One morning, as Gregor Klipscha was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous set of in-ear headphones.

You can listen to that one on a cheap pair of earbuds without missing literally anything. Some skeptics wonder: why a pop artist’s endorsement says anything about the quality of […]

When Vincentto said that he’d stolen the Roslyn Diamond, everyone knew where he hid it: in his ear. The problem was how were you supposed to get in there? People are protective of those things. You can’t just go touching a man’s ears without him starting to wonder, “Is this guy going for my diamond?” […]

Look, we’re human, okay? Sometimes we run out ideas. That’s why, from time-to-time, we’ll farm out the product writeup to an MFA student. Hey, if it worked for James Frey, it can work for us, right? Today’s writeup for these Klipsch M40 Noise Canceling Headphones comes from Tobin McCamry, who’s currently working on an MFA in fiction […]

Use this: to avoid getting tangled in wires and falling face-first into a tub of molasses. Don’t use this: to look “futuristic.” The future has NEVER turned out the way people predicted (Epcot Center, anyone?)

Use these: to gently massage your ear canals – where you carry much of your daily stress. Don’t use these: to listen to “This American Life.” Ira Glass’s voice should never be reproduced with such clarity. Lost in the wilderness with only this product, you could survive by: using them as fishing bobbers. Unless you […]
