JLab makes giant headphones that double as a Bluetooth speaker
JLab Audio has unveiled an oversized pair of headphones that also functions as a Bluetooth speaker. The product page shows bemused models holding them up to their ears, though the scale makes that look impractical.
The headset appears tied to JLab's Birmingham Bowl sponsorship, and the marketing leans heavily on sporting imagery. In many photos the models avoid pressing the cups directly to their ears, perhaps a nod to the drivers' power or to a firm clamping force.
The headphones arrive in a striking electric blue, a color choice that might remind some viewers of a Trigger Happy TV sketch, even if that reference won't land for all audiences.
The store page currently returns a 404, while Engadget lists the price as $99. That places the product in the range of a powerful Bluetooth speaker or, alternatively, a novelty meant to be shown off to friends.
