    I just realized that the "necklace earbuds" means this was probably supposed to be worn as a novelty necklace, hence the small size of the Cube (to be a pendant) and the the earbuds dangling sort of backwards (to hang down the sides of the neck and then be easily inserted when you want to listen to music). I'm pretty impressed with the idea for the times. It's sort of like the fad of earrings that also were tiny USB memory sticks that went around for a while.

      Less so that it was a novelty necklace and moreso that they realized it made no sense to put in your pocket, so they gave you a lanyard so it could hang from your neck. I owned one of these in high school and used the lanyard for like a week before I gave in and switched to better ear phones and just used an extender so the cube could sit in my cargo pocket.

      As someone who actually lived through this product, it was pretty sweet. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have destroyed it or anything, it's pretty bad compared to like an iPod. But, still, it was ergonomic to use than you'd think. Little kids usually wore really baggy pants back in the early 2000s, actually, now that I'm thinking about it, most people wore relatively baggy pants in the early 2000s. But again, the point is that it was meant to be worn as a necklace, and out of all the gimmicky wearables from that era, I'd say this is extremely unoffensive compared to what most young adults and kids would tolerate wearing back then

    Unfun fact about the screen used: that particular type of OLED screen is very common in hobbyist electronics. 0.96" diagonal, 128x64 resolution, uses the SSD1306 controller chip, and is very well supported on platforms like the Arduino. Probably made a lot of sense to use it here due to that support.

    That first MP3 looking kind of suspicious, might be an impostor, who knows it might even be among us somewhere near a vent..
