Some would say that those will be useless on rainy days. Well, think twice, because the OnBeat can be charged via USB from your PC or straight from the mains socket. Also, no more pulling out your phone to raise the volume for that awesome track – the headphones have a volume rocker integrated into them.
Design-wise the headphones look pretty slick. If you are one of the Kickstarter pledgers you'll get the limited Green edition. Speaking of Kickstarter, the project's aimed goal is $298,000, and a single pair is supposed to have a retail price of $175.
