When it comes to audio quality, it seems that people may have different preferences. This can become more obvious through choice of headphones. While a certain set of headphones may do for one person, it might not be that sufficient for the other. This is primarily the reason why Sony has recently launched a new XBA series of headphones, set to cater to the different audio quality needs of its customers.

Yes, this is another iPhone 5 speculation report, but this time with a little bit of credibility. Case-Mate accidentally(?) posted product pages of iPhone 5 cases like this one before pulling them out and replaced them with a single landing page.

You can find iPhone docks everywhere, but not so much iPad docks. Sony has recently announced two new models that work with the iPhone and iPod Touch, one of which can also play with the iPad.
