Ear Headphones

50 Cent just can't seem to keep any secretes spilling the beans on every product behind its new audio brand, SMS By 50. After the Sync By 50 headphones specs were leaked out, 50 Cents turns to his loyal fans for advice on two unreleased models from the in-ear headphones line that include the 50 3D and 50 Sport. 50 Cent thinks these sound great, but we think they look like cheap pairs of Skullcandys. We're really starting to doubt 50 Cent's new partnership with an unknown audio company.

The above image shows the unreleased 50 Sport headphones geared towards active sports with earhooks and waterproof capabilities. The packaging isn't final and set to be changed. Good start on that. This time we've got no specs, price or release date, but we'll be sure to update you as soon as we know!

Klinggon, A Stylish Magnetic Earphone Holder

Some people must have all of their cables organized in some sort of cable management, me? I couldn't care less. What you're looking at isn't Nike's latest shoe technology. No, these are quite simply a cable management solution for your earphones. The name is Klinggon, a little stylish dual-injected hard plastic and silicone earphone and cord holder that can be magnetically attached to your clothing using built-in neodymium magnets that will not damage your clothing but will interfere with a pacemaker. That is if you've got one in you. The Kilinggon's main purpose is to keep your earphones from ever falling to the ground and the cord from getting in your way while you're hard at work doing what you do best in a stylish way.

 

The Klinggon does look really good on its own, but who should really invest in one? Someone who hates having cables flying all around while running would be my guess. The Klinggon can also double as a neat dock for your earphones when you're not using them instead of ruining a perfectly good pair by tossing them in your bag or pocket. It could be available in 8 awesome color combinations if this Kickstarter project will end in success. If you think you and your earphones are in need of a Klinggon, you can pre-order yours for $25. Meanwhile, I think I'll stick to my bad habits of stuffing my earphones inside my pocket.
