The iPod Shuffle is one tiny ass device. It’s actually pretty hard to keep track of if you’re multi-tasking, which many music-listeners happen to be doing. If you’re one of the unfortunate schmucks who own the Shuffle, iPod Shuffle Neckband keeps your device close, regardless of how much close you might or might not be wearing. Look, sometimes a guy just has to workout in the nude. Precision manufactured from 3D printed polyamide, the iPod Shuffle Neckband is both light... Continue reading

Yo, dawg, your music is da bomb-diggity. You wanted bass that really exploded? This decommissioned grenade has been de-bombed and MP3-activated, replacing its innards with portable media hardware and replacing the safety clip with a headphone jack. Link

Thanko might not be known for their practicality, but I think they might be on to something for once. Their Micro Sports MP3 Player looks more like a Bluetooth headset. The device fits right into your ear with a built-in earbud. It’s that tiny. Available in 2GB and 4GB flavors, the Micro Sports MP3 Player looks a little chintzy, but seems to be even tinier than Apple’s iPod Shuffle.

The S.MP3 by French designer Nicolas Cinguion is an ultra-mobile portable media player, allowing its earbud’s cable to be wrapped inside of its own circular design. It looks sort of like a yo-yo, but sadly, doesn’t offer yo-yo functionality. When will they learn??! What men really want is an MP3/yo-yo hybrid, not some impostor disguised as one.

Have parents begging to relive the ’60s with a dash of 21st century technology? Then get them this funky pillow. It has a built-in MP3 player with speakers and comes in the shape of a boombox, cellphone or guitar. They come in tye dye coloring, so if you’re trying to keep it classy, don’t go looking here. It even has a built-in AM/FM radio so they can listen to NPR. For $25, you probably won’t find a better present for... Continue reading

Huge Chavez and his wacky regime have a plan for the people of Venezuela. Instead of investing capital, time and effort into low-cost laptops, similar to that of the OLPC, Chavez is betting on the cellphone. Reports claim that the handset will be called El Vergatario and will feature a camera, an MP3 player and a radio. Hey, you gotta get your propaganda somehow. Still, costing about $14, a cellphone of this caliber at such a low price will allow... Continue reading

This belt buckle features a hand-built MP3 player using a kit from Sparkfun Electronics. You can change tracks by tilting your buckle thanks to an accelerometer and songs are stored via an SD card. You can’t buy the buckle as a kit, but you can buy the music player itself and create your own music-playing apparel. Perhaps if you put one in a football helmet, Eli Manning would have won last night’s football game. Ugh. Link [via]

Meet 19-year-old Gary Bussell of Biddeford, Maine. He’s the dumbass that managed to walk right into a fucking oncoming train because he was too busy listening to music on his MP3 player. He’d just received it for Christmas when he was struck by an Amtrak train. Dumb idea, but at least he’s alive. That broken leg, elbow and pelvis will ensure he never pulls this kind of stunt again. Trust me. Link
