While headphones do provide an immersive listening experience, music is made to be heard through a good set of speakers in a room. Movengine's AirCore OWH headphones are made to simulate that experience, and I recently got to give the things a try.

The keys on Clevetura's CLVX 1 macOS keyboard aren't just for typing – they're touch sensitive, so you can glide your fingers on them to control your cursor, like you would on a supersized trackpad.

A gorgeous solution to a common problem... This mesmerizing mechanical vise adjusts its shape to hold oddly shaped items still without damaging them, using a design first patented more than a century ago. It can also turn inside-out.

If the response to our article on the Tiruler is anything to go by, there's a lot of interest in folding-ruler multitools. The Pivot X is the latest to hit Kickstarter, boasting seven handy features in one CNC-machined stainless steel package.

Chances are you already need a steel ruler for your fixing and making tasks, so why not use one that can do much more than most? That's the idea behind the ten-function Tiruler, which packs a protractor, caliper, bubble level and even a wrench.
