Arriva has concocted a pseudo-wireless headphone ring complete with what looks like an iPod Shuffle attached to a pipe cleaner that is in turn hooked to a pair of ear buds. You wear this with the controls located right behind your head, which is a pretty awkward position to be in. Imagine fumbling with the next track while you’re busy doing your laps on the treadmill. The headphone ring that you see is actually a prototype, as the final version will be 30% smaller and can be worn just under the hair in order to conceal this from the eyesight of plain folks. The final product will begin shipping within 5 to 6 weeks, although there is no word on pricing.
