You know I have a special place in my heart for anything adorned with the beautiful gleam of Swarovski crystals, and I am quite an audiophile as well. So when I saw these gorgeous On Aura Tout Vu designed Sony headphones, I just had to share them with you.

On Aura Tout Vu has paired with Swarovski Crystallized again to make these beautiful crystal encrusted Sony headphones. On Aura Tout Vu is a member of the exclusive Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, along with other members such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy and others. The company is best known for outfitting Lady Gaga with some exquisitely eccentric clothing and jewelry.

On Aura Tout Vu has plated each set of these Sony stereo earphones with white bronze. The earphones are then encrusted with turquoise from the Swarovski Elements collection along with matching crystals and leather accents. The white earphones are garnished with white Swarovski crystals and Swarovski crystal pearls with exotic snake skin leather accents.

These babies are set for release in August and no prices hves been announced as of yet. You’ll be able to get these at these Swarovski retailers – SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED concept stores in New York, London, Shanghai, in-store at the Swarovski Kristallwelten in Wattens and at Swarovski Innbruck. They will also be available online at www.swarovski-crystallized.com Pretty flashy huh? Now these are headphones I wouldn’t want to leave laying anywhere.

Vivienne Tam has been no stranger to technology she has came out with her outstanding designs for Mp3 player, Clutch bag HP Mini and a Wireless mouse. Now she just released these striking in-ear headphones…

Monster has been positioning itself as a top-flight supplier of high-profile, celebrity-associated headphones, first lining up with Dr. Dre. When Dr. Dre released his ‘Monster Beats’ headphones last year, despite being a celebrity tie-in and being very expensive they had a certain legitimacy due to his producer status and they really did pack a punch, especially in the low end. And more recently tooling around with the likes of Miles Davis and Lady Gaga. She stated “The Heartbeats are so trendy they don’t even need to list the specifications on the website, they just boast they’ve got flat cables and are a great alternative to earrings.” (Hmmm…) Now the company is launching itself into the fashion world with new Butterfly in-ear headphones designed in conjunction with fashion designer Vivienne Tam. The patent-pending headphones tie in with the theme of Tam’s Spring 2010 fashion collection, sporting a light gold-brushed finish and butterfly images on the earpieces and cable slider.

Monster’s new “Butterfly” premium headphones sport a design that matches Vivienne Tam’s Spring 2010 fashion collection…and carry a price tag to match $199.95ea. from Monster.com

Polaroid recently announced a new initiative for their fading global brand, including signing a new, popular, and often-obscured face: Lady Gaga.

In a clear nod to a new generation and a new direction, Polaroid has signed a multi-year deal with Gaga, who will serve as the creative director and market a special line of co-branded products. Although no details were mentioned, the deal is almost certain to include advertisements featuring Gaga; as well as her doing crazy, Lady Gaga-esque things while representing Polaroid. She is scheduled for appearances at Polaroid’s booth at International CES 2010

Recently purchased out of bankruptcy by venture capital firms, Polaroid is seeking to reposition as a licensing company where it can find markets on which to utilize its brand value and global recognition. Polaroid is also bringing their instant camera line out of retirement with the release of the PIC 1000, an up-to-date version of their classic OneStep camera that will utilize their Color 600 Instant Film.

Once a major brand and concept in the photo industry, the appeal of Polaroid’s instant film cameras disappeared when better quality digital imaging became affordable. By agreeing to a deal with Lady Gaga, Polaroid is reaching out to a generation that may never have used an instant film camera. The pop singer enjoyed a remarkable year in 2009, selling over eight million copies of her debut album “The Fame,” with five of the singles reaching number one on Billboard’s charts.
