Eyeborg Lets Someone Who Can’t See Color Hear What Color Sounds Like
Imagine being born with a rare condition called Achromatopsia which makes you unable to see colors. If you had this colorblind condition in an extreme way, you'd only be able to see in black and white. Neil Harbisson has this, but he can see colors. Well, he can see them, but not with his eyes. He i ...
Wood Headphones Are A Refreshing Change (And You Can Burn Them)
There are so many fancy headphone designs out there, but they all pretty much look the same. They're boring really, and when I saw these wood headphones which are packed with technology, I instantly knew I liked them. Their rectangular shape and unusual style make these perfect for anyone who is tir ...
Retro Necktie Made With Real Cassette Tape Fabric That Can Play Music
Here at Bit Rebels, we are huge fans of the '80s cassette tapes. We've written many articles about how those old cassette tapes can be recycled and repurposed into new things that are artistic and sometimes even useful. I never knew until today that those tapes can be combined with polyester to crea ...
Navigation Glasses Allow Blind People To See Through Audio
I can't help but marvel over some innovators' ability to take technology and turn it into something almost otherworldly. We have seen examples of this many times here on Bit Rebels when we've featured gadgets almost too good to be true. We have featured quite a few helpful accessories over the years ...
DropShades: Next Generation Audio Driven LED Party Glasses
Technology can be used for a lot of different things. It's often times used to optimize gadgets, which make our lives a little bit better, or even worse. But there is another side to technology that we don't get to see very often these days. I am talking about the fun devices, solely created for no ...
3D Printed Record That Actually Plays Music On Ordinary Record Players
I remember a year ago when I wrote about the world's first Chocolate Record that plays music on an ordinary record player. At the time, I thought that was the neatest thing ever. I'd like to think I have grown a little and gotten a bit more sophisticated in the past year. Today I'd like to share wit ...
Podcasts & Why They Could Be The Future Of Entertainment Content
The future of much of our entertainment will undoubtedly be provided through online channels via the internet. Since this entertainment content is on demand, it makes sense that we would subscribe to it and then be notified when new content is available. We already have this system in place for podc ...

I have used Teufel audio products for five years now, and I associate excellent build and sound quality with the brand.

Audi’s Car Can Park Itself When You Use The Parking App [Video]
How would you like it if your car dropped you off at the door of your office and then drove itself around the parking deck to find a parking spot where it would perfectly park itself? After work, you could open your parking app on your iPhone again and activate your car. It would drive itself out fr ...
Animated Infographic Of Audio Formats From 1980 To 2010
If you know your gadgets, you know that the cool thing to have back in the '80s was of course the Walkman, or the Freestyle as some people called it. Listening to music on the go was the edgiest thing you could really do. However, in order to do that, you had to have a cassette of course. It was the ...
Tweet Speaker: Create A Live Podcast Of Your Tweets
If there is one limitation when using Twitter that I can think of, it's the fact that we can only engage with our friends and know what's going on by reading our tweets. I'm sure someone out there has probably developed a system for the vision-impaired to tweet, but there is nothing that is mainstre ...
North American Dialect Chart: Ya’ll Talk Funny
Lately, for whatever reason, I've been talking to more and more of my Twitter friends on the phone. One of the first things people usually notice when they talk to me is that I have a very southern accent (gimme a break... geez, after all, I do live in Atlanta). For some reason, that surprises a lot ...
Life Size Lego Helmet: The ONLY Way To Listen To Audio Books
As I stated in the beginning of my humble Twitter career, Lego is the solution to everything, and I live by that in a way. And no, I don't mean that I go around incorporating Lego builds to solve all my problems, even though that would be truly awesome. What I mean by that expression is that if ever ...
22,600 Watt Car Stereo Destroys Phone Book
There are a lot of cool and different kinds of technologies out there that will amaze you, but when it comes to sound, it's a different thing altogether. In my studio I have amplifiers and speakers that can handle up to 2,000 watts if necessary, but playing anything on that level would destroy many ...
Audio Gaming: Pew Pew Is Still Packing A Punch
I just love it when someone thinks outside the box for a change. We're already seeing all of these first person shooters packed up on the shelves at the game store. Do we really need another game just like the sequel before it? I mean, sure, it has better graphics and a better or different story ...
