One of the first tips we give new iPod owners is to ditch those iconic but poor-sounding white earbuds for something more substantial, like the new Pioneer MJ Series Headphones ($50-$90). The lineup's flagship MJ71s feature a unique bass duct for improved bass reduction, and while it offers a slightly wider frequency response than its more affordable MJ31 and MJ21 siblings, all three models share simple, stylish covers, foldable designs for maximum portability, 40mm drivers, and gold plated 3.5mm plugs.

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
