Marvel Fans get Custom Headphones

by Jay Garrett on March 12, 2010

Whether you’re a fan of Iron Man, The Hulk, The Punisher, Wolverine, or all of the X-Men The Marvel Coloud Headphones have something for you :)

It would be too simple to describe these headphones and their frequency sensitivity, db output and the like. So, instead why not read what Coloud says about their own cans:

“Coloud turns brands into sound. Our cords transfer visual life from any music player you choose to plug it into. We create function, value design and promote quality headphones that endure,enrich,and extend your lifelong music experience.”

Personally I’m doubting that you’d be buying these headphones for their audiophile reproduction – more for the fact that The Punisher logo looks cool or Wolverine is one of the bestest Marvel characters. EVER!

You can get them here: Bad Toy Store.

If that’s not enough – why not check out the huge range of comic hero based TV’s on offer here?

If you like the idea of flashing an Apple iPad around Blighty before the rest of the fanboys and girls but would rather not have to fly stateside to make it so then here’s the answer my gadgety faithful.

Slip in your order to www.bundlebox.com from right now because pre-ordering is now on over the pond. No need to wait for that pesky UK release date!

BundleBox, if you’re not familiar with the name, was set up by former Google exec Andre Schmidt last year and lets UK consumers buy from any US website. It’s basically an online transatlantic shopping service that lets us in the UK register for a free USA postal address meaning that we can sign on to the pre-order service despite the current US residency restriction.

Just simply sign up to Bundlebox, select its ‘Buy for Me’ service and order and pay for your iPad.

Because the iPad counts as an “automatic data processing machine” under customs rules, it’s import duty free – which all adds up to the 16GB WiFi version costing £465.20, including all shipping costs and VAT.

Tempted? Or are you thinking about buying a different tablet?

Let me know :)

Thing is that, in my opinion, none of them look as lovely as the HTC Legend.
The body is carved from a single piece of aluminum – Mmmmm….. unibody….. I hope Apple are watching!
Under that gorgeous hood purrs Android 2.1 [...]

Sony thinks not and is halting its OLED TV production in Japan and will be ending sales once its existing stock runs out.
Sales will continue, however, in America and Europe.

Let’s face it though – until you read the spec-sheet they all look the [...]

Whilst the UK and other countries are trying to kill off smokers via hypothermia or poverty it takes a place like China to even the score.
Yes, the boldly named “The Machismo!” is billed as being “the world’s hottest cigarette lighter mobile phone.”

Ok – we’re still in the crunch even though the Government says that we’re not.
Personally – I’m still not rich so buying the girlfriend some swanky jewellery is just not gonna happen. Even on Valentines Day!
I might be able to stretch to this rather swish looking beverage though (remember I’m just a musician!).
This must [...]

Bigtrak was a marvel – It was a six-wheeled vehicle with a front-mounted blue photon beam headlamp, and a keypad on top.
Yup – this excitement is partly due to the fact that me and my bro never had [...]
