What do you do when you only have one iPod and one set of headphones, but you and a friend want to listen at the same time? The common solution is for each person to take one bud each and listen in dreary mono. Sure, people do it, but it's just doesn't sound good.
Well, Mida Interactive has taken the dual-listening experience to a new level with its ShareBuds Twin MX Stereo Earphones, which includes two pairs of stereo earbuds integrated into one product. The good news is they fit comfortably (you get three rubber tip sizes to choose from: small, medium, and large) and sound OK.

Considering you're getting twin headphones, you can see how Mida would come up with a price of $49.99.
