worst headphones ever

japanese_cat_earphones

Lisa over at Boing Boing Gadgets just spotted these ridiculous furry cat ear headphones from Japanese gadget maker Thanko.

There’s not a whole lot to say about them, other than the fact nobody I know would never be caught dead wearing them.

blinkx-led-earphones

Okay, so LED-equipped headphones aren’t that useless, because as the video below shows, people can put it on when they’re jogging at night. But I’m sure the incessant blinking of the LEDs will tempt motorists to run you over anyway.

As its name implies, the LEDs in Blink headphones sync with the music being played,…

Someday we’ll have solar cells on our clothes, so we can charge our gadgets while we’re out in the sun. The cells would have to charge real quick though, because I work at home. Either that or get a job that requires me to work outside. Hmmm. Those cells had better charge quick.  For now…

the perfect unison’s wooden headphones

Perfect Unison Wooden Headphones

The headphone geniuses over at The Perfect Unison teamed up with the equally ill Dutch artist Parra to produce a limited edition of beautiful wooden headphones called The Perfect Unison x Parra. They probably ran out of creativity before they got to naming the thing. Anyway. How limited? They-only-made-50-of-it limited. How beautiful?

A few months ago my friend’s globetrotting father bought a pair Bose noise canceling headphones. The reason: he felt compelled to buy one after sharing one too many plane rides with Bose-wearing businessmen. Too bad he didn’t wait for these headphones from Ableplanet, because right now they are dirt-cheap.

How cheap? Vernons over at devicepedia…

zagg z.buds earphones give iphone owners a choice

Ever since the iPhone hit stores a couple of years back, I’ve been an addict. While the iPhone itself is a star, I’ve never thought all that much of the earbuds that come with it. Now iPhone cronies have another choice for listening to tunes and making phone calls.
