Bone Conduction Headphones
I remember the Japanese telcoms experimenting with bone conduction headsets for the hearing impaired but this is the first time I've seen similar technology made for the masses. The Zelco OUTI clips onto your ear and transmits sounds directly thru your cartilage to the tiny bones that pick up vibrations in your ear. Apparently this method of listening is safer and provides better sound quality since you not only hear the music, but feel it too.
$110 and in pristine white to match your iPod.

I'm torn between thinking they're kind of creepy and really, really wanting to try them out. Keen. I wonder if there's a different quality to the sound?

Looks interesting and scary at the same time. I also wonder about the quality of the sound.
