I’d like to introduce you to a pair of unique headphones. The Inateck BH1105 Headsets:

One thing that you’ll notice right out of the gate is that these headsets are partially made out of wood. Why? It helps to produce the best quality sound. It also looks cool, but you don’t care about that. You care about how good they sound. Right? Well, they sound very, very good. The audio is very clear as long as you don’t crank up the volume too loud. The bass is so present, you may have to tweak your audio settings to lower it. They’re noise isolating which means that you can remove enough of the outside world to enjoy your music. To aid in this, you get three different sizes of silicone ear tips. Overall, you’ll be very impressed with these headsets as I was.

Downsides? It doesn’t come with a carrying case. It also doesn’t include a microphone. The latter is not a big deal in my opinion as you get great quality sound. Especially at the price that you have to pay which is $29.95 CDN which is a very good price for what you get. You can pick up a pair at Amazon.

Based in Germany, Inateck is a name that you’re likely not familiar with. But if you have a MacBook, you should get very familiar with them. They make a line of very unique and in my opinion, durable sleeves for MacBooks. The one that I am reviewing today is the MP1500 Macbook 15 Inch Case Cover. It comes in two parts:

The main sleeve fits your MacBook Pro. Now it’s designed for the Retina MacBook Pro, but it fit my non-Retina MacBook Pro just fine. Though it is a bit snug. It closes using a flap that has a velcro fastener. You’ll note that on the front of the main compartment is a smaller, slightly more shallow pocket for smaller items like documents or maybe a thin device like an iPad Mini. On the back of the case are two additional pockets. Thus this gives this sleeve some versatility.

The second part fits your power adapter. It fit mine with space to spare. It could fit other accessories such as a mouse as well. It closes using a elastic band.

The sleeve is made out of a durable, heavy felt, with a flannel lined interior. Everything is stitched together well and gives off an air of quality. Now one thing to note is that there is very minimal padding. But I think that there’s enough there that you could use it to transport your MacBook along with some gear like your iPhone and some documents. In my case, I used it to protect my MacBook Pro inside my main laptop bag. In either case, it won’t scratch your MacBook and it looks stylish.

Inateck’s products are available on Amazon for $23.99 CAD in a variety of colours and you can get it for 13″ and 11″ models as well. I’d recommend it to anyone who owns a MacBook Pro.
