You're quite new here, arent you ? Lets just say that these arent the only 'headspeaker' design in the headphone world - its not a joke.

They are used by the military.
It's called headboarding.

I'd totally rock them outside. I'm sure these would make even Darth Vader jealous.

I don't think I can die happy until I get a float ... they are going pretty cheap too, if only I was in some sort of profession that got paid well!

I remember the original thread with that top picture. I had no idea someone reenacted it. The guy on the right is definitely improved upon. I like how he even copied the black arm band/sleeve. ROFLAMFAO I'm dying here from laughter. I can barely type... hahahaha
