Bless, Audio-Technica give birth to world's ugliest baby

In the time-tested tradition of bedazzling every article of clothing on your person, Audio-Technica has teamed up with Bless jewelers to bring you an exclusive line of headphones wrapped in uniquely gaudy decorative sleeves.
Now I can understand snazzing up your headphone cable with some beads or lace, but I struggle to think who would wear the one that looks like something you'd pick up off the floor of a Wookieean barber shop, especially considering that they cost 12,600 yen (or $129)!
Sounds nuts to me, but if you're truly desperate to show off your riches, you can buy a set of Bless/Audio-Technica's headphones here.
