Hats with Headphones ;P

 Headphones & speakers in hats, t-shirts, bags and shoes.

Future predictions reveal that more and more technology will become popular in clothing. My post looks at some of the tech which you can  find in clothes today and where you can buy these items.




What is that?

The iLogic Sound hat and Airwalk Peak Headphone Hat are both hats with headphones that keep your head warm and look cool.

iLogic Sound Hat - £7.99 Pink , £11.99 White on IWOOT.com  
Airwalk Peak Headphone Hat - £6 on Amazon

 

 

The boombox speaker t-shirt sold at firebox.com has built in speakers and a flashing equalizer. But if you think its impossible to wash and will smell louder than it sounds you have to unplug the battery pack before washing :D

Speakers in your shoes!!!

I have no idea if these are real or for sale....but i do know they are the first shoes with speakers I have ever seen.

???????!!!!!!!!

Nike Music Shoe

Is it a shoe? Is it an instrument? Is it a shoe with an instrument in it? Is it magic? Is it real? Is it the future? Is this too many questions? What is it?! 

Using technology such as accelerometers and sensors , these Nike shoes are sound controllers that are sent through computer music software and blasted through these speakers. This extremely creative project was created by a musical group called HIFANA in Tokyo. 

The concept - A shoe that you plug in and makes a noise when bent and twisted.

The idea -  To make music with an 'orchestra' of shoes.

The live recording of the HIFANA music group playing the shoes in the NikeFreeRun + advert.

 

Don't believe it? Watch this ...

Unfortunately, these won't be on sale - although they would be pretty cool to wear. The message at the end of the advert reads - The NikeFreeRun+ is absolutely a running shoe. Shoes sold at retail will NOT make music when bent or twisted.
