Philips & O'Neill Announce Refreshed The Stretch Scratch, The Bend Headphones

It's that time of the year again where Philips are refreshing their line of super flexible and durable line of headphones. Philips has announced at IFA of a newly refreshed pair of headphones called The Stretch Scratch, which are over-ear headphones featuring the same good old TR55LX headband that is super flexible not even Snooki can break. We've reviewed the very first model of Philips O'Neill mashup that are The Stretch headphones a while back and can attest to their super durability and great sound quality. The new The Stretch Scratch headphones are said to have 40mm drivers for deep bass and clear dynamic sound quality and anti-tangle, detachable cables.

With that, Philips has also released another pair of headphones called The Bend. The Bend are on-ear headphones with 30mm drivers that deliver deep, dynamic bass inside a super tough construction with a headband made from the same exact materials used to make snow goggles for that extra toughness. Toughness and durability seems like the most important aspect to Philips in their line of headphones. Both the The Stretch Scratch and The Bend headphones will be available in various different colors. No release date or pricing has been announced as of yet.

Griffin Outs Explorer Case for iPhone 4

In the wake of Griffin's Survivor cases being released, the Explorer is part of Griffin's Armored line of tough cases for the Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4, iPad 2 and the iPod Touch 4G. It took a while for the Explorer case to come out even though it was already advertised on the Survivor case packaging along with the unreleased Tracker case, also a part of the Armored series. The Griffin Explorer case for the iPhone 4 is suitable for those who are not looking for the ultimate military-spec proven protection that the Survivor case has to offer. The Explorer is relatively built in the same way as the Survivor with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate inner frame and a durable, flexible outer silicone jacket for shock absorption.

Built-in Port plugs tuck in to keep dust and dirt out of the iPhone 4's dock connector, camera lens, audio port and speaker openings. The only exclusion setting the Survivor apart from the Explorer is the built-in screen protector and a bit more silicone to go around. The Explorer case for the iPhone 4 is available now in black and pink for $39.99, and comes with an included belt clip.
