Proof the iPod's White Earbuds Don't Suck...That Much

We had a plan. After years of bitching and moaning about crappy, stock Apple earbuds, we were going to put Apple in their place, and once and for all, prove what a lousy product they were packaging with their iPods—the one kink in their plan of global music player dominance. Obviously, the $30 stock earphones in the iPod would get destroyed versus more expensive competitors like those from Shure, Ultimate Ears or V-Moda. So we ordered a bunch of earbud-style headphones all under $20 for "testing". We use those quotes because we really meant "slaughter". Who would have thought that the disrespected Apple earbuds would hold their own? More »

Dealzmodo: 1.5-inch Digital Picture Frame Keychain for $20 This Coby Keychain LCD is about 50% off at Amazon. It holds "62 photos" in undisclosed amounts of memory, but with a 1.5-inch screen, you're not talking more than postage-stamp-sized shots anyhow. Anyone ever try one of these? [Amazon]

Dealzmodo: $20 Coby DVD-Player

As part of a 2-day sale, CVS has the Coby Ultra Compact DVD Player available for $20—no rebates or shipping required. It's no frills, and I'm guessing that means no component connection, but if you are looking for a new DVD player for favorite niece to play peanut butter, this Coby is a decent option. More »

Dealzmodo: 7-inch Coby 40GB PMP, $200

Just in time for those cross-country flights to visit your in-laws this holiday season is this Coby 7-inch 40GB PMP and video recorder. This PMP has a 16:9 ratio, 7-inch screen that displays your beautiful pictures and video at 480x234. This deal isn't too shabby given that most other PMPs this size push the $350 mark or so. The only downside is the limited codec support: MPEG4 for video and MP3/WMA for audio. Better get that video converter ready. More »

Hands-On the Coby MP-C951: Chocolate What?

If you already own the LG Chocolate cellphone, this may be the perfect digital audio player to complement your cellphone. The MP-C951 has similar touch-sensitive controls to that of the Chocolate. For the bread'n'butter—this 20GB player has a 2-inch screen and can play back MP3, OGG, and WMA audio files and AVI video files. Battery life is alright at 12 hours and it carries a pretty good price tag of $210. More »

Another day, another PMP, right? Negatory, Batman. The PMP7040 from Coby is a little different with the insanely large 7-inch screen. Sure seven inches isn't much compared to your 60-inch HDTV, but in the PMP world, seven inches is equivalent to Ron Jeremy. More »

Coby V-ZON with Sega Games


The Coby V-ZON portable DVD player was made, as you can see, basically for kids. With just a 3.5-inch LCD and shockproof technology that plays DVDs, CDs and MP3, it's easy to tote, simple to use and comes with a rechargeable battery that will last 6 hours for music and 2.5 hours for movies. Nothing great, but OK. Now, it looks like the V-ZON will also come with 12 Sega games built in (see package details). That'll keep 'em busy for sure. More »
