We put you on to SOL (Soundtrack of Life) Republic’s affordable and fly headphones a couple weeks ago. One of the more exciting things that were mentioned in the story was SR’s plan to release additional colors and interchangeable parts to their headphones. Today they announced the first color headphones they will be bringing to the market. The The red on-ear tracks will be available in the coming weeks at Best Buy for $99.99.
50 Cent’s just released this promotional clip challenging consumers to test the toughness of his SMS Audio Headphones vs. the leading competitors. They look good from what we’ve seen, once we get our hands on a pair we’ll let you know how they sound.
P.S. Turn the iPhone sideways when you record videos people, sheesh.
SOL (Soundtrack of Life) REPUBLIC headphones officially launched late last month with the goal of bringing quality headphones to the masses at an affordable price.
SOL Republic jumps into the game with a decided advantage over the competition courtesy of former longtime Monster Cable executive Kevin Lee. Lee was very instrumental in the creation and success of the Beats by Dre line and has turned his experience into a product for true music fans.
The line, which ranges in price from $59.99 to $150.00 features Amps in-ear and on-ear headphones and Tracks on-ear headphones. Both models have an HD option. The higher-end Tracks feature a one-piece adjustable FlexTech polymer headband (making it nearly unbreakable), removable ear cups and detachable/replaceable cables.
We’re not sure how or why headphones would ever be a fashion accessory but just in case that’s your thing the new line will soon feature swappable headbands, speakers and cables in various colors and designs allowing you to personally stylize your music game.

Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s mega-succesful Beats by Dre franchise has hit the jackpot. The company entered into a partnership with HTC Corp. worth a reported $300 million. HTC will begin rolling out mobile devices in fall equipped with Beats technology.
Though HTC owns a reported 51% of the company as a result of the partnership, Beats Electronics will continue to operate autonomously.
Check out this video HTC posted to hype up the partnership:

When 3D TVs first came to the market one of the things that made no sense to us is that every manufacturer had their own 3D glasses (not to mention the aftermarket ones). That problem may soon be alleviated as the top 3D display companies have banded together to create what they believe will be an industry standard.
Panasonic, Samsung,Sony and X6D Limited (XPAND 3D) have announced their plan to collaborate on the development of a new technology standard for consumer 3D active glasses, under the name, “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative.”
Without getting into to much technical jargon, the companies have agreed to make a standerdized pair of glasses that utilize RF (radio frequencies) that will work with TV’s, PC’s, 3D Theatres and projectors.
The license of today’s newly announced Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative should hit stores next month at which time the development of new standardization-applied active 3D glasses will begin. Universal glasses with the new IR/RF protocols will be made available in 2012, and are targeted to be backward compatible with 2011 3D active TVs.
With everyone rocking expensive rapper endorsed headphones, iHome is flipping the script with a pair of cans that look like something fresh out of a 70’s flick. The SD63 Retro-Style Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones have the look of the past with the sound of today.
Two of the cooler features that we like are the rotary volume control on ear cup and the swiveling ear cups for single-sided or freestyle monitoring (perfect for DJ’s). The SD63’s are available here for $49.99.
While this isn’t exactly new (TomTom had the Vadar voice last year), it is still cool that Garmin GPS users can now be directed through the universe by Darth Vadar. Not only does the Sith Lord breath and spit random quotes there are also Special Star Wars sound effects, music and graphics that come with the $12.99 bundle. You can cop it here.
