The Bose® In-Ear Headphones

     If you are like me and listen to your iPod all the time, then you need a good set of headphones. Bose is known world wide for making some of the best audio equipment for the masses, so you would think that they would make great pair of headphones. Well, they do. In fact these are the best headphones that I have ever used. They have a good even sound at all volume levels, they have a fantastic bass thump that would make you think you are standing next to a 15" woofer ( well not exactly ) and there is no screech in the highs. I can also honestly say that I don't get any annoying ringing in my ears after wearing these for a couple of hours. They fit in my ears very comfortably with no falling out and I can even hear nearby conversations if needed. 
     In my opinion these are the best headphones that normal people can buy. Yes $60 seems a little high for portable music devices compared to the $8 crap and the $17 stuff you see elsewhere, but its the sound that you want and its the sound that you get. There is no comparison. You Gotta Have Bose!!

The Scosche tapSTICK

     The Scosche tapSTICK is the greatest addition to my iPod Shuffle I could have ever purchased. I got annoyed with the Apple headphones that came with my Shuffle and you can't just plug in your favorite ear buds and go the gym. You need a dongle or a Scosche tapSTICK. This is a sheath that covers your iPod shuffle and has the controls, that were built into the original headphones, on the side of the device. This gives you a sturdy control area that is easy to get to. When I'm in the gym I have the headphones under my shirt so that the wire doesn't get caught up on anything. With the controls built into the wire I would sometimes have a hard time getting to them. Not to mention the issue I was having with the ear buds falling out of my ears. The tapSTICK has solved these issues. I am able to use my favorite ear buds and have the controls in an easily accessible location.
     When I 1st purchased the iPod Shuffle I almost returned it after a couple of weeks of ear buds falling out, but then after a little Googling I found the tapSTICK. You Gotta Have this cool little device if you have an iPod Shuffle.

The iPod Shuffle

This is the coolest Shuffle that Apple has ever made. Its durable, sleek and very easy to use. The 4GB of memory should be plenty for most people and the transfer rate from my computer is very good. I can change out the entire library in about 1.5 minutes. The charge holds for a long time too. I can use it for 3 days in the gym on a single charge without any problems. Just clip it to your shorts or shirt and you are in business. You wont even feel the shuffle attached to you. This has replaced my 160Gb iPod for all activities that might damage the screen. My 160Gb iPod now lives in my car and also gets to ride in airplanes on occasion. This cool little iPod comes in numerous colors to suite your needs. Silver, Black, Pink, Blue and  Green. If you want to buy your loved ones something that they will actually use and genuinely appreciate, then this is it. You Gotta Have this iPod.

The only issue i have with this iPod is the headphones with the controls built in. These headphones sound great, as they should, but they fall out of my ears when i am doing anything but standing still. I run, lift weights and do all kinds of exercise, but I hate it when I constantly need to readjust my earphones. This led me to look into the tapSTICK By Scosche.
