Sega Cool Designer Mu-Bot Headphones

Of late, and not in small part thanks to Apple and its marketing of the iPOD, it would appear that we are making a fashion choice (whether we like it or not) when selecting what MP3 digital music player we opt for, but whatever MP3 player we decide to go with invariably come with a pair of headphones that, at best are tacky and, at worse, are frankly pathetic.

Now, thanks to the Japanese company Sega, we can introduce a touch of much needed style to our choice of MP3 related headgear in the shape of these undeniably cute Mu-Bot headphones.

Styled to look like a cartoon character of unknown origin, the Mu-Bot’s main figure actually serves to keep those unwieldy cables cleverly and neatly stored when not in use. Very cool.

Due to be released in April of this year, the Mu-Bot will retail at 2940 Yen but we strongly suspect that they will become widely available outside of Japan in a matter of months (we feel a trend coming on).
