These may be the most double-take-worthy earbuds we've ever seen.

Teknines Nine Millimeter Earphones (by a new company called MUNITIO) are going to be released later this month. The first run will be just 500 units in numbered, authenticated utility packages, so sign up now to be notified when they are available.

These exclusive, eagle-etched earbuds are shaped like bullets and plated in 18k yellow gold -- but they're not just for show. Check out these features:

9mm speaker drivers with earth neodymium magnets for superior dynamic range and quick recovery
Machined copper alloy housing, plated in 18k gold providing unmatched sound purity, natural noise cancellation and durability
MUNITIO's proprietary BassEnhancingChamber™ engineered to produce the tightest, most accurate bass without distortion
Custom-tuned AccousticSoundFlowSystem™ for the smoothest mid to high frequency response while minimizing ear fatigue
SiliconeHollowPoints™ with noise isolating technology designed for secure comfortable fit, resulting in lower volume levels and better sounding music
Kevlar® reinforced fabric cable combining light-weight with high strength to protect the premium copper wire from stretching and shorting
24k Gold plated 3.5mm stereo plug providing exceptional audio signal transfer

The Teknines earphones are compatible with most of your usual audio equipment and retail for $250. If you're not into gold, keep an eye on Teknines; they're planning to release a titanium version of the Nine Millimeter Earphones in August.

I absolutely love these! What a hoot! Hope cops gobble them up before the gangbangers and gangbanger-wannabes do.

I think these are clever, no doubt hi-quality, and they send a message... The wrong one.

You want to walk around with 9mm bullets in your EARS?
How ridiculous.

Who wants to walk around with 9mm bullets in their EARS?
How utterly ridiculous,

Like we don't have enough violence going on to keep all the psychopaths happy? We have to have shell casings and hollow point gold earbuds to show how bad you are? I'll invent a pair using real bullets and if the user turns the music up too load the bullet will fire and hopefully knock out the couple of brain cells floating around in that vast empty space. Yea, that's the ticket, I'll be an inventor!

You people have missed the real point. $250 for EARBUDS?? You gotta be kidding me!

Yoakaholic Jun 12th 2010 5:26PM

Sounded good, but I hope they come out without the gold plating at a price we can afford. $250 for ear buds? Give me a break!!! Also, I hope the cheaper ones fit INSIDE the ear. Like the "antique" ones did. Ear buds just do not fit and feel right. Anyone know where I can find those things that actually fit inside the ear? I'll keep watching the emails to see if anyone knows.
