At first glance, Split might look like a pair of handy dandy wireless earphones, but they’re more than that. They’re actually self-contained MP3 players that you can control without a display or buttons. Greenwing Audio definitely succeeded in making the most compact music players I’ve ever seen.

Earlier this year Sony released a pair of waterproof and tiny earphones that were also mp3 players. Today they announced two more versatile headphones called the WH Series, aka the 3-in-1 Walkman. These headphones also have built-in mp3 players, but you can also plug them into other media players as normal headphones.

Back when I had time to go to the gym one of the things that seemed to happen all the time was that I would end up getting the cord to my headphones caught on some of the equipment and jerk my iPhone right out of my pocket.

Using cassettes to create mixtapes was a fun time to spend an afternoon when you were a kid. There’s something oddly pleasing about this analog media format. Thankfully, if you’ve got a MakerBot in your shed, you can make a modern version of the mixtape, by 3D printing an MP3 player in the shape of a cassette.

Remember that Bond villain named Jaws? Maybe his teeth weren’t all about biting steel cables and whatnot. Maybe he was just listening to some tunes through his mouth. His evil employer might have just gotten this new gadget a few decades early.

MP3 players just keep getting smaller and smaller. I remember when I used to have the impression that these players would be the same size as the Walkman, so you could just imagine my surprise when I saw how small the iPod Shuffle actually was.

The first time I laid my eyes on Cell Mate Boris, I was immediately reminded of something my Philosophy teacher discussed back in University: Sisyphus. I can’t remember what it was that he did, but I’m sure it was something big and bad, because he was punished by the gods to roll a boulder up a hill for the rest of eternity.

One thing that always bugged me was when my iPod would run out of power while I’m on the treadmill or cross-trainer. Like a lot of people, I rely on a lot of upbeat music and my trusty workout mix to get through days when I just don’t feel like hitting the gym.

Hey did you hear the news? You know that chap Will Rockwell? The eccentric gentleman from America, whose house might as well be a factory for all the dreadful clanging and hissing and sparks and smoke coming out from any and every hole, you’d think he was fashioning a personal steamship – but I digress.

We spend a lot of money on our gadgets, so the last thing we want is for them to get stolen. One clever solution is to hide your expensive gear inside of something else.

This new mp3 player concept lets you play with its shape in order to come up with the icons that you need in order to control your music. It’s called the Play Mp3 Player. So basically, you have to fold the player in half, thus forming the icon ” ▶” in order to play your music.

I think George Lucas has now officially licensed the Star Wars brand onto every item in the universe. From trash compactor bookends to Darth Vader mint gum to Jawa garden gnomes. Now you can get your hands on a lightsaber MP3 player.

While Apple may have crammed everything but the kitchen sink into their new iPod Nano, one thing it doesn’t have is a haptic touchscreen. But this portable media player from Latte has one, and now it can be had for less than a single Benjamin.

Nature lover/not quite hip iPod owner Josh D shows us what Dremel and good taste can do. Josh D sent his iPod mini to a time way way way before retro by equipping it with a cedar wood case with brass screws and plates.

The rivalry between water and consumer electronics is one of the most legendary rivalries known to man. It’s right up there with Itchy & Scratchy, WOW & Life, Me & College. Recognizing the tragic state of affairs between two of man’s most beloved things, gadget manufacturer/ peacekeeper of non-living things Tokyoflash stepped in and gave us two gigantic candles that poop gray sludge.

Explosive modder Matt purchased some decommissioned test grenades and decided that it would make for a great MP3 player shell. So does it?  Yesno. Matt stuffed the innards of a 2GB Sansa Clip into the grenade.
