Headphones used to be made only as a device to listen to audio files, to give you a good time when the day gets boring. Inventors only worried about the quality of sound output; at the most they may concentrate on making it smaller and a more comfortable fit. Whoever would have though the day would come when people would put on their headphones to look good? The Thanko headphones have cute, and morbid, designs on the head which makes you look as though you are wearing a great pair of earrings.

The headphones, Sounds Live Magnetic, have to be clipped onto the ear lobes and look quite comfortable sitting there. Each individual pair works on a frequency of 20Hz-25Hz and has a sensitivity of 100dB/mW. The pair will cost $19 in Japan; no clues yet on whether it is available anywhere else yet. Don’t try wearing this with your earrings on, and men may want to stay away from this snazzy piece.
