Sound Wear (1989)
If you're bored this weekend or snowed in, you may want to take a deep dive on toy inventor Mel Birnkrant's website where he discusses the ups and downs, joys and pains of bringing an idea to market. There's also a smattering of vintage ads within!
Such was Sound Wear which was possibly a bit ahead of its time. The little speakers plugged into your portable cassette player and you could clip them anywhere. Sounds pretty handy, right? Well...the product is a solid idea, but headphones provide privacy and you probably don't want your parents overhearing verboten music :-D
The commercial is clunky and those kids are just not cool, LOL! Ah well...
