But for the most part, these all look the same, so the competitive factor is relatively low. Or rather was, because there's finally an 8-incher planning to break the mold.

What's more, artists everywhere have honed their creative talent to create some of the coolest customized headphones you'll ever see. There are a lot of websites that allow you to customize a set of headphones to your color and design preferences, such as Skullcandy and ColorWare, but hand-made customizations are the only way to appeal to your inner hipster. Some of these designs are downright works of art. -Esty store user kechtupize is one of the more impressive stops for amazing customized headphones.

In fact, it's completely lackluster hardware-wise, plus awfully familiar for some reason. Inexplicable déjà vu? More like nonsensical branding and marketing, as the Desire 310 is an almost exact carbon copy of last year's Desire 300. Let's start with what's… Continue reading HTC accidentally outs low-end, low-cost Desire 310 quad-core smartphone Related posts: HTC Unveils Desire 600 Phone with Dual-SIM, Quad-Core Power and 4.5-Inch Screen Mid-Range HTC Desire 500 Smartphone Lands in UK: Free with Pacts, £200 Outright HTC Intros New Trio of Mid-Range Desire Android Smartphones for China The post HTC accidentally outs low-end, low-cost Desire 310 quad-core smartphone appeared first on GadgeTell.      • Email to a friend • Article Search • View comments • Track comments •   Achvr App Promotes Fulfilling Bucket List Goals Socially Every once in awhile we come across those people who seem to have done so much in their life, especially for their (relatively) young age. Grandiose experiences such as trips to other countries, base jumping, or swimming with dolphins tend to gather oohs and aahs from the listening audience. But if you talk longer and more in-depth, you may also find that these individuals have done so much more. Such things as taking a painting class, volunteering with a local community, or doing something completely new… Continue reading Achvr App Promotes Fulfilling Bucket List Goals Socially Related posts: Clear, a refreshingly simple list app for the iPhone Clear list-keeping app for iPhone gets bumped to version 1.1 RunKeeper brings Goals to the mobile apps The post Achvr App Promotes Fulfilling Bucket List Goals Socially appeared first on GadgeTell.      • Email to a friend • Article Search • View comments • Track comments • Sony Xperia Z1 Compact now available in UK and Germany What do you know, Motorola isn't the only Android player rewarding its users with unexpectedly expeditious product launches, as Sony's Xperia Z1 Compact has gone on sale in a couple of European countries earlier than expected as well.

As you probably heard, Facebook is launching its Paper app, which is basically a news app similar to Flipboard and Feedly. The app will be released for iPhone on February 3 in the United States. But is it any different from the news apps that already exist? And more importantly, should you care? Facebook is sure expecting you to care. It's the first product to come from Facebook Creative Labs and it's safe to assume this is one of the new products that Mark Zuckerburg was referring to when he said, "new and engaging mobile experiences" coming out of Facebook. Here's what the company said about the app: "Paper makes storytelling more… Continue reading Should you care about the Facebook Paper app?

To remain competitive, it can mean adapting an extra something-something in order to stand apart from the crowd. This can be a new direction in marketing, improved performance, a significant drop in price, or even having a celebrity endorsement. But then there's the aspect of look/appearance. This has always been interesting to me, since it's a reasonable litmus test to show which brands follow and which lead. Sure, some people say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But I'm sure it can be annoying as all-get-out for the leaders to have so many ripping off their style. Ultimate Ears doesn't have that problem, and it shows with their UE 9000 headphones. One might even say they don't give two poops about the competition, and that they march to their own drummer. And, ya know, it's really refreshing. Design & Controls The Ultimate Ears 9000 headphones have a striking appearance that is very different from most other headphones out there on the market. If you want something in line with "generic" or "cookie-cutter", you're not going to get it here. Personally, I really dig the look and how the headphones present itself. Flexible and strong like a gymnast If you tend to be a little rough with your belongings, you won't have much to worry about with the UE 9000. It has some seriously-solid construction, and nothing feels loose or flimsy whatsoever. The band is flexible and can put up with a respectable amount of abuse. The metal hinges? They're not just for show – they're designed to last. Hinges in folding headphones are a big deal to me, since moving parts are prone to breaking before anything else. While I'm careful with my gear, there is a piece of mind that comes with owning the UE 9000 and knowing that you don't need to always have kid-gloves on. So if you or someone you know tends to handle things a bit rough, keep this set in mind. The only criticism I have about the appearance of the UE 9000 is that the ear cups should have been finished in matte (matching the band) instead of gloss. It's not just that the glossy parts collect all sorts of fingerprints for display. They rob the headphones of having a fully modern-industrial look to it. Glossy is for pets, children, and immature adults! You get the whole package with the UE 9000 The UE 9000 headphones have a smart button layout. Bring your right hand up to cup the side, and the index finger locates the power switch while the thumb button rests on the volume/track control. The left hand index finger will rest on the pass through button, which, upon the second press, unmutes the music so you can resume the tunes and keep the world on the outside of the ear cups. I can see how some might complain about the location of the power switch, being that… Continue reading TechnologyTell Review: UE 9000 Bluetooth Headphones Related posts: Gadgetell Review: Able Planet Clear Harmony NC200 foldable headphones FCC checking out HP Bluetooth headphones GadgeTell Review: Polk Audio’s Nue Era Headphones The post TechnologyTell Review: UE 9000 Bluetooth Headphones appeared first on GadgeTell.      • Email to a friend • Article Search • View comments • Track comments • Unannounced Samsung SM-T330 crops up, fits the profile of a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 It's no secret Samsung plans to bolster its tablet lineup even more (as in beyond the Galaxy Tab and Note Pros recently rolled out), but until today, we had no idea exactly how grand the company's designs were.
