Cat Ear Headphones: Wackiest Gift Ever?

We saw some unusual gift ideas at the recent Holiday Spectacular press event in New York City but this one took the prize for the wackiest…

…wackiest unless, maybe, you’re a teenage girl.

The Cat Ear Headphones were front and center in the “10 Wow Gifts of 2015” booklet Brookstone was handing out at the show:

Working cat ear speakers. Light-up speakers and earcups. Purrfect for listening alone or sharing with friends!

What more could you want in your headphones—except maybe decent sound? All yours for only $150.

Thumbing through the booklet we thought the real “wow gift” was the 4-foot-tall Meccanoid G15KS talking robot ($400), featuring voice recognition with a thousand pre-programmed witty comebacks—and 1,000 pieces to assemble. Patience will, indeed, be the rule of the day for anyone who takes on the challenge.
