Vibrating headphones: for gamers, I guess

becell.jpgThese BeCell VSG160G vibrating headphones are meant to be force-feedback devices for discriminating gamers, people who need to have the added realism that shaking headphones brings to their favorite first person shooter. I'm not sure how much better a game will be if your headphones are vibrating, but apparently someone has been asking for this, so here it is. It seems to me this would work better in cellphone headsets that work with music-enabled phones. Rather than stopping your music to ring through the headphones, they can simply vibrate while the music plays on so you can decide whether or not you want to answer the phone or not without missing a beat. But I guess there's a bigger market for gaming accessories of questionable merit than my brilliant cell phone related ideas. Harumph. There's no pricing or availability info on these as of yet.
