Amazon has the Meelectronics M6-CL Sound-Isolating In-Ear Headphones for just $22.82, originally priced at $49.99. This model “has an over-the-ear, stage monitor design with stainless steel memory wire to hold the earphone securely in place for a locked-in fit perfect for strenuous activities such as running, weightlifting, biking, and skydiving.” Product page.
But just because the M6P excels for those activities, it is also great for everything else such as walks, sitting at a computer, or even sleeping. In-ear design effectively isolates you from outside sounds allowing you to hear your music clearly at lower volumes which can protect you from hearing loss.

Don’t you just hate when companies put out a new phone model after just one year? Say goodbye to paying those upgrade and/or contract renewal fees. Introducing REVIVE by Kinneir Dufort, this smartphone “is meant to be modular – you can upgrade parts like the processor, internal memory and battery.” Videos after the break.
