Geekologie I Watch Stuff The Superficial

Daft Punk/Disney/Monster/TRON Headphones

I can't really wear headphones because my left ear's like two inches lower than the right and I look like Sloth and Quasimodo's lovechild, but -- oh I'm sorry -- am I making you hot? Moving on. Monster, best known for hocking immorally overpriced HDMI cables, has teamed up with Disney and Daft Punk to produce these TRON-inspired headphones. Admittedly, they do look cool, but they also cost $350 AND ARE THE RESULT OF A MONSTER/DISNEY MASH-UP, which I, for one, refuse to endorse. "But GW -- I thought you'd endorse anything for the right price." And no, I have ethics and standards now.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Ethics and standards. God, I almost blew the back out of my sweatpants trying to keep a straight face. Send me a pair and the endorsement's yours.

Hit the jump for a couple more product shots.

    Ahahahahha, I'm posting about shirt buttons -- SOMEBODY COME END ME. This is the $3 (that's too much) Button 2.0. It's a shirt button that can clamp the cord to your headphones. That's pretty much it. Unfortunately you need to know how to sew to replace your regular buttons... / Continue →
