Tokyo-based online gadget store Thanko (they have an English site) is now selling the Sport MP3, a combination of neckband earphones and an MP3 player [JP]. And this time it’s nothing weird. Thanko just says the Sport MP3 is the perfect solution for people wanting to listen to music and do sports at the same time.

The device (weight: 40g) comes with 2GB of memory and a USB port, supports MP3/WMA/WAV files and features up to 5 hours of battery life.

It should be listed in Thanko’s English online shop soon, but if you live outside Japan you might consider Geek Stuff 4 U this time. The shop is already offering the Sport MP3 for the Japanese street price ($50 plus shipping price).
