Razer Drops BlackShark Aviator-Inspired Gaming Headset

Razer is known for its extreme and unique naming and designing of gaming peripherals, and its latest gaming headset dubbed the BlackShark is no different in that regard. The BlackShark is an aviator-inspired gaming headset designed after those retro military helicopter headsets said to offer superior comfort and sound isolation thanks to giant over-ear, leatherette covered memory foam ear cups. The BlackShark features a long detachable and adjustable boom mic, 40mm drivers with enhanced bass response and a combined 3.5mm audio and mic plug with a splitter adapter for old school computers that use separate inputs. Razer's BlackShark lands later this month for $120.

Urbanear Announces Their Newest Zinken

Since the creation of Beats by Dre, headphones have become popular for people beyond the audiophiles who want top of the line quality music at all times. It has transformed from a normally used accessory in the home to something we would wear in public as a fashion accessory as well. Urbanears creates their products based upon visual appeal as much as audio quality. Their recently released Zinken stands as an example; it presents a clean and modern feel that packs a heavy punch when given the opportunity. 

With features such the TurnCable and ZoundPlug, the Zinken is compatible with anyone's needs. Constructed with rugged Kevlar on the inside, the TurnCable is compatible with DJ mixers using a 6.3mm plug while also using a 3.5mm plug on the other end for normal use with mobile phones and iPods. It is also coiled for extra extension for DJs while performing at a show. The ZoundPlug allows two headphones to enjoy tunes through a single audio source. By connecting two headphones through the ZoundPlug, your friend can listen to whatever you're listening to.

Cushioned with large padding on both the cups and the headband, the design of the Zinken allows it to sit on your head hours on end without feeling any discomfort. Thanks to the extra ear cushions, you get more noise isolation too. Packed within the ear cups are custom dual 40mm drivers that will blast spectacular sound across the entire spectrum. 

Not only did Urbanears make sure the Zinken performed and appeared as amazing as it could be, they wanted to assure a reasonable price point to fit anybody's budget, even the aspiring musician's. Available in Urbanear retailers and on their website, the Zinken will cost you $140. It is difficult to find quality that the Zinken promises in this budget range.

Harman Kardon just teased us with what looks like a pair of the company's first pair of over-ear headphones made with ridiculously premium materials and unique industrial design.

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.
