AKG K 26 PSupplier Audio Products GroupWebsite www.audioproducts.com.auPrice $79.95
Want a great sounding set of headphones to replace those tacky iPod ear-buds? The AKG K 26 P are thirty dollars cheaper than their rivals, the Sennheiser PX 200, and sound better to boot. They sport semi-DJ stylin’, fold up very neatly and have more bass than you can throw a fi shing rod at. They’re fully closed meaning you won’t disturb your neighbours and they can handle high volumes without disintegrating into a cesspool of crackles. Swish.

Chuck some UV ink inside for water cooling or fill it with Mountain Dew and drink to your liver’s doom.
BenQ Joybee 200 256MB Supplier BenQ Website www.benq.com.au Price $219
This stylishly small audio player has an orange and green LCD display, and is a pretty decent player with an intuitive menu system. Supporting MP3 and WMA formats, there was no Ogg Vorbis support at the time of writing, but it’s flash updateable. If you’re a music hog, you might find 256MB demoralising, but there is a 512MB unit for $269. With line in, a microphone and FM radio, it’s a small package of goodness.
