Photo_Designer writes "After hacking my first pair of headphones to accept an iPod Shuffle, I just couldn't keep my hands off my other set of headphones and hacked an iPod shuffle adapter inside them, too. This version also includes an all-new expansion jack which allows sharing your music on the go, plugging your Shuffle into a stereo with a patch cable (without removing it from the phones), and also allows the headphones to be used as regular phones with the shuffle removed or turned off."

I... by matticus · 2005-03-21 00:35 · Score: 4, Funny

I can't help but laugh at how funny people would look wearing headphones tethered to each other's ears. Is this a new trend? Love will bind us together, and also our headphones?
iPod in the headphones? by EvilCabbage · 2005-03-21 00:36 · Score: 4, Funny

Apart from bashing me in the side of the head, and making it essentially impossible to interact with the volume or track selection without taking them off, are there other bad points I'm missing in this?

  You get the walk down the street, singing along with headphones that don't appear to be plugged into anything!

Thats looks pretty useless...no easy access to controls and the comfort of a plastic stick to your ear blocking the headphones.. Looks like a great time waster though.. Next up, he will mod a Mac mini into his beard, which will then monitor the bacteria accumulation in it and send an email when it's time to take a shower..

I know I'm only a girl, and therefore stereotypically bad with tools, but isn't a ground down screwdriver called an awl?

  I've never done any time, but I thought it was called a "shiv"

  With the added bonus that you can sometimes get it back right away in the same thread. :)

No need to demolish perfectly useful equipment for small parts (3.5mm stereo jack) any more my friend...

Just buy a few from Digi-Key and be set for life!

The new iPhone Shuffle from Apple - randomly dials numbers from your contact list when you go to make a call.

Hmm, useful.

I already do that, but my headphones really don't have any music...

Shufflephone 3.0 by iNatrix · 2005-03-21 09:30 · Score: 2, Funny

Apple and Cingular have merged to produce the new Shufflephone. When set on shuffle I found myself reconnecting with old friends I forgot were in my phonebook.
