Now I’m not the biggest Star Trek fan in the world. Nor do I like when I see people wearing the wireless ear bud necklace. So I’m a little torn on these new earbuds available at ThinkGeek. I mean in one sense I should be happy because I won’t have to see people with that ridiculous collar around their neck, but instead I’ll see people with pointy ears up and down the street.
ThinkGeek lists the product specs as the following:

- Imported
- Batteries: 3.7V/90mAh (rechargeable via USB cable, included)
- Standby Time: 180 hours
- Talk Time: 4-5 hours
- Charging Time: 2 hours

So the usage time isn’t necessarily the longest out there, but I don’t think you’d get these for the technical aspects. You want these to be Spock on the phone. Take your business calls while in your Spock ears. Find out your wife is pregnant, in your Spock ears. Get the test results from your doctor, in your Spock ears. Run on the treadmill, while in your mother fucking Spock ears!!
