50 Cent's Star Wars-themed headphones launch on the light side of the 4th
That great disturbance you just felt? It's likely the bass from SMS Audio's Star Wars-themed headphones. We heard they were coming back in Vegas. In fact, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson joined us in person to tell us as much. Today, excuse us if we don't play along by saying the date, they'll be with you. Or rather, in stores, so you can buy 'em. You won't need 10,000 credits, but you will need to pay the 200 US dollars asking price upfront. No need to sell your landspeeder, either. However, you will need to pick your allegiances carefully, as there are Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, Empire and Rebel Alliance editions to choose from. The headphones themselves are emblazoned with logos on the earcups that match your chosen Star Wars representative/s, and on the Boba Fett one's at least, have a smart-looking matte finish, and soft leather-coated memory foam on the ears (complete with that "new trainer" smell). Inside the box are some Star Wars related goodies, and the box is drenched in intergalactic artwork. We're still disappointed there's no Leia design, but for the next edition, there's new hope.
50 Cent's SMS Audio joins the alliance with new Star Wars-themed headphones
[Cantina Band plays in the background] In a collaboration, we'll admit, we weren't expecting, 50 Cent has teamed up with Lucasfilm to release a series of Star Wars-themed headphones. Based on 50's existing Street design, the new line includes Stormtrooper, Rebel Alliance, Boba Fett and Imperial editions. We know what you're thinking -- where's the Leia-inspired cans? The new range is said to be available for a limited time only, and will come with a certificate of authenticity, along with some in-the-box Star Wars goodies. Once you've decided which side of the Force you're on, you can get yourself a pair for $200 around springtime, ideal for checking out that lost footage on the commute.
