Insane conceptual headphones might get you some weird looks

Nokia recently held a design competition for headphones, encouraging designers to base their imaginings on their favorite music. What resulted were some truly insane designs. The one above, for example, is called "I'm Flying" and is based on I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly.

You could watch Obama on TV with the sound off and listen to “The Ride of the Valkyries” instead.

the “I’m flying” headphones should be mandatory for auditioning old Jeff Beck LPs...

R Kelly, eh? They should make on in his honor and call it “I Can Pee On An Underage Girl”.

"Practical? Not in the slightest. Awesome? Very much so. And the headphones after the jump are just as awesome. Inspired by Michael Jackson's Thriller, it's basically like wearing a crazy diorama on your head. Obviously, none of these will be for sale at Best Buy anytime soon, but they sure are cool to look at."

The one with the wings looks like the headpiece for a Valkyre or the superhero named Flash.
