Astro Now Shipping A*Star In-Ear Headsets

Good news to those who pre-ordered the new Astro A*Star In-Ear Headset, Astro are now beginning to ship orders out as well as take new orders for the A*Star buds. These will run you $79.95 and come in black, white and silver flavors with a flat tangle-resistant cable and a whole lot of gaming attitude. The A*Star are Astro's first gaming in-ear headsets but will require you to fork up some more of your hard earned cash in order to purchase an additional Astro MixAmp priced at $129.95 which you will need in order to Xbox Live and Playstation Network online voice communication and enable the 7.1 Dolby surround sound. But of course you can enjoy the A*Star without the Astro MixAmp as regular in-ears with their build in remote and mic. Hit up the source link below for more details.

Bose Intros New MIE2 Earphones

At last. Bose has made some changes to their earphones and added three new models, the MIE2, MIE2i and the IE2. The IE2 are made for portable players while both the MIE2/i are made for making calls and listening to music as well. What does the "i" stand for? Well that's just to let you know that the MIE2i are fully compatible with Apple's line of iDevices. It's very disappointing that Bose did not make these new models noise isolating and just stuck with the old ear tips that do not isolate any outside noise. Bose did however made some noticeable changes to their ear tips, the StayHear tips are made so that they will stay in your ear while you exercise. The IE2 will be available on August 23rd with a price tag of $99.95. The MIE2 will run you an extra $30, with the same date availability. The MIE2i will only be available in October.
