[CES 2009] M&M Earphones For The Kiddies

Kids will eat almost anything, especially if its small and brightly coloured. That’s why we have to question the safety credentials of the latest earphones from Maxell, the M&M headphones. Dumb yes, but probably great marketing and at completely the other end of the scale from the new £1,000 Sennheiser HD 800s. Like the name and photo suggests, these are in act M&M-styled earphones, right down to the colours and logos on the outside. They even come in a package that looks like a pack of M&Ms. They will be available in 5 colours including red, pink, blue, orange, and white and will cost around £10 a pair. Sure they’re cute, as sweet-flavoured earphones go, and kids will probably pester parents endlessly for them but I think my cheapy Sennheisers [sub-£20] are safe for the moment. Still, if you lose them, there’s a 90% chance that you’ll find your kid having a good chew on them. -Martin Lynch [Coolest Gadgets] earphones music
