The ODDIO1 headphones may be the only headphones in the world designed specifically for use with the iPod Shuffle. These wireless headphones are designed for those who like to take their iPod Shuffle on-the-go and look cool while doing it.
Jeremy Saxton and Jacob Hall are the designers behind the ODDI01. The ODDIO1 headphones have a slot on the right ear that you attach your iPod Shuffle into. This hooks the Shuffle into the headphones and allows you to work out or run around outdoors with your tunes blaring, unobstructed by headphone cords. The designers have taken their headphones to Kickstarter where they hope to raise $45,000 to get the ODDIO1 headphones available to the masses. You can get a sneak-peek of their design here.
