To promote its new 'Bing On' feature, [T-Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tmobile-promotion) has designed a portable headset called 'Binge On Up.' For those who can't seem to stop watching their favorite show, this hands-free headset provides the perfect solution for streaming on the go.

The Binge On Up headset is similar to a selfie stick in that it allows the user to extend their smartphone out in front of them. However, this particular device is mounted to the head in order to facilitate hands-free viewing at all times. As a result, users can stream their favorite [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jins-home), [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bingeandeat) and Hulu programs anywhere.

Unfortunately the head-mounted selfie sticks are just an April Fool's Day joke, meaning TV lovers will have to come up with their own solution for binge-watching on the go.
