Look, we get what they're trying to do here. The two "ears" are meant to capture sound in stereo in the same way a human does, therefore producing a better sound picture in playback. The only problem is that your subject, be they human, inanimate or a strange hybrid, is going to be so busy being freaked out by this set of blue ears that they'll forget to make any sort of "natural sounding" noise.
Oh, and there's the little problem of the price: the Binaural Recording Mic from Otokinoko retails for $3,900 -- quite a bit to spend on a blue gimmick. We want. [Source:

Jeez, can we reign in the sarcasm, plz? Thanks.
Anyway, I think it's very inventive; it doesn't look creepy to me,
just amusing, and the idea behind it seems good. Their name is so cute, too. ^^; It means "sound mushroom." (oto=sound, kinoko=mushroom)
