In-hoodie speakers

Tim Dubitsky has just prototyped "hood.e", a super-cozy solution to bringing music to your ears without blocking everything else out. The product has a great genesis: Tim originally created the design as a present for his nephew--who walks a dangerous route to school crossing busy thoroughfares--and wanted to make it safer for him by freeing up his ears from blasting earbuds that blocked out all the street noise.

It looks like these would be a simple remake, and the styling is nice. Anybody know how speakers hold up in the wash? Oh, teenage boys don't wash their hoodies? Ok, good.

Anyone remember Bone-phones?

You wore the bone phones around your neck and hooked up your music player. You not only heard it, but you felt it as well :)

I would imagine piezo type speaker would be waterproof. sound quality would suck though.

A friend of mine bought a hooded jacket with compartments for headphones inside the hood about 10 years ago. It was some american skate/street brand that made it I think.
