I can’t wait until September 1st, I am definitely going to order a pair of those glowing head phones.
Those the Ibeat sound as good as earbud?
anybody know where the ibeat headphones are available from and how much they cost?
Ibeatusa.com they are post to be available 9/1 but their is nothing on their web-site where u can purchse?
I’d rather wear a beer helment than those raver headphones
The ibeats look kind of cool but I can’t help but think that they offer a potential thief a well lit road map to stealing your ipod
You won’t lose them if you are a responsable person. I can’t wait till retail those ibeat in store!
“The ibeats look kind of cool but I can’t help but think that they offer a potential thief a well lit road map to stealing your ipod”
i think they work with any audio player, not just the ipod. after all, i dont see the serial jack thingie, or even a third “ring” around the headphone jack.
I just purchase a Ibeat. Sound from Ibeat as good as apple earbuds. The light that come off wire are pretty bright. If your in the dark, inside a building or mid day the neon is bright. If your direct sun light it look like it off. The response button on the Ibeat is cool it like equalizer to your music. I would not worry about theft pretty much.Amost everybody has a I-POD these day. And people walking around with white headphone could that be a I-Pod most likey.
