It's the Audio Bone! It shoots vibrations into your head which jiggle around your inner-ear bones, letting you hear music without all the fuss of shoving sound drivers into your ears. As a general rule, ambient noises ruin your music, but we understand there are times when you'd rather keep an ear out. We can see these things being useful for people who absolutely need to hear ambient sounds, or for people who are too careless to wear real headphones.
You can buy the standard Audio Bone headphones in orange, black, blue, or white for $189 plus $8.95 shipping & handling. You can also buy them in Super Special Secret Limited Edition Bonus Colors, but they'll cost you an extra $30. We remember back when pallette swaps were a lame, unimaginative way to create the illusion of quantity; nowadays the service actually makes stuff more valuable.
"But HeadphoneInfo.com," you cry, "these headphones can't move around to conform to my freakishly deformed head! What am I to do?" To you, dear reader, there is but one solution: the Ultimate Thundervenom Double-Dog Awesome Edition, aka the Audio Bone Adjustable. This purchase ($219 + $8.95 s&h) will allow you to rotate the ear clip in what appears to be a 90-degree arc. You can also fold them up and store them in the included carrying pouch!
Our initial impression: it's an overly-expensive, uncomfortable gimmick. Time will tell if we're correct, but we're wary for a few reasons. First of all, that picture above and to the right is from them, and it's quite bad. Secondly,the product launched with no distributers, which is a bad sign. Finally, the press release says, "For More Information Contact: Larry Popelka, President, GameChanger Products." The president is running customer service?
