Bose is Out, the iHome is In

Filed under: Gadgets

Bose is out, the iHome is in. The iHome is made specifically to house your various Apple devices and the sound it creates packs a punch!

The iHome devices are equipped to operate with iPods and iPhones as well as Zunes and most MP3 players with an audio cord - or even Bluetooth technology.

The range runs from $49.95 to $199.99 and any order over $99.00 comes with free earbuds. Our pick? The Rotating Alarm Clock, $79.99, at right. Check out the gallery to see what it does (it flips!), and for more cool products like the color-changing iPod player.

Shop the iHome store here (finally, a music site that doesn't crash your web browser).

Ostrea Marine Ltd. Edition "Le Nantucket" Luxury Boat

The luxe motorboat designed by Ostrea Marine with Parisian luxury leathergoods maker Lancel, which debuted at the recent Paris Boat Show, has gone on sale in a limited edition of 25 with a $236,000 pricetag. The 25-foot "Le Nantucket" is designed to adapt the amenities of a classically-designed luxury yacht to a craft suitable for use on rivers and lakes.

The 120-h.p. diesel engine enables the vessel to hit 25 knots, and it comes equipped with a canopy, chemical toilet and the usual nautical knickknacks. The real beauty of the boat however lies in its interior and detailing, including the kind of leatherwork usually only found on an Hermès bag. Complimenting the abundance of wood, leather and chrome are LCD displays, a Bose sound system, and an integrated iPod so you can cruise to your favorite tunes.

Bose QuietComfort 3 Headphones

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Luxury means not having to hear other people talk, unless you actually want to and Bose's new QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Canceling Headphones are the perfect way to do just that. They offer full-spectrum noise reduction, along with Bose's usual commitment to quality and performance, very much like their older models. Unlike those models, however, the QuietComfort 3 has a much smaller, sleeker headset design. In fact, they are nearly half the size of the QuietComfort 2!

This also means that, since I have the QC2, the QC3 users might be talking about the size of my headphones behind my back - and not in a good way. Fortunately, the Bose headphones work so well that I won't be able to hear them.

If you want to upgrade your pair, the new headphones are $349.
