The Vibone waterproof headphones

For those addicted to the iPod these headphones are for you. The Vibone is a waterproof headphone that use the bones in your skull to conduct sound. Pair them with a waterproof MP3, or your iPod in a water proof case, player and you’re ready to swim with your tunes. Available starting July 15 in Japan for Â¥19,800 or a whopping $170. Personally for the cost conscious I would recommend a zip lock bag for the iPod – that costs about a few cents.

On second thought, lets skip the zip lock bag for waterproofing.


isnt $170 a little bit expensive for headphones? i mean i know u can swim with them, but still !?
It is VERY expensive for headphones!
Could those with punctured ear drums use them? Or those with hearing difficulties? Wouldn’t it be a blast for them?
