How does the idea of a surround sound vest sit with you? You know, a surround sound system that allows you to listen to your music on your MP3 player in all of its surround sound glory, but in a vest. A vest that you wear.

This rather bizarre concept came out of the recent Korean Trade Show, which showcased some of the most ingenious and crazy gadgets currently being devised, developed and thought up by some of the best inventors Korea has to offer.

The vest is known as the ‘Soundwalk Vest’ and is able to accomodate a MP3 player, mobile phone or any type of portable musical player. The vest has been designed to be worn by people doing physically strenuous activities such as extreme sports, mountain biking or hiking. The vest comes equipped with speakers mounted in the shoulders that blast out the music for the wearer.

How long it will take this item to hit the shops in the West, and how much it will actually cost is yet undecided.
