Gizmodo Gifts

For those that give a gift or two early, you may want to consider giving the gift of noise-isolating earphones. The receiver of said gift will appreciate it more than you think. What's the easiest way to drown out the non-stop ramble of relatives? Technology, of course, and Shure would be the company to take care of that. Shure is a solid manufacturer of noise-isolating headphones and offers a complete range of earphones in the SE series for music players and the I series for for mobile phones and music players. For gift-giving purposes the SE110 earphones, at $119, are the only reasonable option for most, but if you have the scratch, the SE530 at $500 would be the second coming of Jesus, in earphone form and would make the most obnoxious relative sound like silent angels.
