… or maybe it just proves that you will need to be to wear them. 😉

What do you get when you mix a little bit of Paul Smith with a pinch of United Colors of Benetton and add just a dash of The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Why, you get the technicolor limited edition Urbanears Tanto headphones, of course.

Priced at $47, so that the kids and young-at-heart who will covet them might actually be able to afford them, the Tantos are available today at the “exclusive Wired Pop Up Store event in NYC” (on 692 Broadway), or at WiredStore.com.

The limited edition Tanto headphones are assembled with random colored parts (headband, earpad, cord, remote, jack, speaker) and feature a unique retro look, remote and mic, and a 3.5mm jack for maximum compatibility.
