Hasta La Gadget!

I don’t know why, but getting gobbled up by this plush monster looks more comfy than scary. This chair was created by Jason Goh and was inspired by a story his grandmother used to tell him about how fish balls would turn into a giant hairy hungry monster if he didn’t eat them up. Needless to say, that if I was a kid and heard that, I’d probably gobble up my fish balls as well. Mmmm. Fish balls.

The Moyee Monster Chair actually looks pretty comfortable to me. While it might not be suited to you if you are claustrophobic, it will provide you with a bit of privacy. The lush interior will also allow you to curl up in a fetal position and relax. The interior also has built-in mood lighting, and bottom is weighted so it won’t topple over when you sit inside of it.

I wonder if and when Jason will produce these one so I can get one for myself.

And if you’re wondering what fish balls are, they are round balls made up of ground up fish that are usually served in a broth, and are quite popular in Asia.

Today at CES, Monster announced a partnership with EA Sports and revealed the MVP Carbon headset. We ended up getting our hands on the new product at Monster’s booth at Pepcom, and got a close up look of the new design. The headset features 5.1 channel surround sound processing that Monster refers to as HDHS, or “High Definition Headphone Surround.”

The gaming headset is compatible with PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and the Wii U. Monster says the MVP Carbon represent the company’s introduction into gaming accessories, so we’ll no doubt see them move further and further into that realm. Aside from the HDHS, the new headset contain powerful 30mm drivers.

There’s an integrated microphone that’s also detachable via 3.5mm headphone jack, and can be used for voice chat naturally. Much like offerings from Turtle Beach and Astro, the Monster headset also includes a standalone headphone amplifier, which the company is calling the Gamebox. As you can see from the photos, the headset is plastered with the EA Sports logo on either side.

And as the name suggests, the headset is lined with a carbon fiber vinyl around the outside of the headset, and the ear cushions are surprisingly soft, suggesting that hardcore gamers won’t have a problem with them during marathons. The MVP Carbon headset is slated to be available in both black and white starting in February 2013 for a steep $269.

Noel Lee, the “Head Monster”, shows us the Genesis before handing them over for a quick ears-on

Monster produces a ton of cool headphones, but the Genesis is the latest wonder-baby of the company. Monster classifies the Genesis headphones as being an ultra-premium headphone design that will surely give Bose and the like a run for their money. The Monster Genesis is an active noise-cancelling headphone that has a very sturdy design, but it was also lighter than one may think. That’s what I really like about the Genesis: the blend between high-quality audio and industrial design, but not at the price of additional weight on my head. I’ve tried other high-end headphones, and many of them are just too heavy for a daily use – even if they all feel incredibly solid. (more…)

The weather will soon get ugly and the temperature could drop to brutal lows this winter. Reflect the ugliness of it all by donning these freaky winter masks by Brutal Knitting aka Tracy Widdess.

You know how some things are so ugly that they end up looking pretty good? Well, I guess you can say that applies for these masks because they look absolutely freaky but they’re strangely all very appealing.

Expect people to give you funny looks or stare at you when you’ve got one of these masks on. But at least they won’t know who you really are, so if you spot someone you know, feel free to walk on by. You might actually end up freaking them out if you say “Hi!” anyhow.
