Lugging around a boombox on your shoulders expends quite a bit of energy, but thanks to Atari Speakerhats, that’s a problem no more.
As well as giving a whole new meaning to ‘Radiohead’, this baseball-style cap comes pre-fitted with both stereo speakers and a mic that can connect with any Bluetooth compatible device. It’s thin, lightweight, and virtually indistinguishable from a regular cap, save for the ‘invisible tech’ bundled inside: rechargeable lithium ion battery, 5-band EQ plus Advanced Audio Distribution and Headset Profiles, V 4.1 CSR/Qualcomm cV audio technology, micro USB and LED light.
Atari Speakerhats are wearable audio devices that fuse headphones and portable speakers into one package, letting you enjoy music, mobile games, and phone calls in crystal clear, distortion-free bliss.
You can purchase a limited edition Atari Speakerhat here for $99 USD. You can currently select from three different styles: Fuji Blackout, Royal Blue/White and Black White. Atari plans to release additional designs in future. The special deal runs until Monday, so those interested might want to take advantage of the $40 price shave and free shipping (US residents only).
What do you think about Atari’s speakerhats? Only for the hardcore fans, or an innovative trend milliners should take note of?
Atari has revealed plans to return to the console making business with the Ataribox, which is roughly scheduled for a 2018 release.
