Marley Legend

The House of Marley’s Legend ear buds are made from aluminium and FSC certified sapele wood detailing, finished in what the company calls ‘regal silver’.
The ear buds come with five sizes of buds for a snug fit that remove unwanted outside noise without discomfort. A specially designed anti-tangle cord helps to reduce the build-up of static.

Price: £199


Zim

3D printers are almost ready for mainstream acceptance but, Makerbot aside, there are precious few ways to get it inside the home.
Zeepro Inc’s Zim Kickstarter project aims to change that by making not only an affordable 3D printer, but one that builds on existing technology by being the first to feature a dual colour printing head. More surprising are the Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, onboard micro-camera, smartphone and tablet control, and an exclusive refillable cartridge system.
It’s fundraising target is $300,000 and at time of writing had made about a quarter of that in four days. Watch this space.

Price: tbc ($599-$899)
