If you’re sick – SICK!!! – of not being able to play your music collection at a moment’s notice for a group of onlookers, and you have a set of keys that grant you access to various secure locations then you, my main man, might want to look into this $11 MP3 Earphone Speaker.
It’s basically an oversized earbud that I can almost guarantee sounds just about as tinny as cranking up the volume and holding your regular earbud up in the air, but this one fits on a keychain and passersby will surely comment on the idea’s novelty.
And where can you purchase such a fine product? Try Things You Never Knew Existed… and other items you can’t POSSIBLY live without! That’s seriously the name of the site.
In unrelated news, I’ll be suggesting to my superiors that we change our site’s name from CrunchGear to The Mildly Popular Blog That’s Mostly About Gadgets With Some Other Random Items That May Or May Not Appeal To People Who Like Technology… and on the weekends there’s not quite as much to read about since some of us take a break!

This flashes me back to the days when everyobody I knew would have a tape and a walkman and *be so cool* because they could share their music with whoever whenever.
So while I’m not cool enough to have an mp3 player and I’m sure you’re right about it not sounding all that great, I still think it’s a pretty cool idea. :) Definitely right that it’s something I never knew existed!
Nice idea. Good for listening to podcasts perhaps. But $11? C’mon, the thingy costs $0.30 to make!
This seems like a good idea, but the image of having a large earpiece sticking out of an iPod kind of creeps me out, I don’t know why.
But there are also those devices that allow more than one person to listen to an iPod via different headphones. This might be more convienent though.
