As much as I appreciate a good pair of headphones, I utterly can not stand headbands that are usually found on high end headphones. Sure I could purchase in-ear ear buds but the best quality headphones usually come with headbands. While the folks at Audio-Technica have unleashed the ONTO Seamless Headband headphones. These headphones which are available in 5 different colors, offer a super thin headband – so thin that most people will probably think it’s missing if they see you wearing these headphones.

Specs on the Audio-Technica ONTO include:

  • 1.2 meter cord 
  • 30 mm Neodymium magnetic drivers
  • 12 – 23,000 Hz frequency response range
  • Swivel housing
  • Adjustable headband

The ONTO phones will go on sale in Japan starting on January 26th, 2007 for roughly 20 bucks. I wonder how good they’ll actually be.
