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.

hanging mp3 players from your neck was a thing back then. I had one in highschool 16 years ago and I loved it..
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

You know it when a RUclipsr is dedicated when he literally records a second vid just for us in compensation for the first vid disappearing for a moment or two. This basically just made me love this channel even more

He didn't record a second video though, making a video takes a lot of time. Patreons get 2 videos every week so he probably made the second video public.

I had the real version of one of these, the “mobi blue” and it was actually decent meant to be worn like a necklace and the earbuds were pretty decent. Not too bad for 2005 or whenever that was

I actually had this thing for years while in high school. Back then it was advertised on Ebay as "The smallest MP3 Player in the world!"
I was made fun of, but i proudly carried this uncomfortably sharp cube around my neck with its silly silicon cover on it until the battery finally died and won't charge anymore.
I would like to point out that when the manual declares that it's "the world's smallest MP3 player", the manual says SUPPER MINI. So that's it then. They were trying to model it after a bullion cube.
Or a crouton
I wish I could remember the name of the one I saw at Wal-Mart several years that was even smaller than this and had a whopping 128 MB of storage. It really was about the size of a bullion cube, or maybe a standard sized 6 sided die.
reminds me of one of those sugar-coated cube candies you get in the supermarket in packs
@@yeaaaaaaaaaaahff mate do you mean sugar cubes hey
It was a bootleg of the MobiBlu Cube MP3 player. The real one had 1GB capacity... which was a much more impressive capacity back in circa 2002.
so DankPods currently is the most supported RUclipsr on Patreon that isn't a podcast. absolutely deserved

Side note the reason the headphones have that braided nylon cable is they were shooting for an an iPod shuffle 1st gen approach. The headphones as shitty as they were, were supposed to be a necklace with the digiblock hanging on it. Never wore mine as a necklace because I think back then I was rocking like jvc gummies and some cheapy koss over ears.

You said Koss and I remembered a local post with a compact that had a mirror, multiple colors of lip gloss and a paintbrush, and headphones were packed inside with all of this, the label of this whole product was the same Koss. 😂 We have this major hybrid complex of department stores and thrift stores in one of our cities, and according to the post authors that dedicated their whole page to that marketplace, that was where they found the compact. 😂 Not to forget that the whole package and the product itself screamed 2005 aggressively. 😂
your "this is a COLLECTORS ITEM i have to open it CAREFULLY (stabs packaging)" bits always get me theyre so good
The cube shape is also inconvenient for anyone who, like my ADHD self, sometimes has a _fidget cube_ in their pocket. Used to the feeling of a cube-shape object in your pocket, yes, but then _confusion_ might arise between which cube you use when you want something to do with your hands and which one you plug your earbuds into.
"No one bought this"
Untrue, this was my favorite MP3 player I had in like 2008/09, 13 year old me thought this was the peak of design. Still think about my little cube sometimes and how the hell I managed to use that thing.
I actually wanted to have one.
@@jerkycam I did too. I got some other cheap mp3 for xmas and was reasonably satisfied.
I guess it helps if you don't have hands as big as he does at 13 maybe lol
I had one of these, or a similar one in my youth. Mine was only 1gb, and could hold fuck all for music. I synced everything in 128kbps to squeeze as much on it as possible. I've longed for another for nostalgia
Back then I had Nokia N95 8GB and that thing was awesome for audio and spent days playing music while working, while watching rally..........
It even had decent speakers for a phone, 2 big speakers one for each side in stereo.
I can't believe they made the blender default-cube into a real thing! They also have a thing in common: you throw them away as soon as you see them.

By far my favorite mp3 player I've seen on this channel so far, I love the cube. Sad to see the one grit strike again 😂

Very true

"Oh, it bit me!" - I had to rewatch this moment five times.

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.

The janky buds and the little loops on the top makes me thing they expect it to be work on a lanyard and just hang on it. Such 2000s vibes
My theory: big wasteful of space probably is intended for theft chance reduction. It'll be difficult to put the package in pocket, or cutting it off takes time.
That's actually on the nose. My sister was working retail at this time when everything was being placed in these plastic clamshells of pain, and while they did see a dramatic drop in shrinkage (AKA theft) in stock put in these, there was a huge increase in customer complaints because of how much of a pain they are to get into. Now with online retailing and a push from consumers for more eco friendly packaging your seeing less and less of this stuff
@@kamicokrolock thank god there's less of this shit being made
And greater visibility to the consumer when it's hanging from the hook rail display shelf wall thing
@@rarrawer got it right, it’s designed to take up more shelve space making the product more visible to the customer, also means there is less room on the shelves for competing products.
Absolutely yes. It bothers me to no end when people complain about plastic waste, but in the same breath will justify shoplifting from big stores because "they can handle it."

The main reason this packaging is so big is for theft deterrence. If the packaging were appropriately sized for the small device, it would conceal effotrlessly in a pocket or jacket.
