Nocs Intros NS500 In-Ear Headphones With iPhone 5s-Inspired Design

Nocs has introduced its latest in-ear headphones today, the $80 NS500 Aluminum. These iPhone 5s-inspired in-ears are one of the prettiest we've seen. The NS500 share a similar refined and minimalist design language with Apple's iPhone 5s like a polished chamfered-cut edge, smooth sandblasted aluminum surface and construction anodized in a subtle champagne gold hue - or in a Space Gray shade to compliment your iOS handset. 

The NS500's 8mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers claim to deliver the listener with an "amazing sonic experience that offers impeccable balance, rich detail and a deep bass". A flat tangle-free, Kevlar reinforced cable features Nocs' slim and lightweight, iOS 7-compatible 3-button remote with MEMS microphone for headset use and music playback control. Don't fret though, there's also an Android-supported version of the NS500 available as well.

Barnes & Noble Nook Headphones Revealed

Barnes & Noble has secretly revealed some new Nook branded audio gear for the loyal Nook tablet user, just because. The lineup consists of one pair of on-ear Nook Audio OE250 headphones as well as one pair of in-ear Nook Audio IE250 headphones designed with an old too familiar generic style that doesn't seem to impress considering the vast amount of good quality headphone offerings available. But it's a nice try, Barnes & Noble. The important juicy details aren't yet available, but what's certain is that the in-ear headphones will retail for $19.95, and we're only guessing the on-ear headphones will run around $60.

Monster has teamed up with Lady Gaga once again to release a brand new pair of fashionable pair of in-ear headphones. The Heartbeats 2.0 with ControlTalk will replace the more girly, original Hearbeats By Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga has designed these herself, not surprise here. Her inspiration? Those pointy studs on her leathery outfits.

Other features such as a flat, tangle-free cable and SportHooks will help you rock it out even harder. Monster has yet to announce when these should be available to purchase.
