Yao Ming. Abraham Lincoln. Robert Wadlow. For all their fame and fortune, there was one thing these tall, tall men couldn’t do: keep their MP3 players in their pants pockets while listening. The stingily short wires on the standard lightweight headphone set force such giants to keep their iPods and Rios and iRivers in their shirt pockets, or clipped to their Houston Rockets jerseys, or hidden in their stovepipe hats.

Until today. Making their intergalactic debut right here on Woot: the Saitek A350 Wireless Headphones. They bring tangle-free sound to the highest-elevated, most active ears, restoring the dignity of our tallest citizens and staying out of your way when you’re shimmying around on the Nordic Track. Simply connect the wireless transmitter via a standard 3.5mm audio jack to your personal MP3 player, home stereo, PC or Mac. Then wrap these futuristic fones around your skull and run free, free as the wind blows (or up to 30 feet from the audio source, whichever is less).

Mere words cannot convince you that the A350 sounds great, too, so we won’t try. Instead, we’ll allude again to its unparalleled convenience. We’ll call your attention once more to its groovy curviform sci-fi design, like something you’d see in a dentist’s office on the planet Tralfamadore. We’ll let you know that as of today, Woot is the only source for the Saitek A350 in all of these United States. And we’ll remind you of the sad plight of those whose ears and pelvii are too far apart to use conventional headphones in comfort.

So buy yourself a pair or three of Saitek A350 Wireless Headphones. Do it for Honest Abe. Do it for the Alton Giant. But most of all, do it for you.
