What a stupid gimmick, I'd rather have the speakers on the desk than
extra weight on my head for the very unlikely times I actually want
simultaneous headphones and speakers anyway. Especially when running
wireless and thus using more battery power to run both.


Of course it's stupid gimmick. But if you read the description, the
"ears" not for YOU to listen to, but for those times you want to "share
with friends" and "make a statement".


Well duh, and why do you think desk speakers cannot do that adequately?
I'd rather make a statement about the music than how stupid I look and
how much more money than sense I would have to buy crap like that.


I suspect this product was not designed or marketed with you in mind.


Of course it isn't, as I indicated I'm not into pointless gimmicks.

Clearly you took too many 'serious tablets' that morning .
