In case you haven’t heard, ears are the new “it” body part. Fittingly, the days of discreet earbuds are over, and now it’s time to rock your earbuds wild-style. These earphones are manufactured by a Japanese company called Thanko and come paired with a set of furry cat ears in pink or black. While you’re rocking out to, well, whatever it is you rock out to, you can prance around in the attached cat ears and shake your tail like a kitty. Or, you know, they’re perfect for “cat ear fetishists who need an excuse to wear cat ears in public.” Whatever floats your boat! Would you rock it? [Boing Boing Gadgets]

I have been surprised that ears are the “new in thing”. They became popular among highschool students starting in the mid-late 1990’s and they have only become more popular since.
The headphones are neat if you like cat ears, but for those who truely love them, they don’t need an excuse!
One drawback: makes it harder for people to see your headphones AND draws attention to you, totally negating any protective effect headphone wearing might have against conversations with random strangers that you’d rather not get into.

I approve of this trend, but I wonder, if people don’t notice the ear buds attached, will they think you simply want to wear kitty ears?

Hell yah I’d rock those. In fact I already told the hubby that if I don’t have these by the end of the month his ass is sleeping on the couch.

Notice - of course Japan is making these, because they love those kinds of things there, but come on, Kitty Ears in the US, let alone my city? Those are for 6 year old girls wanting to pretend to be a cat. Any older then 12, you have a problem. /sigh.
