There's nothing at all that sounds appealing about "skunk juice," unless you're talking about Humble Fish's new Skunk Juice brand earbuds.
Funky name aside, these earbuds sport a patented magnetic connection technology that makes it easy to share your awesome tunes with friends and family. Provided Billy from next door is rocking the same set of earphones, he'll be able to snap them to yours and listen to the same music source. The other upshot is that you won't damage your earphones if you shake, rattle, and roll a little too vigorously
Humble Fish says it's primarily targeting kids and teens ages 9-19, which would explain the Skunk Juice nomenclature, but also expects these to appeal to musicians and artists in the studio, studio engineers, and consumers in general.
The Skunk Juice earbuds will go on sale later this month for an as-yet unannounced price.

Wouldn't it be easier to just add a female headphone jack to the headphones? Then you can't lose that stupid magnet dongle and your friend doesn't need wonky headphones too. That or just use a splitter.
