74 Incredible Headphones and Earbuds

From Venomous Earphones to Medicated Earbuds

— January 31, 2010 — Tech
Headphones and earbuds evolve at a rate that is unbelievable. I remember when I got a pair of headphones that went around my neck rather than over my head, and I thought I was the coolest thing since the Fonz. I may have been riding the bus to high school with a mouthful of braces… but I was doing it in style.

In order to pay homage to the evolution of personal speakers, check out these 75 incredible headphones and earbuds.
