Perfect Match – Bang & Olufsen’s Colourful Earphones
For this Valentine’s Day why not spoil the one you love with a set of colourful Earphones from Bang & Olufsen?
Bang & Olufsen Earphones are designed to fit the individual ear and deliver unsurpassed sound quality; they are crafted from anodised aluminium and hard rubber, giving them both flexibility and robust durability: With conventional earphones much of the sound never makes it into the ear.

Each element can be manoeuvred up or down and side-to-side to ensure the perfect fit. In fact, these earphones are adjustable in so many ways, and so comfortable to use, you might end up wondering whether you are actually wearing them or not. Inside, they contain many of the same acoustic competences found in Bang & Olufsen’s larger loudspeakers, just miniaturised.
It’s High-Tech jewellery that is sure to be appreciated by your loved one, for they come with their own specially designed leather carrying case, as the perfect portable music partners for a leather-clad BeoSound 2* for many years to come.

Solve The “charger clutter” Problem & Reduce Power Consumption
Most homes now have five or more portable devices and each one comes with a different charger that we leave plugged in at various locations round the house.
The Universal Multi-Charger from One for All will charge up to three devices simultaneously, with no messy wires and an LED light for the individual charge slots.
Once each battery is fully charged, that slot shuts down automatically and the light goes out – so, as well as saving energy, you can tell the charging process is complete, without having to check the device display (which is often locked).

The Speed-e-card Offers Consumers Greater Control
A newly launched UK-based service gives cash-conscious consumers greater control over their finances, by-passing the banks with their often hefty overdraft charges and fees.
The Speed-e-card (a prepaid MasterCard) and e-bank account, gives the consumer many of the benefits of a traditional bank account and debit card – but with no interest charges or late fees – and no credit checks: The card can be used online or in shops, just like a normal credit or debit card, including abroad, meaning no more worries about having to change up Travellers Cheques. Once you have loaded funds into your speed-e-card account, you can then use the card to access this balance from either ATMs, or to make payments Online, via the free e-bank account and even set up standing orders from it, making it a viable alternative to running a traditional bank account. Because consumers can only spend the money they have on their card, they should never go overdrawn, enabling greater control over their money and no nasty overdraft fees! There is also the option to receive an SMS every time the prepaid card is used, so card-holders will know straight away if it is being used fraudulently.
Gary Miller-Cheevers from Speed-e-card says: “The Speed-e-card with its free e-bank account gives consumers greater control over their money, and the re-assurance that they will never pay charges and fees due to being overdrawn.
