Koss lip gloss earbuds

Awwww, ain't it so cute you just wanna puke? Koss is putting out a set of earbuds that is also a lip gloss compact. The Pop Gloss headphones will come in pink (of course), purple, blue and orange, with four "luxurious" lip gloss shades to choose from. According to Koss, these phones are perfect for "when sound is as important as appearance" because, you know (as Koss clearly does), appearance is usually what women are concerned with above all - functionality be damned! Then again, at $9.99 a pop, are we really gonna get a lot of sound quality out of these things, or are we just gonna have a really inconveniently messy carrying case for some cheap earbuds?

Okay, way too girly... it looks like something you would buy at a market or something. tasteful - not!!!

Probably cool for the first month. Then the stuff runs out and you have an messy case that you wont put the ear buds back into

I'd say the sound quality of those $10 earphones would match up about right with the looks of someone using those colors of lip-gloss... The marketing isn't that far off. ;-)

Koss' cheap stuff is surprisingly good; the $19 KSC-75 is one of the best headphone values I've ever seen.

I'm concerned that people will get makeup in their ears, though.

Wait, I'm not; that would be hilarious.
