Not that we haven’t seen MP3 players integrated into earbuds before, but we’ve yet to see any that give us more inspiration than these. Seriously, just look at this guy above — pumping iron, resisting the urge to shoot up a fine dose of ‘roids and getting all the motivation he needs from the Rick Astley jams that are undoubtedly streaming through. ANTARES’ KPMP316 DAP consists entirely of two enlarged earbuds and a cord to keep ‘em close; as you can imagine, the 1/2/4GB of internal capacity, play / pause button and volume rocker are all positioned just millimeters away from the actual drivers. Folks over in Asia can supposedly snag one in yellow, green, orange, blue, purple or black, but we’ve no idea what kind of outlay you’ll be looking at.
