Nokia shows off song-inspired Bluetooth headset designs

It didn't exactly cause that big a stir when it was first announced, but it looks like Nokia's Music Almighty headset design competition still managed to attract a respectable 6,000 entrants, and Nokia is now showing off the five winners that have been manufactured as fully-functional, one-off headsets. The hook of the contest is that all of the headsets had to be inspired by a song, which expectedly drew a whole range of designs from the stylish Daft Punk "Robot Rock" set above to feat of subtlety that is the R. Kelly "I Believe I Can Fly" headset after the break. Hit up the link below to check out the remaining winners, including not one but two Michael Jackson-inspired sets, and look for the whole lot to make their way to the Nokia Regent Street Flagship store in London next month.

The things that look like diamonds make the last one look stupid.

o_O

The winged ones make the first pair look good.

You know with falling stock and the economic woes, you think the company would invest in something a little more profitable...

I've heard about these...the R. Kelly model is powered by urine.

[CryptArc Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:15PM]

designed for Frankenstein, apparently

apparently someone watched my life as a babysitter too many times

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 8:51PM]

Perhaps you mean Adventures in Babysitting?

[Blackflag486 Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:20PM]

Robot Rock ftw

[LAY Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:21PM]

2nd pair are the headphones of Thor.

"I Believe I Can Fly"... okay, I see the wings, but what's with the organ pipes over each ear?

[pbase Posted Mar 26th 2009 1:05AM]

Wings-Angelic-church-music-organ pipes.

See how they all fit together?

Those Robot Rock headsets look badass.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:29PM]

ROCK. ROBOT ROCK.

[jpfree Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:43PM]

Thank god they're one off pairs is all I can say.

[9bit Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:45PM]

So now I need a new pair of headphones for each song I listen too?

[NEUR0M4NCER Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:53PM]

Am I the only one who thinks the R Kelly 'phones are absolutely awesome? Forget the 'source material', and you've got something that wouldn't look out of place on either:

a. A Catwalk
b. Any Anime show where schoolgirls look hotter than they should.

cool

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 29th 2009 10:17AM]

cool

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 6:29PM]

Wow!! I wud luv to rock those DaftPunk headphones! Plz make 4realz!

I wud honor them by playing Alive 1997 all the way through for their virgin listen.

[Kizul Emeraldfire Posted Mar 25th 2009 8:09PM]

In my opinion, the first ones look too flat to be very comfortable.

Instead, I want the R. Kelly headphones, but minus the organ pipes and trumpets, and modified so that I can have the band go over my head instead of behind it, as well as have the speaker parts fit on my ears like aviator headsets.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 8:17PM]

That ain't funny no more. Really who is gonna buy that thing? They look hideous. o_0

[ddhboy Posted Mar 25th 2009 10:39PM]

I'd buy the Daft Punk ones.

[M C Posted Mar 26th 2009 11:40PM]

Same here - if they added a little padding along the inside of the top. Makes my bluetooth set look ... old.

Also, mine pulsate blue, which is really annoying in a dark room. If these dont have lights on them , im in.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 27th 2009 8:12PM]

steampunk headset plz

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 25th 2009 8:21PM]

cool, a Brazil the movie themed headset
