Thanko's strap with integrated earphones

Straps that feature integrated earphones are nothing new to us (see: iPod shuffle, Toshiba gigabeat), yet Thanko went ahead and decided to make them a product of their own. The "MobilePhone STRAP DESIGN EARPHONE" doesn't really have a whole lot to do with mobile phones, but does offer the "rest" of us a chance to suspend our portable audio players from our neck. It features a detachable buckle, key hook, and is available in red and black versions for around 1,780 yen ($15 USD) in Japan.

I think good idea, I carry my phone around my next everywhere anyway. This just makes having to keep track of my headphones redundant.

midnight, it wasn't. I had a cheap Chinese player a year or two before the N10 came out that had them.

I did know that, in fact, i had those for about three months or so, and they are as crappy as something other than manure can be.
