You love showing off those designer labels – but not as much as you love getting them cheap. When you go to New York, you spend more time haggling with sidewalk vendors than gawking at the Statue of Liberty. Your keen sense of cheapness can sniff out a sweet knockoff deal through the grilling fajitas and the exhaust fumes of Tijuana. You’ve scoured every outlet mall from Tallahassee to Tacoma, on the hunt for factory irregulars that need a good home. Who cares if the lining falls out of that jacket before you even get it home? As long as the label is intact and prominently on display, it’s worth every penny.

When it comes to personal audio, though, you can knock off the knockoff-mongering. These Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for iPod give you the cache of the Bluetooth and iPod names, at a Logitech price. No, they aren’t actually made by Apple or branded iPod. However, they are white.

More importantly, they deliver a clear, interference-free signal over a 30-foot range thanks to the super-hot Bluetooth frequency-hopping technology. Enjoy full metal audio from your iPod even when it’s lodged firmly in a pocket, fanny pack, or bodily cavity. Just snap the included wireless adapter onto your iPod or iPod mini, place the ear cups around your head like so, and off you go – ‘Podding out the way the stars of stage and screen do, despite the vast discrepancy between your income and theirs.

The integrated headphone controls let you can adjust the volume, play, pause, or select tracks, and the batteries will run for up to eight hours on a charge. And while that big Logitech logo might not score you many runway points, we’re sure it wouldn’t be too hard to print the Apple logo onto sticker paper and cover it up.
