Safe Sound Sports' SSPS-1 Speaker System might be a bit "S" zealous, but it's also serious about keeping your jogger hiney safe on those mean streets -- even at the expense of bothering everyone around you. See, these new SSPS-1 speakers clip onto your clothing to keep your ears free to hear "potential attackers, traffic noise, animals and other serious threats." Of course, this means your Private Mix of Power won't be so private anymore, and there's no chance these non-powered speakers are going to be near as dynamically rich as your average pair of earbuds, but with The Man cracking down on headphone use, it might be your only option in a year or so -- and hey, the whole "not getting hit by cars" thing is always kind of neat. The SSPS-1 Speakers are available now for $20.
how much for the girl?
"Hey what song is that?"
leans in....
Wow, Dr. Who must not be paying that chick enough.
Since when sharing music is annoying?
What if you want to jog with a friend?
Each one should have their own iPods and their own headphones and totally ignore the person next to them? That's annoying.
Music is meant to be shared. Shared in public.
We need a lot more mobile speaker products than what's available now.
what about different tastes in music and the crappy sound these things have to produce? huh? what about that punk. Huh, punk?
According to me, this device is just another stupid idea to get money. Lets make bag with woofer inside. 320W of pure power for jogging.
cute girl!
I can't wait to piss off everyone at the gym!
Most people who listen to music while exercising, do so to alleviate the monotony of whatever their doing. I don't think people will buy these to be a human boom box.
One more thing the wanna be gangsters can use to annoy the hell out of me on the subway. Also wonder how the purposed mp3 player ban in NYC would deal with this.
I don't give a hoot abt the speakers, I just want the girl. Niiice.
Couldn't they have made a special earbud that pumps the sound from the music into your ears only while still passing outside sounds through? It still wouldn't be as good as normal earbuds, but at least it's not a pair of goddamn speakers on your shoulders.
That kind of technology would extremely expensive and we wanted to make this very affordable. The concept is to help keep people from being, injured, attacked or killed. If you don't want to wear them on your shoulders you can place them on other parts of your clothing. See the web site for options. www.safesoundsports.com
Paul Miller is a cutie.
So not wearing headphones takes place of looking both ways before crossing the street?
What is next, banning deaf people from crossing the street since they can not hear traffic?
Did those wanting to ban headsets not get taught by their parents to look both ways before crossing the street and obeying the traffic signals?
so, no subwoofer?
