Here's a wireless headphone that doesn't use Bluetooth, or WiFi. What? Then how can it be wireless? How do I get music into my headphones wirelessly without WiFi or Bluetooth? Easy; you wear your music player – namely an iPod Shuffle right on your head. That right, listen to your iPod shuffle without the burden of cumbersome cables with the Monster iFreePlay cordless headphones. It had something called the exclusive iDock port that securely held your iPod shuffle in one of the earpieces while you listen. It offered easy access to all the shuffle controls, making it a breeze to play, pause, or skip songs without fumbling through your bag or pocket. But that was after a slight learning period. Because the iPod Shuffle mounts upside down into the iFreePlay headphones in order for it to connect through the headphone jack. But once you knew how to operate the controls in revers it was a great companion for walks or the gym, etc. The sound was pretty good, nothing astounding, but you weren't these only to listen to the music. And the price was a bit high for the quality. They were about $50 and they were from Monster. And this was roughly 8 to 9 years ago.

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos!
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.-
My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video! IMPORTANT: We'll just shower you with praise for your video if you live outside the US or Canada since we can't afford to send stuff outside of those two places. (Thanks for understanding.)
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

Letter of the week:
The mystery item in letter of the week is a sausage stuffer. I couldn't find an image of the exact one but I'm attaching one that's very close. If you Google 'vintage sausage stuffer' there are plenty of them. The sausage meat goes in the body and pressed down with a wooden plunger. The sausage skin is put over the smaller end. As you press the plunger the meat is pushed into the skin and it expands out. Then you give it a couple of twists every few inches to make the links.
Great show, keep up the good work.

KaZAM’s Blinki is a new take on balance bikes, basically mini-bikes without pedals. Blinki features LED ight inserts that blink and light up in an array of colors as kids master their balance and eventually learn how to coast along. Designed without pedals, the Blinki Bike allows young children to skip the training wheels and develop their balance before introducing pedaling, making the transition onto traditional bikes seamless. The KaZAM Blinki Bike features a super strong frame made of space age clear poly carbonate material that helps spread their lights. Kids can choose the color of their bike (handlebars, seat, rims), which is available in pink, purple, red and black. The frames on the pink and purple bikes also have a glitter effect. It comes with front and rear multi-colored LED light inserts,12" pneumatic rubber tires, and adjustable seat height and handlebars for the growing child. Additional flashing or non-flashing LED lights are available separately, so you can alternate colors. (6AA batteries are needed, but not included.) MSRP: $99. Shipping has started. Recommended Age: 2+
