Pathetic looking Sony PFR-V1 Personal Field Speakers: Would you buy them?

Not the one for slating something too often these Sony PFR-V1 Personal Field Speakers look pathetic, ok maybe they have something special about them or something but the looks look bad.

These are definitely headphones but instead of sitting over your ears they hang over your ears which personally is a horrible design, what was they thinking?

The headphones feature two speakers which are one inch in diameter and they have die-cast aluminium in build with the headband being made of a light metal. Sony has said that the higher frequencies hit the outer ear where the bass drums into your dome.

You will able to get your hands on them in April for a staggering $500 which is just as pathetic as the design. For more information and more images please visit Gizmodo.
