Hasta La Gadget!

These solid-looking, retro-styled headphones are made out of die-cast metal, leather and titanium by the California Headphone Company. They have a couple of cool features, on top of looking pretty good.

The Silverado headphones have a premium 40mm titanium driver, and 280-degree articulating hinges. The large, padded headband is contrast-stitched and the leather cups look like they’ll fit over your ears nicely. The 3.9-foot-long cord has a secondary female jack on the end, which allows you to share your tunes with a friend without missing a beat, and a knitted zebra cloth finish on them to reduce tangling. Frequency response is rated at 20 to 20,000 Hz and the impedance is 50 Ω.

The Silverados sells for $225.95(USD) and are available this month, and include a nice leather carrying case with a carabiner clip for attaching it to your bag. If the Silverados are too expensive for your budget, California Headphones offers a less expensive, yet equally stylish model – the Laredo – for just $99.95.

Are you ready to add a bit of class to your iPad? Then check out this sleeve from Defy Bags, which was handmade in Chicago. It’s a classy way of lugging around your iPad everyday, and it’s made to last for a very long time.

The Aesthetic Leather iPad Sleeve uses leather that was first chromium tanned, which make sit supple and durable. It was then retanned with vegetable tannins. It’s full grain, so it hasn’t been sanded, buffed, or corrected in any way to remove imperfections. Then, the leather was hand-rubbed with several coats of aniline dye and hand-glazed to give it its burnished appearance. All of that means it looks great and is handsome way to carry around your tablet.

This sleeve fits the new iPad or the iPad 2, with or without a Smart Cover, and sells for $150(USD) from Defy Bags.
