Fred & Friends 500XL earbud speakers

Check out these earbuds, or are they speakers? I guess that depends on how big your ears are, but they are, for the vast majority of the populous, speakers, they just look unmistakably like a pair of stock iPod headphones.

Right now its just a concept, but they already have packaging designed, and I don't know about you, but I'd love to have a pair, I'd even pay a fair amount for them. But their design includes a built in amp and 3-way power, as in they'd be powered from your choice of 3 power sources.

Their idea states that they could be USB powered, electrical outlet powered, or battery powered. They would look great next to a white MacBook or connected to a 5G iPod that's white, but really they'd look great in combination with any Apple product.
