The name 'Plug It In' Headsets is a practical way for you to [share music with your friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pill-openwear-wireless-headphones) in a hassle-free manner. The side of the earmuffs has a gold-plated jack that if you connect it from your [headphone to your friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscene-ear), the two of you can enjoy music together. When you think about it, it's also a lot more hygienic especially if that one person has been listening to some tunes for hours already.
