Solid Alliance's 'Crazy Earphones' Are Just That

by Peter Mychalcewycz on October 25, 2009 at 11:58 AM

A new line of earbuds from Solid Alliance has drawn attention for its, shall we say, less than palatable designs, and as a public service to our readers, we would like to agree with all the haters. Beauty may reside in the eye of the beholder, but so does ugly.

The increasingly derided and aptly named Crazy Earphones line consists of four truly dumbfounding designs: sushi roll, banana, cat paw, and Frankenstein bolt. (And they're only $22, or ¥2,000, a pair!) The kitty paw and Frankenstein 'buds may appeal to a certain consumer, but sushi? Ripened bananas? We have a sneaking suspicion that whatever niche market Solid Alliance was attempting to target is nonexistent. Or, at best, still too small to cover production costs.

We could be wrong. For all we know, this line of earbuds could explode into a culinary-cute-tastic headphone phenomenon. We just doubt it, that's all. [From: Geek Stuff 4 U, via Engadget]
