Cordless Personal Massager

There is nothing quite like having a lovely massage after a particularly long day at work, but sometimes, your other half is unable to press all the right pressure points despite you giving verbal directions, and your limbs are not that flexible as that of a gymnast and neither do you have the kind of superpowers that Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, has.

I guess this would mean it is a case of “if you want something done, you have got to do it yourself”, and this is where the $39.99 Cordless Personal Massager comes in handy. It is said to offer flexible spot-on relief alongside cordless freedom, thanks to the clever use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries within.

The Cordless Personal Massager is said to be of the ideal shape, where it is comes with a medical-grade silicone massage head that not only feels smooth but is also soft against your skin. Despite doing its bit to soothe away the day’s aches and pains, it will go about its job in a quiet manner, thanks to an extra quiet and powerful massage motor.

You will be able to choose from a quartet of programs – namely Soothe, Pulse Low, Pulse High, Energize, with different intensity levels to boot. Just to make sure that it does its bit to conserve energy whenever possible, the Cordless Personal Massager will shutoff itself automatically after 20 minutes. [Via]

Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard

For those of you who tend to do a whole lot of typing in your line of work, surely you would know that there is nothing quite like a responsive keyboard with fantastic tactile feedback. Having said that, those projected keyboards are novelty devices that are unable to beat the real deal when it comes to churning out those reports as requested by the upper management.

Single folks can just give this particular story the once over, or skip it altogether as they do not have to deal with typing in bed or in the bedroom while your partner is doing his or her darndest best to fall asleep. What you need is definitely something that works great as a keyboard, but is whisper quiet. The candidate to fill this pair of shoes would be the new Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard.

With the introduction of the Das Keyboard Quiet Mechanical Keyboard, it would mean that Das Keyboard’s popular range of high-performance mechanical keyboards has just gained another family member, where it is said to be able to reduce audible feedback to a minimum without sacrificing on performance. In fact, it claims to deliver one of the best tactile experiences.

This latest newest member of the Das Keyboard family will boast of Cherry MX Red key switches that are combined with a new Quiet Key Design. In a nutshell, it would require far less force to actuate keys, where we are looking at 45g instead of 55g to 60g for majority of the keyboards out there, and users would then end up with a softer, more tactile and “whisper quiet” typing experience.

Daniel Guermeur, creator of the Das Keyboard and CEO of Metadot Corporation, said, “Professionals who use modern communication tools like Skype, GoToMeeting, Google Hangout and other means to interact during the workday need a quiet keyboard during their calls to help reduce background noise and distractions. People working in open space environments have expressed the same need.

The growing demand for a keyboard that could deliver such an experience is what motivated us to design our newest product. The Das Keyboard Professional Quiet is the total package, delivering outstanding tactile feel and a whisper quiet typing experience. ” You will be able to pick up the $149 Das Keyboard Professional Quiet in the following layouts – US, UK, German and Nordic.

Shure SE846 Sound Isolating Earphone

As I type this, I am sitting in an Airbus A320, cattle class, typing on a Dell XPS 12 and realizing that my arms have hell to pay when I touch down in an hour’s time simply because there is just not enough space to type properly, but work still needs to get done.

To make matters more uncomfortable as they already are at the moment, there are a couple of ladies in the opposite row who have not stopped yakking – and yakking loudly, too, for the past hour. Who would have thought that they have so much to talk about, in addition to letting the rest of the world know of their family issues and problems? This is where the Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone would certainly come to my aid.

The Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone sports a patent pending design that boasts of a low pass filter in order to deliver a true subwoofer experience, even when you are on the go. Thanks to the inclusion of a Quad High-Definition MicroDriver with a three-way system configuration that has been dedicated low, mid, and high frequency distribution, your ears will be able to experience deep low-end performance without having to sacrifice on other important aspects such as clarity or detail.

The Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone has been specially developed for professionals and audiophiles, where it will extend the legendary heritage and performance of Shure’s widely-adopted SE215, SE315, SE425, and SE535 Sound Isolating Earphone models. The SE846 is said to offer strong, impactful bass, allowing the midrange and high frequencies to shine individually.

Not only that, the natural roll-off of the subwoofer also allows the tweeter and midrange drivers to have the amount of acoustic space necessary so that they can be heard clearly and accurately. Each purchase of the $1,250 (yes, it is expensive) Shure SE846 sound isolating earphone will come with a two-year limited warranty, where shipping is set to commence later this June. [Via]

Self Balancing Electric Unicycle

Since Father’s Day is around the corner (all right, so it is sometime in June, but it never hurts to be prepared in advance) and you are sick and tired of thinking of the perfect gift as dad already has numerous ties, shoes, vests, cufflinks, belts, and leather wallets. Is there nothing out of the ordinary that you can give dad to bring a smile to his face? A luxury watch might be a good idea, but it is not unique.
\
Enter the $2,700 Self Balancing Electric Unicycle, where you might have visions of grandeur of Tony Stark’s briefcase suit, as this is a briefcase-sized electric unicycle which allows one to be perfectly balanced at all times thanks to the help of gyroscopic sensors. The Self Balancing Electric Unicycle is suited for both urban commuting as well as suburban recreation, where all you need to do is just to stand on its two folding feet pads.

The integrated gyroscopic sensors will be able to detect a rider’s subtle feet movements, all the while taking into consideration a shoulder-slung backpack or bag for its center-of-mass calculations. All you need to do is grip the handlebar and lean forward, resulting in a steady acceleration without jolting, and if you want to slow down or stop, just lean backward.

Turning is a snap, where you control it with side-to-side balance and turn around with subtle leaning. The unicycle will be powered by a 500-watt electric motor that can propel a 160-lb. rider up to 13 mph for two hours, and it will take a three-hour charge to juice up its integrated lithium ion rechargeable battery. It certainly seems like a dream ride to have, and I do wonder about the requirements to ride this in public. Urban commuters would definitely find this to be a boon, especially when your destination is just a few blocks down the road. [Via]
