ipod earbuds for giants [speakers]
January 23rd, 2008 comments (4) stumble it! digg it! by: technabob
You’ve gotta love these speakers that look like giant iPod earbuds. Unless your last name Bunyon or your first name is Green, these jumbo earphones will have to sit on your desktop instead of in your ears.
Part of the new lineup of whimsical products from Fred & Friends, these gargantuan earbud speakers are sure to draw looks sitting there alongside your laptop. They get their 500XL moniker since they’re about 500 times the size of a pair of iPod earbuds.
If you just have to have a pair, you’ll have to hold your breath for just a little while, since pricing and a release date haven’t been announced yet. (You might want to check with Perpetual Kid, since they’ve been known to carry much of the Fred line).

I really like the idea and they look cool. In fact, most people I know really hate the standard earbuds, so this is probably a huge step up.
It’s an innovative yet simple idea. Just making a larger version of normal earbuds could really make them stand out. I wonder how it sounds like.
I had this idea in 2005, Fred&Friends knew this and produced 500XL in 2008, I did not receive credit nor payment! http://www.mixko.co.uk
If that’s really the case, it sucks. I’m not sure you have any recourse.
If it’s any consolation, I do love your Joystick candle design, and featured it here on the site a while back.
