OSIM uCrown 2 rubs your head, looks like an electric chair appendage
You know, there are some things in life you never expect to do twice: get divorced, fall into the same puddle, write a post about scalp massagers. But here we are, looking at the OSIM uCrown 2 -- an AA battery-powered "soothing head massager" that will jingle your worries away while using "patented air pressure technology, vibration, magnetic therapy" and heat to make your cranium a warm and cozy place to be. We give it credit for looking less like it came from the set of Spaceballs than your typical fare, but quickly take it back because of the ridiculous asking price of $200 and the fact neither model is brave enough to wear the uCrown with their eyes open.
OSIM's iGoGo MP3 player / personal massager reviewed
Since you can't take your iJoy ZipConnect chair everywhere you go, OSIM has a portable solution to your "musical therapy" needs. Boasting a stylish enclosure and a pair of massage modules, the iGoGo DAP performed its therapeutic magic surprisingly well -- once the kinks were worked out, that is. Reviewers at CNET were quick to praise the uniqueness of the device, but didn't hesitate to knock the "disappointing monochromatic interface, meager 128MB of internal storage," and the complete inability to play back any format besides MP3. While you can add a few more playlists via the MMC slot, they would've preferred a more expansion SD / CF option; furthermore, the player only mustered about 7 hours of battery life with massage mode in full effect. The crew noted that the "massagers suffered from frequent connection drops," but when things went smoothly, they provided a "truly blissful and relaxing massage experience." Still, for over $400 the iGoGo sports too many archaic features to be considered a true contender, and if relieving stress is your primary concern, you may be better off spending that coin in a day spa.

OSIM iGoGo MP3 player and personal massager
Well, we never saw this coming. We bring you the OSIM iGoGo MP3 player with music synchronized massager. Yeah, that's right, massager. See, the iGoGo brings 128MB of on-board flash, MMC memory expansion, and two RF-controlled wireless massager units which knead the beat into your muscle. Yeah, it won't regrow teeth, but at least they throw in a few extra pairs of hydro gel pads just in case youGooGoo, dig? And if you're feeling fine now don't worry, the $404 price tag will certainly generate some spasms in need of a rub. [Thanks, spa_lover]
