It may not have the same charm as the Flying Pasties, but Takara Tomy's Neckphones definitely have the "it" factor. Perfect for lounging in a nearby water hole (or watering hole, we suppose), this blow-up neck pillow has a pair of stereo speakers strategically placed near your ear canals, and there's even a pouch that we'd never, ever trust to keep your PMP safe from the liquids below. We suppose you could also take this on a plane, but don't bring your grumbles over here when the gals in 16A and 18B take issue with you blasting Now That's What I Call Music! Volume 11 for the entire coach cabin to hear. We're guessing you'd need to contact an importer to pick one of these up outside of Japan, but you'll have to let go of at least ¥1,800 ($21). We're surmising the hit in respect will be far more detrimental than the MSRP, though.
It's an inflatable bone fone!

It's hard to wrap my head around this...
Musical waterwings
So they're necks speakers, so i can entertain everybody in the plane with me, with speakers like that someone will throw me out of the plane
I assume you're referring to the far superior Now 11 (UK) from 1988 rather than the Now 11 (US) from 2002...
@d0mth0ma5 He's just kidding about Now 11. We all know he listens to Kids Bop.
I will ONLY buy this if pressing the star buttons makes sparklers & streamers fly out.
Hey buddy, I work for Skymall, and I don't appreciate you jabbing us like that!
This is a borderline crapgadget if ask me.granted no one did... I'm just saying.
I would've thought most people would use this for traveling. I also don't think it could keep most people afloat...
On a flight, I once gave a guy my spare ear buds because he insisted on watching a movie on his laptop even though he "lost" his headphones. He had it loud enough that woke me up even though I had my noise canceling cups on.
That guy had zero consideration for other people on the flight. To top it off, he insisted on giving me the buds back after I told him to just keep them. I don't do the sharing ear buds thing and I hoped he would not inflict the same pain on anyone else.
I actually laughed when unread pillow+speaker
Who wants that guy next to them on an air plane to be blasting white noise while drifts off and you take a roll in the sheets of anger?
Loving that metaphor
Love it! You just need a headphone socket now....
