These new SkullCandy Double Agent headphones are awesome because they directly read from an SD card, without the price of Bluetooth headphones or the need for an MP3 player. They hold any size SD card, feature a rechargable battery, come in three colors, and have side controls. How or why these were kept so low profile during CES, I do not know. But this is a neat piece of tech that makes good use of a simple idea. The Double Agent headphones are expected to ship in Spring 2008.

CES has had several surprises this week, and today is one of them as USB 3.0 cables have been spotted on the showroom floor. USB 3.0 has been talked about for awhile now and everyone has been waiting to see if the promise of blazing transfer speeds can take on the king that is IEEE 1394 (otherwise known as Firewire) 800. Well, the specs are in and USB engineers claim to have squeezed up to nearly 5 Gigs a second (about 600 MB realistically) in transfer speed. Not bad, that’s about twenty percent faster than Firewire 800 set a few years back. But the cool thing is that instead of turning off the entire port through the OS to conserve energy, the USB3’s system can detect a lack of use and cut the electricity portion of the plug all on its own.
