Believe it or not this here contraption is a pair of headphones. They go by the name of mu-bot (Japanese for “what the hell?”) and they’re scheduled to hit Japan late next month. I don’t speak a word of Japanese, but I’ll try to decipher what the product page’s hieroglyphics actually mean.
For example, I’m pretty sure that right under “mu-bot” it reads “happy go in ear for mega ultimate sounding fun.” When you scroll over the first square “tiny man good iPod crisp entertainment.”
And so on. Tiny man-shaped headphones, which must just sound terrific, will cost $25.

I’m sure these were released last July: http://www.headphonenews.com/2006/07/19/sega-mu-bot-cuddly-earphones/
Must be an Internet time-warp thing!
