I love this. Not because of what it is, but because of what it means. There was a time when headphones were about sound. They were about listening to things you wanted to hear. Then they became about fashion. There's been a lot of branding about headphones of late - whether or not you had the right logos on your ears. With these? It's no longer about the sound, it's about looking ridiculous. That, to me, means that the artifice is about to crash. We may end up with headphones that sound again soon. And if we have to make a bunch of emo fruits look like anime furries, that's just icing on the cake.
