Yes, we're aware we used the same adjective twice, and truth be told, we'd be justified in using it two more times. No offense to designer Robert Potter, but his prototype ear cushions, while perhaps practical in certain situations, are too much of an eyesore to warrant a shipping product.
Of course, opinions are like...you know how the rest of that goes. Point being, just because we don't find Potter's "Earos" attractive doesn't mean there won't be someone else who does. The ear cushions, which we spied on Yanko Design's website, are designed to slip over your mobile phone and provide a bit of comfort for extended chats.
"Earos provides a convenient padding to your ear when you use it with your mobile phone," Yanko Design writes. "It fastens to any phone and even doubles up as a axdisplay stand, when used in reverse position. A convenient fastener hooks it up to most phone models. It rotates on two axies, so that the ear pad can be repositioned in a jiffy, allowing access to the display. It looks to be a comfortable addition to the phone, especially if you are the sort to talk on it for long. Ears really tend to heat up fast, and Earos can be a good barrier!"
Plenty more pictures to gawk at right here.
