At only 3.9-inches long, you can take the monocular with wherever you go, so you can get a better look at things both far away and up close. It’s fogproof and is submersible for up to 16.5 feet too, so you can even use it to check out chicks at the beach marine life. The maximum 8x magnification can even be used from as close as 9.8-inches away by using the included close-up lens attachment.

You can get the Leica Monovid 8×20 Monocular at B&H for $500 (USD). For half a grand, you’d better have something worth having a closer look at. Like chicks at the beach marine life.

This new gadget out of Korea takes the kitchen sink approach to chilling out, combining all of the aforementioned techniques to get you to unwind.

The LTK-2000 Therapy Station starts out with 24 relaxing sounds in categories ranging from “concentration” to “therapy for depression” to get your mind off the din of your everyday life. Once your ears are soothed, a ring of bright blue LEDs pops out of the device to provide your eyes with a up to 5,000 lux of light therapy.

Once your eyes and ears are relaxed, your nose won’t feel left out, thanks to an array of herbal aroma cartridges which can pop into the top of the unit. If that’s not enough, the system also has a built in anion generator, which is supposed to help purify the air you’re breathing.

If this thing can’t help you to relax, you’re probably beyond hope. Now all you’ve got to do is figure out how to get one imported from Korea, and you’re all set. If you’re up for the challenge, you can find them for sale at Enfren for 378,000 KRW (that’s about $395 USD). There’s also a video of the device in action over on AVING.
