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.

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.

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!

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.

"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.

I'm two out of the three... BUT GUESS WHICH ONES!
John Doe @ Dec 7th 2006 12:38PM

Oliver @ Dec 7th 2006 7:45PM

Alexandre Bolduc @ Dec 7th 2006 8:42PM

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?
