HBO haa recently upped the stakes (sorry for the pun) in branded TV merchandise, by releasing premium price franchised products on their online store (http://store.hbouk.com). Shows such as Sex And The City®, Game of Thrones® and True Blood® have all been the focus of the merchandise treatment.
Just to let you know, if you don’t already, True Blood is HBO’s hugely successful Vampire centric soap opera. Currently in its Fifth series, the show is one of the network’s flagship programmes.
And today I am introducing the limited edition V-MODA True Blood® MAKER Headphones…

Fairsharemusic is a music download site with a fantastically self-less twist.
The site has over 13.5 million tracks, therefore giving you plenty of choice, and offers them for a standard 79-99p. So far, same old story.
But Fairsharemusic is far from your standard music download site - in fact, it donates HALF of its net profits to a charity of your choice!
Whether it be the NSPCC or Amnesty International, this generous company will give them your charitable donation. Fantastic, isn’t it? Fairsharemusic refer to this as “Feelgood Downloading” and I have to agree. When I was buying songs with the knowledge that someone in need was receiving help, I felt brilliant for it.
While using the site I found it relatively easy to navigate and I managed to find everything I was looking for. Yes, it’s not as easy downloading from iTunes straight onto your iPod/iPhone, but it is worth the extra time just to know that you aren’t lining the pockets of multi-millionaires, but instead some of you dosh is going to charity.
So, unlike the world’s biggest music sites, such as iTunes and Napster, this site has charitable causes at its heart. One of the main reasons for using the site is its two-fold benefits for you you as a user; you get great tunes and you help someone who really needs it.

I love these earphones! OK, so they’re not the most beautiful bits of tech you have ever seen, but you get a quality piece of kit for the price!
The Etymotic HF3’s are understated, comfortable and perfect for the most demanding audio connoisseurs. Using noise isolation these earphones offer a high-end experience at a rather reasonable price of £134.95.
Comfort
One of the overriding perceptions that people have of in-earphones, is that they are uncomfortable – this is certainly NOT the case for the HF3’s, as their soft and flexible ear buds provide a superbly comfortable listening experience. Due to their malleable form, they sit snugly in the ear canal and lodge firmly in place, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out.
As I have larger and more cavernous ears, the large buds suited my needs just fine. However, if you’re not jug eared like me, then there are diddy ones for you to wrap your lug holes around. The provided ear bud shapes also vary just to make sure they suit your needs. Furthermore, Etyomotic offer a service that provides users with customisable earplugs – just to make sure you are comfortable! - http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html
Sound
In terms of sound quality – the HF3’s score good marks, yet again! The speakers deliver crisp, sharp notes, which are a joy to listen to. The bass is relatively good for an in-ear headset, but sometimes suffers at higher volumes. But it has to be said, the audio quality is comparable to far more expensive headsets, if not better!
