Wouldn’t it be nice if we could listen to our favorite party bangers and pay attention to real life? It sure would, Rooster, tell me more! We’re glad you asked!

Sometimes it’s best just to shut off the planet entirely and listen to music in solace. Like when sitting on a stinky bus or staring lovingly at well-groomed pigeons — or in the unfortunate event your girlfriend is giving a tear-filled recap of the latest Bachelor episode — situations like those are a great time to throw on standard headphones and turn up the Space Jam soundtrack as an escape. It’s an easy way to stay sane, too.

But we need our ears in the real world every so often. Wouldn’t it be nice, though, if we could listen to our favorite party bangers and pay attention to real life? It sure would, Rooster, tell me more! We’re glad you asked!

Studio Banana Things — the unconventional creators of the Original Ostrich Pillow — are currently in the process of developing what it’s calling the Batband — an ears-free headphone system. The Batband uses bone conduction technology as a means to transfer sound into your dome.

Per the company’s almost-funded Kickstarer campaign site, the way the headphones work is through “bone conduction, consisting of transducers that emit sound waves perceived by your ‘private’ inner ear, thus freeing your ‘social’ outer ear. Sound waves are transmitted at a frequency that can be conducted through the bones of the skull. Your ears remain free, therefore you get to hear twice as much, without compromising on comfort, quality or style.”

There isn’t an exact purchase price of future production’s inventory just yet (not that we could find, anyways), but judging by the “gifts” one receives for backing the project and how much it claims you’ll save by doing so, the headphones look to be available for around $250 after it’s produced. There's a pre-order listing on the site though, which will run you about $125. Not … entirely … unreasonable.

Christmas is right around the corner and we do work hard to provide you some of the best entertainment this world has ever seen, dear readers. Just sayin’ … hint, hint.
