Motz Wooden FM Radio
For some unknown reason we all tend to get overly excited when normal everyday devices are made tiny. I have no idea why, but they’re just cooler when they’re miniature. This wooden FM radio even has an itty bitty antenna attached to it to pick up your favorite stations. Not only does it happen to be small, it also fulfills that need to own gadgets that are made out of wood.

CS40 EarPollution headphones from iFrogz
I don’t know why iFrogz calls its headphones series Ear Pollution, because doesn’t that imply that it is harmful to your ears? This would be the one time that you don’t want to heed the toxic symbol on each ear, because the CS40 puts out some quality audio.
However, the CS40 Comfort Series is aptly named as the headphones are quite comfortable to wear. They are not only lightweight, but well-padded as well. The rubber cups and headband cradles the user’s head quite well, and can be used for hours without feeling any strain.
In addition to being comfortable, the CS40 is also convenient. If you look closely at the picture, you can see the the earpieces are on hinges. This allows the user fold up the ear cups and gives the headphones a more compact traveling size.

Wireless Page To TV Magnifier
As we age, our health often starts to deteriorate in a progressively worse manner. Well, apart from our body system start going bonkers, most of us will also have issues with our eyesight especially if you love reading Coolest Gadgets on a mobile device wherever you are. Enter the Wireless Page To TV Magnifier which is pretty self-explanatory, although there is a more apt description on what it does from the product page here below.
As easy to use as a computer mouse, this device scans written materials and sends them wirelessly to your television set in real time, magnifying them up to 25X for easy viewing of fine print. The wireless magnifier’s bright 655 x 488 pixel handheld scanner picks up every detail of a picture or every letter of a word and transfers data to its base station (that plugs into your TV) which then sends it to your television screen with a bright, easy-to-read 2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ field of view. Magnification ranges from 10X on a 14″ TV to 28X on a 32″ TV.
Guess a TV larger than 32″ might just end up with more jaggies, so don’t throw away that old 32″ just yet even if you decide to upgrade to one with more real screen estate, eh? The $149.95 Wireless Page To TV Magnifier would find good use for that older piece of tech.
