Guhhh is all I had to say. About this time last year, Nixon added a line of headphones to the accessories they currently offer. Older models included the Master Blaster, Nomadic, and the Wire earphones. But might I bring your attention to the Trooper, Nixon’s newest headphones. (It cost $50, btw) It’s collapsable and features custom on ear full size volume knob and a custom molded carrying case. They come in black, white, blue, magenta, and gray.

Get you some. Lol. Click here for the Nixon online store.

Today in NYC, Lady Gaga, joined by Dr. Dre, unveiled Heatbeats by Lady Gaga, the latest addition to the hugely popular Beats by Dr. Dre headphone family from Monster. I don’t understand why you need a press confrence for headphones, though they are pretty cute, but it was held at New York Palace Hotel in Manhattan with an overview of the success of Beats brand plus support from celebrities like Sting, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Ne-Yo, Soulja Boy, Black Eyed Peas, my girl M.I.A. and Jay-Z.

Explaining her motivation behind creating the headphones, Lady Gaga said:

In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things. I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. Wear Heartbeats, love each other and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music.

She also joked that “I wish I could force my fans to buy my [upcoming] album with these headphones because of the sound quality” to the media crowd about the aptly-named The Fame: Monster, a re-release of her debut album coming out in November. “The truth is, you can download a file, but you can’t download a lifestyle. These headphones are a representation of me; the headphones are what I believe my fans would love to wear as part of me.”

Heartbeats  are currently available for pre-order online at BestBuy.com and will be on-sale at all Best Buy stores from October 18. The basic model (not including ControlTalk) is $119.95, the basic model with ControlTalk is $149.95 and the “Haute Couture Ultra High Definition Headphones” will be $179.95. Well damn..
