What It Is: A self-contained media center for music, movies, video games and web browsing.

Who It’s For: Anyone who wants to experience widescreen-style immersion but can’t get access to a forty inch LCD TV. It’s perfect for serious media-geeks who don’t want to bother their wives.

Why It’s Worthy: It’s compatible with just about any piece of hardware you can think of: iPods, DVD players, personal computers and console gaming systems. The interface is extremely easy to use, the digital sound and colors are crips, and though the “screen” literally sits inches from the eyes, there’s no fatigue or headaches even after hours of use.

Our Only Complaint: The visor is a little nerdy-looking, but if you’re a serious A/V addict, that shouldn’t get in your way.

Cost/Where to Get It: $499.99 (549.99 for a bundle with a portable rechargeable battery); headplay.com
