Headphones with Built-In iPod Holder

I just love iPod accessories, and it seems there is simply no end in sight to the number of new gadgets that are available for iPods and other MP3 players.

Check out these CTA Sportpod Digital Headphones with built-in iPod holders. One side of the iPod headphones is a holder for 1st generation iPods, and the other side works with the iPod Nano. What a great idea for getting those cords out of the way. I think this would be ideal for any fitness walker, or running enthusiast.

The iPod holder headphones feature padded ear pieces, an adjustable headband, and a cord in case you ever want to plug into your iPod or other MP3 player the old-fashioned way. Happy (cordless) listening!

Wireless speakers for your pool

Now here’s a gadget that any pool or Jacuzzi owner will love. These wireless floating speakers are an excellent idea for the ongoing dilemma of how to safely bring the tunes poolside. The speakers work via a small transmitter attached to your stereo, and have a 150 foot range.

This cool gadget is waterproof too, so there’s no need to worry about letting the speaker console float aimlessly as you swim and enjoy the music. You can even use them with your iPod or other MP3 player.

And who says these have to be used in a pool? They’ll work anywhere as long as they’re within 150 feet of the transmitter. Plop them in the Jacuuzi, out in the garden, or even in the bathtub! I found these waterproof wireless speakers at IWantOneofThose.Com for $71.00.
