Sound Idea? iPod Vest with Speakers

Sound Idea? iPod Vest with Speakers

Soundwalk is a vest with two speakers in the shoulders to blast your iPod tunes out as you ride around.

Developed by a Korean company, the vest speakers run on two AAA batteries, the iPod plugs into a front pocket (though there don’t seem to be pics showing where, exactly).  Soundwalk costs £39.99 (roughly $55) and the makers boast that “the astonishing surround sound from speakers (pictured below) which can compete with a live performance.”

Even on the model, however, the vest is a bit on the fugly side.

Better sound than sorry?

    which is an upgrade from what you have written in the article…as much as i love your articles here…i would think you would have included this items bigger brother with a higher power kick to the sound for those that are actually riding around…as the first sentence misled me into thinking this item was for what i would need it for…

    just an FYI for you guys at cult of mac…check it out…looks like a great thing
