ha... $413 headset is nowhere near as sleek as the nokia i picked up at best buy for ten... it was a sale, but still... for that money it shouldnt be so huge...

Forget the headset! I'd rather wrap that model around my head. :D

As was so eloquently put in Outkast's ground breaking I like the way you move, "...Now that's for anyone askin' give me one pass em' Drip drip drop there goes an eargasm..."

So I think it's clear to all where Big Boi stands on this subject. B&O headsets all around.

Yeah but what your paying for is to look like you're from the not too distant future!!!!

From a 1990s perspective... which is around now i guess

See the problem with this is that for $400 you're really going to want to wear that all the time. That turns you into one of 'those people' who wear their bluetooth headset when they're not even on the phone and think they look important.
So looking pathetic wearing a regular ol' bluetooth headset will get you looks and jeers. Wearing THIS headset SHOULD, if my math is correct, get you pummeled.

But I'm not condoning violence... no way.

The $413 obviously includes the lady featured in the picture above. That's the only justification for such an outrageous sticker price, right?

Right?

I think that you guys don't understand... For $400, you don't wear it on your ears, you insert it elsewhere, and it vibrates. Worth every penny.

Kim Jong Il has one, despite North Korea being a no go zone for this device.

$413 for continuous eargasms, you've got yourself a deal!!

If she comes along for the fit-test I might have to pony up.

pretty sure i'm down for a Bang. less so with the Olufsen. (unless that's another euphemism... then i am.)

oh wait. this article had words too?

But for $400 you get a great sounding headset that will last a very long time. Plus it looks cool. This build quality every headset sould have but insted thay make them with pi**por quality and bringing down the price but in the long run you end up buying a new one within 1 maybe 2 years.

@ wohho

I'm sorry, but the eargasm reference you are looking for is

"giving them eargasms with my mellow accent."

-dr dre, in No Diggity by Blackstreet, ripped off of Bill Withers.

At least you know that a cute brunette would wear this. Go buy this, NOW.

I do have to say that I appreciate the detailed review. Thank the Gods that I can come to Gizmodo and find thoughtful, informative reviews of some these rare, hard to find products.
