Who needs ergonomics when you've got looks like these? Sure, your ears might go numb from the pain, and the lack of ear cups might put the hurt on sound quality, but you'll be the hottest
A2DP rocker in the room and you know it. Toshiba didn't have a whole lot of info on these things, not even a model number, but hopefully they'll be hitting the market for something reasonable before too terribly long. Check a few more angles after the break.

These are the ugliest things I've seen in decades. They look like those headphones from the 1980's with built in FM radio.

I think that Paul needs a new idea as to what is sexy...
See kids, this is what will happen if you grow up to be an editor for a tech blog...

Yeah I have to agree they don't look either comfortable or sexy.

Fat head phones need love too! Just not from me:)

They look like AMFM jogging headphones from the 70s. No thanks.

They look sexy and they look like they would somehow be more harmful than the average 2.4 GHz emitting object strapped to one's head...

They really don't look comfortable...nor sexy. I'd rather try to throw them away but the near boomerang shape could make that risky.

If these are "big on sexy", Paul, I'd hate to see what your girlfriend looks like...
Just sayin'...

iShuffles pumped up with steroids, handcuffed together and forced to do time as headphones.

I saw these at CES, these were in a small display of prototypes that all showcased Hydrogen fuel cells as their power source. There was a laptop and another device in the display, all were boxy and square-ish. I guess that is the form factor for these fuel cell power sources, hence the blocky look of the headphones. So long batteries...
