Bose Quietly Updates Its QuietComfort Noise-Canceling Headphones (With Ears-On)
Ok, so the QuietComfort 15s look almost exactly like the pair of QuietComfort 2s you used that one time you had enough miles to fly business class, and they still cost $300, but you'll have to trust me: Something's changed. More » -

The Blank Generation: 1979 as Audio Cassette Enabler
Sony introduced the Walkman in 1979, and I got mine a year later. The Walkman boosted the profile of audio cassettes, which had been challenging LPs and 8-Tracks as a music medium. They soon dominated the music scene. More » -

Sandisk Replaces CDs With SlotMusic MicroSDs With Big-Name MP3 Albums Aboard
Sandisk's slotMusic cards are not much more than tweaked 1GB microSD cards with a logo and a special USB-compatible sled: but the fact that they'll carry albums from big names like BMI Music, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group makes them interesting. They'll also be DRM free too, which is a pleasant surprise. It's an attempt to change the way some people buy MP3s—you'll get a card you can slot into your cellphone or PC with high-quality MP3s (up to 320kbps), artwork, videos and such, which you can also reuse as a 1GB memory card later, and that's kinda handy.

Sony Bluetooth Sport Earphones: Possibly Useful, Sadly Hideous
When I'm in the gym I love listening to music, and hate the way my headphone cord whaps against me as I'm exercising... and that's exactly the sort of problem Sony's DR-BT160AS heaphones are designed to stop. The "active stereo" 'phones connect wirelessly over Bluetooth, are splashproof, have volume and play control buttons, a mike for cellphone compatibility and adjustable earpieces. But that's where the goodness stops: the design also has "pods" that house the batteries and circuitry, sitting behind your ears like a chunky black hearing-aid. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just looks like bad design. Due out October, price still to be announced. [Digitaldrops via OhGizmo]
