In stark contrast to the planned obsolescense that seemingly permiates our modern technology purchases, these ceramic speakers and subwolfer designed by Joey Roth are built to last. Avoiding plastic entirely (except in some of the electronic components), these speakers are constructed entirely from stainless steel, porcelain, and Baltic birch plywood. They feature a frequency range of 70 Hz - 20 Hz (the subwoofer clocks in at 40 Hz - 200 Hz), and feature flexible inputs, meaning you can connect them to any music device you wish, even a record player. These speakers are supremely stylish and would make a great addition to any multi-million dollar home.

For the hardcore Beatles fan in your life, consider The Beatles Stereo Vinyl Box Set. Featuring 14 complete Beatles albums on high quality 180-gram vinyl including A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, The White Album and more, this comprehensive set also comes with a limited edition 252-page book. It is important to note that these records were not pressed from the original masters, but from the 2009 remastered CDs; however, having all of these albums on vinyl and all in one place is well worth the asking price.

There's nothing more cozy than wrapping yourself in luxurious cashmere, so why would it be any different for you speakers? The Libratone Zipp speaker is a high-end portable speaker that allows you to stream music directly from you iOS device and/or personal computer. Although it was designed to work with Apple products (Look at it. Of course it was.), it will work with your PC too. Featuring their patented FullRoom Technology, the Libratone is completely wireless and even has handy app control, so no remote needed to feed music to your sweater-wearing speaker. Speaking of sweaters, you can dress it up to fit your mood with either their "funky" or "classic" color pack. Plus, if you buy one for every room in your house, it supports multi-room streaming, but you can always pick it up and move it around, because a speaker that appreciates fine Italian wool sweaters is just that awesome.

Most of us are perfectly happy using a basic, functional computer mouse, but people with more refined tastes might want to give Intelligent Designs' Titanium Mouse a look. It's grossly expensive for a peripheral that spends most of its time covered by the palm of your hand, but it's a sleek-looking thing.

Available in either white or black, you can nab yourself one of these babies from Intelligent Design's online store for €399, or roughly $520, plus shipping and taxes/import fees. Alternatively, you could skip the mouse entirely and just get yourself a touch-enabled tablet for roughly the same price. It sure does look pretty though, right?

Logitech has just announced the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810. That's a mighty fancy name for a keyboard, but I think this one deserves it. The K810 uses Bluetooth tech to switch between three devices simultaneously, meaning you can type on your PC, then switch over to type on your smartphone, and with the push of button, begin typing on your tablet. It's basically a universal remote for all of your communication devices. Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 is compatible with Windows, iOS and Android devices, but it's been designed with Windows 8 in mind.

Visually, the K810 is pretty slick with a slim, brushed aluminum frame. Thanks to auto-adjusting lights, your keys will stay visible no matter where, or when, you're working. It can even detect when your hands are about to touch they keys and will light up accordingly, which might be the coolest and creepiest feature yet.

One full charge will last up 10 days of battery life, which is great since this seems like a keyboard for people on the go, or people who don't want to get off the couch. You'll be able to test that battery, and device switching, for yourself later this month when the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 is released.

Cheap foosball tables are commonly found at skanky bars, the basements of frat houses, and the break-rooms of dot.com companies in 2002, but the foosball table you see above is for more refined gentlemen. Made by Restoration Hardware, this foosball table is crafted in Spain from electropolished steel and iroko wood. The table is designed for use as well as good looks; it works both indoors and out, and even allows you to level it with no hassles. It is the most beautiful mini-soccer table I have ever seen.
