N.Tech NVP100 Headphones

Just in case last weeks clip-on earbud/earring hybrid wasn’t crazy enough, N.Tech have gone one better by announcing two new bone-conducting headphones.

The NVP100 and NVP200 aren’t the first set of bone conducting headphones I’ve came across but they are the most purple. If you can get over the looks and are actually interested in using these, they work by vibrating the sound straight into your auditory nerve via the skull. Surely that should be enough to put anyone off?

Once again, I doubt these will see the light outside of Korea.

Ntech NFE 100B Clip-On Bluetooth Earbuds

No, you haven’t misread the headline, these Bluetooth headphones actually clip onto your earbuds just like earrings. Oh, and if that wasn’t weird enough, they also vibrate.

These aren’t the first vibrating earphones I’ve seen but I have to say, these seem even more pointless than the RWC iTan ITN-VR10 that confused me back in June. According to the manufacturers the clip on design will “prevent possible auditory disease” which is good. Of course, they’ll sound rubbish, which isn’t so good.

At the moment, these earbuds are for the Korean market only - expect them to stay there.
