Pop starlet Lady Gaga has followed hot on the heels of Dr Dre and launched her own line of headphones. The Heartbeat headphones might not help you master your poker face, but they certainly can’t hurt if you’re trying to block out the paparazzi.

Gaga says, "Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that sound matters. Wear heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music."

All of which is very nice, but it might also be handy to know that tech types have also lauded their sonic clarity and pounding bass.
