I've kept a watchful eye on these "headphones with integrated MP3 player" deals, and some of them have been pretty cool. one thing they've always been missing, though, is some sort of display to show you what song it is that you're listening to, and so forth. Thanko Limited will release the "MUBIE JOGGER Sport MP3 Player," a headphone-style MP3 player with an LED display, on their direct sale "Rare Mono Shop." The release date is December 12th, and the headphones will be available for a price of 24,980 yen. This is a headphone-style MP3/WMA player, with an internal memory of 512MB. Intended to be used while doing sports, they feature an improved wearability with the use of a rubber neckband, among other things. MP3 and WMA playback is supported, and WMA DRM is also support. It is capable of playing 20 ~ 192kbps bitrates, and 32 ~ 320kbps WMA bitrates. A 94 x 64 dot LED is equipped on the housing part, and it supports the display of Japanese. It can also display ID3 tags. Furthermore, it furnishes a 5 mode equalizer with modes such as "Normal" and "Rock." FM radio and voice recording functionality, as well as line-in recording using the MP3 format, are available. Connection with a PC is done by USB. Using its 400mAh lithium ion battery, the player can playback for about 10 hours, and is recharged by USB. The external dimensions are 49 x 52 x 15mm, and the headphones weigh about 50g.
