The modern equivalent of the boombox. And as an added feature it really makes you look like a DORK!

I thought of ordering one but with even the slim possibility that the dork is included forestalled my hand.

Wait, wouldn't it be easier to just use conventional speakers? Plus, who would want the gunk from the ears of a stranger on the ends, which would either be transferred between unknowing users, of rub off on the wearers skin or clothes. YUCK!

Even at the best of times, earplug cords tangle. After one use, this thing would rival the "6 strings of Christmas lights tossed into a box" rat's nest.

Good point, Phideaux, maybe that's why the dork in included.

Best ever advert for bluetooth.

Not an item that will make Think Geek or the old Sharper Image type catalogs any time soon.

1. I don't have that many friends.
2. I don't WANT that many friends.
3. I don't want a majority of the friends I DO have to stand that close to me.

And I'm with Phideaux. The first thought I had was of the massive rats nest that thing will turn into.

My first thought was the ear wax thing like Rob. The standing close thing (puptenticle) a close second especially in cold and flu season. Also, head lice anyone? :shut:

My first thought was, it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster equivalent of the Papal Tiara.
