Volution Bluetooth Headset Almost Makes Headsets Cool— Almost [Headsets]

Bluetooth headsets suck, mostly due to the fact that they’re butt ugly and turn users into talking-to-themselves crazy people. But this latest design takes care of the first issue—so long as you’re a lady (says designer Fandi Meng).

As you can see, the headset is more earring than funky robotic ear leech, and it actually looks kind of nice in a futuristic fashionista kind of way.

Like a traditional headset, you tap the sensor to answer an incoming call, and talk into the air like a idiot as normal. But you look good, especially if you happen to be a model. [Fandi Meng via Design Blog]

As she’s vampire pale and the damn gizmo’s a pulsating crimson, I can only conclude it runs/feeds–and not very efficiently–on human blood via parasitical tendrils, gleefully wending n’ worming their way through the external auditory canal, puncturing the tympanic membrane, boring through the petrous bone–finally culminating in an orgiastic direct tap into the wearer’s carotid artery… Well–a small price to pay for haute couture!

@StupidSimple: Man that just fires my imagination. How about the brain hemorrhage headset? The dripping yellow earwax headset? The possibilities are endless.

Nothing beats the brain eating worm bluetooth from “Wrath of Khan”.

I like the concept, just not the execution. Why did they have to make the thing look like a radar dish? Also, it needs a little OLED on the side that scrolls “NOT SCHIZOPHRENIC” whenever you are talking on it.

My volution bluetooth headset brings all the boys to the yard.

Also, one of those barrettes is an MP3 player, one is a short-wave radio, one is a remote car starter, one is a razor-edged boomerang weapon, and two are simply barrettes for keeping her hair in place.

@Sir Gibler:
Ahaha, yes… That’s always a problem. Always double-, or even triplecheck text when you’re advertising something.
