Usually, if you’re building your own synthesizer, you have aspirations of composing the next great techno track. But this kit—available from the Maker SHED for just $20—lets you build a wonderful toy ray gun that generates electronic "pewpew" sound effects. And, instead of just cycling through various sounds like you would with a cheap toy, you can use the gun’s three adjustable knobs to tweak the wub, bwoop, and bip bip sounds however you like.

The folks over at LG Electronics have just announced the most recent version of the popular Bluetooth stereo headset, calling it the LG TONE ULTRA – or the HBS-800 if model numbers are your cup of tea. The LG TONE ULTRA would arrive chock full with features, and it will definitely look set to bring listeners to greater heights as it succeeds its predecessor, the LG TONE (or the HBS-700/730), which was also a top-seller in its own right with over 2 million units sold ever since it was introduced in 2010.
The LG TONE ULTRA was specially developed to target a superior audio experience that boasts of eyebrow-raising stereo sound. Thanks to the adoption of noise reduction technology that they have called ambient noise cancellation (ANC), the LG TONE ULTRA is able to block out background noise, so that you, the listener, will be able to enjoy 100% focus on the music or conversation itself without any external distractions. Not only that, it also comes with an ergonomic 3D Neck Behind design that can be found in previous models, and it has also picked up a 2013 Red Dot Design Award that truly recognizes its ergonomics and aesthetic appeal. Expect it to arrive before the year is over in various regions worldwide. [Press Release

Razer, a trusted name when it comes to high performance gaming hardware, is back with a new pair of headphones for the masses. It is known as the Razer Kraken Forged Edition, where it is made out of machined aluminum and delivers killer sound, making this an ultra premium pair of headphones which was specially designed for music and gaming. Sporting crafted ear cups which have been machined out of aircraft-grade aluminum, it will also come finished with a matte texture, and all of it has been carefully hand-assembled to make sure that build quality would be able to match the premium looks and guts.
The Razer Kraken Forged Edition would feature 40mm bass-heavy drivers that deliver perfect audio, in theory at least. This allows the neodymium pair to play nice with the headphone’s acoustic chambers, while the isolated closed ear cup design should ensure that thumping bass is delivered every single time, not to mention accompanied by the likes of clear mids and crisp highs. You can wear it for a length of time without feeling uncomfortable or literally, the heat, thanks to its plush leatherette ear cushions that line the ear cups. You can place your order now as it should arrive in time for Christmas, where it will retail for $299.99 or €299.99, depending on which continent that you live on. [Press Release]

Classic SEGA Consoles Show up on iPhone Cases, Chargers and Bluetooth Speakers
Posted in: Today's ChiliWhile I prefer to carry playable SEGA Genesis games in my pocket, I suppose the next best thing is to carry a bag full of gadgets that look like SEGA consoles, right? Thanks to this new line of mobile gadget accessories you can.
Tommo Mobile recently unveiled a line of iPhone cases which look like the Sega Genesis, Mega Drive, Saturn and Game Gear (where’s my beloved Dreamcast?) In addition to the console cases, they’re offering a couple that look like the Genesis and Mega Drive controllers too. It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but these aren’t just flat skins, they’re actually contoured to replicate the dimensionality of the systems they’re based on.
Each case fits the iPhone 5 or 5S and includes a SEGA-themed screen protector as well. They’re also offering up a couple of powerful battery chargers with SEGA themes, including Genesis and Saturn designs. Each one offers a large 9000mAh battery, which should provide plenty of juice for your mobile devices.
Last, but not least, there’s the SEGA Genesis Bluetooth speakers, which offer stereo sound and a look that yet again complements the Genesis console. It’s too bad that the original Genesis doesn’t have Bluetooth wireless audio.
All of the SEGA mobile accessories should be available by the end of the year. The iPhone cases sell for $24.99(USD), while the Power Partner batteries go for $69.99 and the Bluetooth speaker is $89.99. Keep an eye out on Amazon to pre-order.
