Billed as music-infused headwear for those who hate wires, the i360 headbands and beanies provide wireless listening enjoyment. Could this be a Bluetooth A2DP solution we’ve all been waiting for? Anyone who has exercised around swinging headphone wires knows we need a better solution.
Instead of Bluetooth, i360 chose to go another route: it stores the iPod up in the headwear. Clearly this concept would work best with a smaller iPod Shuffle vs the longer Nano, but that doesn’t stop this company from going after both. Most products are offered in two versions, to support all generations of the Nano.
The company produces headbands, beanies and even hat beanies with pockets for the Nano and Shuffle at prices starting at $39.99. Controls are left exposed so you can pause, forward and rewind your tunes. In the video below, the brainchild explains that you can even play a music video on the screen showing people how bold you are.
