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
