True, true, $79 comes out to $38.50/frequency range, and there are few entry-level earphones that have higher price per feature.

Honestly, who wants their playlist shaken (not stirred)? It's a nifty trick, but in actual use, I'd want it off; what if I'm listening to an audiobook and hit a double rail crossing on my bike? Or, worse, what if I've carefully queued up music for the night, taking advantage of that external speaker...


Edit: Ok, I know I mixed the features of the two units up, but it was just too funny this way; if you must, suppose it's in a speaker dock on the head of the bed or something.
