Toshiba's Bluetooth headphones: big on sexy, down on comfort

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.

looks like gray wii-motes attached to a headband

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

ya i dont really understand why you call this sexy...

[BIG oG @ Jan 11th 2007 9:14PM]

LOL! Engadget says, "Big on sexy", I say, "Big on Ugly"

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...

[Mitchell Oke @ Jan 11th 2007 11:14PM]

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

[Eynan Ayres @ Jan 12th 2007 12:20AM]

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

[Jeff @ Jan 12th 2007 12:47AM]

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

[Uranium @ Jan 12th 2007 12:55AM]

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...

[Xinerauqs @ Jan 12th 2007 3:38AM]

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.

[Kim @ Jan 12th 2007 6:53AM]

A little like: http://www.beocentral.com/products/u70

[Garry @ Jan 12th 2007 9:57AM]

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.

[Fod @ Jan 12th 2007 6:27PM]

allow me to introduce you to something on your camera called 'exposure compensation'

turn it up when stuff is white.

kthxbye.

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...
