So, the iPod was first introduced in October 2001, since then we have pretty much had to deal with ear buds and other varying listening devices (Bluetooth) being jammed into our ears. MadCatz has decided to bring all that to an end, and yet still give a similarly functioning set of headphones.

The MadCatz AirDrives don’t penetrate the ear canal, they sit right outside. They are practical for every day use for two reasons, first, they meet OSHA standards for all day listening. Second, they don’t block near as much ambient or surrounding noise, so if someone is talking to you or if you jogging and need to listen for cars, you can still hear.

Two versions will be available, a kid set for $70 and a full sized adult set for $100. Now the only question is how they sound, especially since MadCatz is known for making video games accessories, not headphones. At that price though, I’m sticking with my Bose Tri-Ports for now.
