- alexanderhazard, on 01/24/2008, -14/+56Ross Perot's ear buds
- Crazysticks, on 01/24/2008, -19/+551. Buy large headphone speakers
2. Plug into Mac Air
3. ????
4. FRONT PAGE!! - ericduh, on 01/24/2008, -16/+50someone should make a 500xl iPod for them to plug into.
- noahhoward, on 01/24/2008, -4/+27Wow... that doesn't look fake at all..
- LiquidIse, on 01/24/2008, -6/+293 = Have top diggers complain about algorithm tweaks
- Faelenor, on 01/24/2008, -6/+25500X? Impossible! The size of the real thing is about what, 2cm? 2cm x 500 = 10 meters!
- FKnight, on 01/24/2008, -1/+19Your alias is very apt.
- tmattoneill, on 01/24/2008, -4/+20why do mac users portrayed in advertising always look like unemployed screen writers circa 1993?
- ilves7, on 01/24/2008, -2/+18yes, thank you for spelling out the humor.
- 3adkied, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9Since these are three-dimensional objects, 500x is probably talking about the mass/volume. To get an object 500x bigger is really only about 8x in any one dimension (8x8x8=512). 16cm in one dimension seems perfectly plausible.
- BLAM8, on 01/24/2008, -6/+14Truer words were never spoken in Digg/Apple
- inactive, on 01/24/2008, -4/+11Sure you can, you'll need an extra belt though.
- borez, on 01/24/2008, -12/+19Wonder if they sound just as bad?
- GfunkGbuss, on 01/24/2008, -6/+13I actually expected bigger for 500x.
- thekms, on 01/24/2008, -2/+8Coming soon for $39.99

I want a pair. - ziggotron, on 01/24/2008, -7/+13You don't see much, do you?
- bjornski, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5Want help?
- HonoredMule, on 01/24/2008, -1/+6Or because your attempt at sarcastic humor flopped...
- MacEnvy, on 01/24/2008, -0/+5Burt Reynolds prefers oversized novelty cowboy hats. Because it's bigger than a normal hat. That makes it funny.
/Celebrity Jeopardy - mrelusive, on 01/24/2008, -6/+11How is this NOT a joke? It's clearly shopped'.
- dafragsta, on 01/24/2008, -2/+6*sigh* 4500 Diggs and I thought that joke wouldn't be too obscure.
http://digg.com/comedy/A_drunk_girl_through_the_ey ... - souljaboytellem, on 01/24/2008, -2/+6it's the bigger the better theory
- IHaveCrayons, on 01/24/2008, -0/+4This thing is obviously photoshopped.
- xxNIRVANAxx, on 01/24/2008, -1/+4you submitted the story, yet you don't know where to buy them?
- bjornski, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3No, it really wouldn't.
- EmileVictor, on 01/24/2008, -5/+8http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=V ...
- betobeto, on 01/24/2008, -2/+5The 50 ft. woman certainly could.
- bjornski, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3They'll go perfect with your 2 foot wide silly-shades.
- crackedplastic, on 01/24/2008, -2/+5How about submitting the source link next time. Whatever happened to: "It's not fair when we get the Digg for someone else's work. Let's keep the signal-to-noise ratio high, dudes." From: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/announcements/digg-spam ...
- eleven82, on 01/24/2008, -0/+3Agreed
- StarmanDXE, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Am I gonna have to buy a 2nd Manila Case in which to carry these around???
- rufusdog, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3More importantly: Do they go all the way up to '11'?
- edwartica, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Hey, you stole that from me!
- BoneStamp, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2I agree. Although, they are an improvement over the original iPod earbuds and most people are used to average sound so they don't realize how much better it could be.
- StarmanDXE, on 01/24/2008, -1/+3Seriously. Even if they're normally 0.25", that would make these 125"...
- DeFex, on 01/24/2008, -11/+13do they have the same lo-fi quality to go with the ipod outputs?
- CodeCobalt, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2okay my sarcastic radar isn't fine-tuned yet.... BUT if your serious....
"maybe someone works for a speaker company and they are spooked by the competition? I am trading in my bose noise canceling headphones for these things immediately." is the DUMBEST thing i've heard in a while. - MacHarborGuy, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1i love how it's not just the ear buds that are shopped in, but that almost everything in that image was shopped in.
- snoonoo, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Impractical, it's too big for human ears.
- smashingmonkey, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Wait until you see the size of their iPhone adapter.
- GfunkGbuss, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Yeah, which is over 10 feet...
- edwartica, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Stupidity at its finest.
- lazyslacker, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1maybe they were referring to internal volume, not diameter of the driver, or MAYBE it just sounds good to say 500x and 500x actually has no bearing on their size.
- Hoogs, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2I actually own a blue one of those. Saw it at Walgreens and just had to get it.
- 4degrees, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2how lame can ya get? some people get all wet over the lamest things.
one man's trash is another man's treasure i guess. - techweenie1, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2I think you meant to say portrayed as hipsters.
- HeathN, on 01/24/2008, -2/+3I call BS. That is surly shopped.
- HonoredMule, on 01/24/2008, -2/+3You'd need an iRack to hold them.
- Klarth, on 01/24/2008, -3/+4Will this do?
