Bluetooth stereo headphones designed to look exactly like those
awesome classic aviator headphones, right down to the triple-hinge
boom mic. To be worn exclusively with a brown leather bomber jacket
and aviator shades. Don't just look like a tool while you zip through
traffic at douchebag-level
speed
in that minivan: BE the tool.
To make these headphones legal to wear while driving, the sound
transmitted via Bluetooth plays at greatly-reduced volume in the left
ear (right if you drive in Europe or anywhere else that routes traffic
down the wrong lane), which has a hearing aid-like external sound
amplifier.

They're kind of uncomfortable |

Could maybe include these (link). |
|

I never found them to be uncomfortable... I did end up painting
mine black, however, to cover up an unfortunate image that was
scrawled in indelible ink on the right cup. I do miss the smell of
JP-8 in the morning... |

"exclusively" … ? So, nothing below the waist,
then ?
|
|
| |
Given the above, that will be quite obvious as
soon as you exit the vehicle …

|

That depends on a lot of factors … we like
them. |

and a squashed peaked cap. |
|
| |
Oh yeah, gotta have the peaked cap. And norm, that helmet is
freakin' sweet. |
|
| |
A perfect accompaniment, indeed, Max. |
|
| |
An hour's tinkering with an old Peltor
headset (normally kept for the poor sods in
the rear seats), a distribution amp and an old
Bluetooth earpiece show that it is perfectly
possible to make an adaptor that will link a
standard headset to a bluetooth-capable
mobile.

Admittedly the setup is not exactly portable,
and indeed will not stand rough handling (or
indeed being moved at all) it's an effective
technology demonstrator. So we're calling
this one completely Bakeable. |

Speaking of which, why don't cars have trim tabs for
the steering? |
