Evergreen's blinking headphones: 'cause you hate daddy

If you're eight, own a DAP, and sometimes wear a skirt then check it princess, Evergreen's got a set of illuminated headphones just achin' for the crankin'. The cables sport organic EL technology like that seen in your daddy's DAP display and blink along with the beat of the music. No, that 1G iPod shufflesque slab is not the DAP, that's the battery pack; audio source sold separately. Also available in sea mist green and colonoscopy blue, your ¥4,980 (about 43 dollars) worth of pastel att!Tude ships from Japan starting today.

I really wish people would get more creative with product names.

Putting an "i" in front of everything is just getting old.

[shmengie @ Dec 7th 2006 9:50AM]

due, you're just i-jealous cuz you didn't i-think of it.

[Christian Martin @ Dec 7th 2006 10:17AM]

Evidently they were afraid to use the "i" so they opted for the easily-mistaken "!" instead. Probably too close to iTunes otherwise.

Sadly, this marketing ploy works quite well. The number of crappy products prefixed with "i" grows everyday and the sheeple are naturally drawn to them.

[TS @ Dec 7th 2006 10:14AM]

If you'd look more closely you'd see that the product name is in fact !Tude. See, they went with an exclamation point over an "i", so they are super original and creative. That'll show you...

It doesn't even say iTude you pylon -- it says !tude. It makes a difference where you put the dot.

Maybe you should pick up one of those keyboards for the blind.

Hey.. I've got an eight year old that would love this... can't find them. Anybody iknow where to find them?

[Man in tights @ Dec 7th 2006 10:21AM]

Hey blinkin'!

"Did you say Abe Lincoln?"

You guys are all missing one very important detail, one of the colors is "colonoscopy blue"...nothing says entertainment like sticking a tube up your...well...you know, and then taking the tube and PUTTING IT IN YOUR EAR!

[Miranda Kali @ Dec 7th 2006 10:38AM]

I suddenly felt a great disturbance in the force...as if millions of ravers and cyber-goths cried out in simultaneous orgasm...
Yup, I'm definitely gonna start seeing these by the bucket full at the club.

[Jon @ Dec 7th 2006 10:54AM]

What sort of people wear earphones in the club?

[Mike @ Dec 7th 2006 10:48AM]

Their naming strategy reminds me of the old "Air Jordache" vs. "Air Jordan" issue.

[Wonderboy @ Dec 7th 2006 10:59AM]

"What sort of people wear earphones in the club?"

I wouldn't put it past the same weirdos Miranda mentioned to use these... not to listen to their headphones, but to be "cool".

Someday when I grow up I want to be cool... someday.

[Wonderboy @ Dec 7th 2006 10:55AM]

That "colonoscopy blue" sounds real sweet. Next thing you know the trend is going to change from adding "i" in front of everything to adding "colon" in front of everything... they might even abbreviate it as ":" to really throw people off. You'll see, it'll be all the rage.

[Hans @ Dec 7th 2006 11:32AM]

These actually wouldn't be half bad as a "running at night reflector" type light. then for the bulk of the battery and the $43, you could probably do better.

[imsoclever @ Dec 7th 2006 12:02PM]

I'm two out of the three... BUT GUESS WHICH ONES!

[John Doe @ Dec 7th 2006 12:38PM]

Did anyone else read that as iTurd for a second. Yah yah I haven't had enough caffeine this morning.

[Shredsled @ Dec 7th 2006 1:01PM]

He he he. Colonoscopy Blue.

[Vince D @ Dec 7th 2006 1:19PM]

Come on, !tude? Looks like a piece of JL!NK to me!

[walk2k @ Dec 7th 2006 2:22PM]

What the hell is DAP?

[Nadir @ Dec 7th 2006 3:27PM]

haha i love the description written for this piece

[Oliver @ Dec 7th 2006 7:45PM]

The 80s are back! YES!

[Alexandre Bolduc @ Dec 7th 2006 8:42PM]

What's the difference with the old IBeat sold about 1 years ago? If it's the same product! This = shit! I've be refond in 2 week and pass 2 pair of headphone in 2 or 3 days 1 of the ear cord stop illuminating! Same prob with the second pair IBeat send me! Stay away of that earphone!!!!

[Ariel @ Dec 7th 2006 8:47PM]

Am I the only one who thought at first glance that this thing was a new Wiimote with a new and improved pink wrist strap?

[Vigis @ Dec 8th 2006 8:55AM]

Am i the only one who thought it was named iTurd before you really read it?
