Anyone know how durable it its? I want one so I can listen to music while freerunning, the thing is if it breaks easily I wont get it.

My headphones died today...
I'd love this if it weren't for all the obnoctious stares I get for my unusual taste in music.

I can imagine that being really, really annoying to the people around them. I know they said people close by will be unable to hear it but that is total bollocks. Not two days ago I heard the song of a guy using iPod earbuds about 100 feet away.
Seriously. Worst technological idea I've ever seen come to fruition. Anyone who buys this piece of crap is obviously not sane enough to have decent taste in music, so what's the point?

I dunno. The concept is very interesting. If it was a little less bulky, I think it would be more popular.

Haha, I think this is the best thread I've seen for weeks!

The whole vest thing seems, a bit impractical. It would impair body maneuverability, if it's hot it would be annoying, and you can't just shove it in your pocket. Also, did they mention how you get music onto it?

I don't see how this is "Punk", unless you count pissing people off by running around with music blasting from your garments as a sign of rebellion.

I could consider buying that if I actually went our running more. Once a month isn't really enough to invest 50 euros in.

This is actually a plot to make us used to wearing all sorts of protective gears. They know the end is near, and now they are preparing us for living in a post-apocalyptic world. You´ll see, soon they release Kevlar raincoats and gas masks disguised as innovative MP3-players.

Seriously though, I doubt this invention will become a hit in Europe or America. Koreans may be used to technological gadgets like this, but here they will probably be looked upon as awkward and impractical, not to mention silly. Nothing wrong with the model, but the vest doesn´t seem like a good idea.

Ratboys - once having shat in someone's lounge room or kitchen - could make good their escape from the coppers whilst listening to exciting "getaway" theme music after stealing one of these 'must have' gadgets. :p

I don't recall people being overly bothered about annoying people with the music blaring out of mobile phones, so no need there.
And I'm happy with my rather large headphones. I don't think it's something that will go down too well here. It's not exactly sexy, regardless of how hard that girl tries.
