SonicGear Earpump S$30

From the creators who brought us the
Sonic Array and iBall, comes SonicGears (SG) newest addition; the Earpump. Sweet and succinct for a title where weve got a little insiders joke for our local SG brand, but hey, were up for anything that spanks of Madonnas Hard Candy colours Glossy Black, Apple Green, Metallic Maroon and Pastel Blueyou name it, they probably have it.
Samsung 2493HM LCD monitor S$899

Multimedia LCD monitors have been around for at least a year now,
Colorize your Boring Life
Arriving in a generic white packaging, although not head-turning upon first look, we gave it plus points for effort 3 extra ear plugs, a little storage snail bag and ample cord length. Did we mention, this earpiece also comes packed with noise isolating features? Plug-in with this comfortable earpiece and voila, you cant hear the screams your editor emits during final magazine upload.
but in all seriousness none have looked as cool as this 24-inch monitor from Samsung, which takes a lot of its styling cues, such as that piano black finish, from Samsungs AV line-up. And considering its all-around multimedia capabilities, the TV-like design makes this quite an attractive monitor for your bedroom or small study - something that can pull double duty as a computer screen as well as a TV. Physically, the incorporated stand of this monitor makes it initially look slightly imposing, especially compared to the standard 17-inch monitors that litter the T3 office! The stand enables users to very easily adjust the height and tilt of the screen for that perfect viewing angle, and itll even rotate 90 degrees for landscape view. Connectivity is via single ports for HDMI, DVI and D-sub, and theres a audio port for the twin stereo speakers hidden in the frame.

Who Said Pow-Wow?

When put to the test, we did feel its bass was a tad overdone, and the mid- and hi-tones were wrung out thin Still, with a price as attractive as this, this Earpump is plenty worth the dosh were shelling out for it. MW
Love Space-Age wannabe looks; gorgeous little snail bag, Cheep-Cheap? Hate Its overbearing bass

Very HD Friendly

With a screen resolution of 1,900 x1,200 pixels, this monitor comfortably handled the Full-HD video trailer of Will Smiths upcoming Hancock movie, and in fact, we also tried a direct HDMI connection to the JVC-HD6 camcorder we Rated on page 46 to let us view all the 1080p videos we shot during Singapore Fashion Festival. With 400 cdm2 brightness and a high 10,000:1 contrast ratio, our videos of the Victoria Secret show came out sharp and vibrant, and more importantly, in Full-HD detail! SC
