OBO Pro2's EH-W112 wooden earbuds

If those JVC wooden cans were just a bit too big and bulky for your noodle, then check these wooden buds, bud. Other than the EH-W112 model number, there's just not a lot of detail to share. Oh sure, we know all about Japan's obsession with the acoustic properties of hard liquor and wood. And of course they'll look great with your PC or Mac eco-case or full-on Legnatile laptop. Still, the fact that OBO Pro2's got some wood and two mysteriously placed balls for your pleasure seemed important enough to share. What?

These look like plugs alright, but not the kind that go in your ear!

Thankfully, it appears that iPod earbuds were used as the design inspiration for these wooden earphones, because we all know that the iPod pack-ins set the industry-setting-standard for extremely comfortable listening equipment.

Kudos OBO, Kudos.

What's with the Ben Wa balls? I don't even want to know how far those AVING guys went with their "review"...

I bet that kid that got zapped from the gods above, wish he had some non-conductive headphones. sorry.

The small ball is probably the equivalent of that little plastic sleeve that controls the earphone spread on the Apple iPod earphones. Don't know what the technical term is. The larger one is a reinforcement of the joint where the wire splits into to strands.
