Something about the image above makes it seem that the folks over at Greenhouse are up to more than manufacturing electronics. The Angel & Devil earbuds (1,279 yen or $12.65) follow on the heels of the company's Pigbuds (which now that we mention it, may also have some sort of occult significance). What can we say about these things? They fit in your ear, they're available in one of five colors (the angel is always white, just like the Tom & Jerry cartoons -- the devil can be summoned in red, purple, pink, magenta or death-dealing black), they ship with a display stand and they're only available in Japan. And the struggle for your immortal soul continues...

AMON AMARTH RULES
Opeth > Amon Amarth :-)
I could see myself wearing these on the subway .. belting out "raise a stone for all to see, runes come to my memory!"
Or i could just keep the ultimate ears...
Amon Amarth OWNS!!!!!
"occult significance" :0
Engadget, could you please put this in the crapgadget of the year nominee list?
They do Rule...
seen them live twice going for third time next year
lol death metal lol.
lol kelly clarkson. why?
lol no idea.
More earbud ideas, some more appropriate than others for death metal fans:
(disclaimer, I suppose some could actually exist; I haven't looked)
Front and back end of a screw, so it looks like the screw goes through the head.
Mouse heads and paws so it looks like they're looking out of their nest holes.
Other heads and hands (demons, worms, snake, etc.) with maybe a matching tail going into the other side of the head.
The classic arrow-through-the-head gag.
dart feathers.
Little faces, like Muench's "The Scream".
pencil erasers, or one eraser and one point.
Am I the only person who wants to by an angel pair and a devil pair to splice them and put one in each ear? Seems like a logical conclusion here.
oh a display stand! I am sold.
these would b awesome for listening to sum Burzum
Wouldn't that be 6 colors not 5?
Hey, even more demonic. . . They have the rams horn as the number of colors 666.
Does P&G got a hand in this company or what?

Okay, NM. After going to the site I see that each pair includes 1 angel and 1 devil. Durr.
I could see myself rockin these with some Arch Enemy, or oldschool In Flames bumpin. Anyone else?
Is it just me, or do they look like devils in diapers?
Swedish death metal fans? Am I missing something here? o__o' (I am Swedish)
