Shiny review: Etymotic hf2 in ear headphones

I've been using these for a while and am so impressed by the sound quality and the amazing contoured ear buds that I just had to share my experience with you. I'm quite pernickety when it comes to headphone as I have quite a large criteria that's normally very difficult to fulfill, but the hf2's…

Hello Kitty helps you slim with the Slendertone clone

Are you still carrying a couple Christmas pounds? I know I am, and as it's nearly Feb (with the dreaded Valentine's day looming), I feel like I should get my arse into gear. And naturally, being the queen of the couch, I'd like a quick fix rather than putting in time at the gym. Well…

The MP3 player that's disguised as a USB drive

At first glance the Kana Micro Digital audio players look like a bunch of run of the mill USB drives. Upon closer inspection, they still look like a bunch of USB sticks. But as you've probably construed from the title (and the first sentence), they are in fact MP3 players assuming the guise of USB…

Shiny Preview: Philips Cinema 21:9

I maintain that when it comes to televisions, you don't know what you're missing until someone points it out to you. I feel a bit like that with the new Philips 21:9 - I was perfectly happy watching my movies with black bars at the top and bottom, but after seeing them fill the screen…

The Stylophone makes an oddly shaped come back

If the return of Rolf Harris in those Churchill adverts (not quite the high calibre of celebs in Norwich Union ad) has instigated a yearning sense of nostalgia, you might want to wave your hands in the air (like you just don't care), as the Stylophone has just made a triumphant and peculiarly shaped return…

The customisable Valentines Day case puts you iPhone in its element

As we all know, the iPhone is *very* precious cargo. One drop and all functionality could be ruined forever. So if your girlfriend treasures her iPhone almost as much as she loves you, you might want to think about getting her a super-impact resistant and stylish Element case, in this eye-catchingly conspicuous pearlescent pink, Valentines…

Jeeves and Wooster in handy lamp format

With the insane popularity of Stephen Fry on the internet, it's surely time that Jeeves and Wooster saw a revival. These hats are in fact called Jeeves (the bowler hat) and Wooster (the top hat) so perhaps it could start there. I'm not entirely sold on which room these would be most appropriate for, but…

Knomo's new Carnaby range is patent-tastic!

We're a big fan of stylish laptop bags here at Shiny, and Knomo tend to top our list for merging functionality with style. Their latest Carnaby range is perfect for the tumultuous spring weather, as they come in an array of black and brown patent and leather finishes. They're designed to look like fashionistas' handbags,…

Sony Ericsson's W715 Walkman phone's pledges allegiance to Vodafone

If there's one company really looking out for discerning mobile phone users or all breeds of mobile phone customers, it's Sony Ericsson. So, the battle between Nokia and Sony Ericsson rages on with the announcement of the Sony Ericsson W715 slider Walkman phone, which (probably hasn't gone unnoticed) looks and sounds remarkably like the W705…
