How many times have you moved only to have them ripped out of your ears by the ridiculously long cords which tend to catch on everything? Wireless is the
Celebrating 120 years of Gibson, Aljon Go shows Jeffrey and Todd the superb Anniversary Edition of the Les Paul Standard. It's stunning both in the Ocean Water Perimeter finish, the level of detail and the technology built-in. The sound of the guitar can be changed to mimic the tone of your rock'n'roll hero and Min-ETune will tune the guitar automatically.

Moxytronix's CordCruncher earbud headphones are the latest attempt to defeat that bane of modern life, knotted and twisted audio cords.

The headphones come in a small pack, with three pairs of different-sized interchangeable earbuds. I would imagine that
