The News By Me

Daft Punk and Tron: Legacy fans can rejoice knowing they too can get involved with the spirit of the film through new headphones released by Monster Cable.

Complete with 'Daft Punk Styling', the headphones' most obvious feature is the LED Light Drive System used to recreate TRON: LEGACY animated lighting effects on the side of the cans.

But sonically the headphones have been boosted too: large drivers and noise isolation technology, as well as a removable boom mic, make these a decent choice for both gaming or home cinema - plus hands free calling has is available too for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Users will also get a free specially created surround-sound mix of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack with the headphones, which we're assuming people that love light up cans will enjoy just as much.

If you're thinking of adding them to your Christmas list, they're not cheap though: £249.95 in the UK and will be available in a variety of electronics retailers.

Logitech has announced a new range Ultimate Ears earphones – with prices ranging from £17.99 right up to the Ultimate Ears 700 Noise-Isolating Earphones prices at £159.

The Ultimate Ears range from Logitech has been extended with a host of new options.

All earphones come with five pairs of variously sized soft ear cushions, a compact, protective case for your earphones while you're on the go and noise-isolation technology.

The flagship pair are the Ultimate Ears 700 Noise-Isolating Earphones, which Logitech state "offer superior sound without cramping your style."

Dual-armature

"These earphones use a custom-tuned dual-armature micro design that separates the high and low frequencies to deliver sound so full and detailed you'll hear breaths in between lyrics.

"The noise-isolating design reduces outside noise by 26dBs and lets you focus on the music.

"At just 11.6g the earphones are light enough to wear whether you're relaxing, riding the bus to work, or going for a jog. The sleek, micro design makes your earphones look and feel as good as they sound – ear earphone is smaller than a scent."

We don't understand the last bit either.

Seal of approval

A little oddly, Logitech has rolled out musician Seal to promote the product; "Whether I am using my in-ear monitors on stage during a live performance, in the studio during a recording session or on a plane listening to music on my iPod, everything comes through so clearly," said Seal.

"With Ultimate Ears, singing – and listening – becomes a simple pleasure."

"Many performing artists we work with enjoy putting personal artwork on their stage in-ear monitors as an additional form of self expression," said Philippe Depallens, Logitech vice president and general manager of the Ultimate Ears business.
