Justin Timberlake Brought Sexy Back; YUBZ Now Bringing Retro Back

Tuesday December 9, 2008
Geek is the new chic and retro is the new cool.

That, at least, is how YUBZ sees things. Just as Justin Timberlake brought sexy back in 2006, YUBZ is now hoping to bring retro back to cell phones. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but you can’t say it’s not a fun one. The pictures below do all the talking.

The YUBZ Talk Mobile headsets, which range from $44.95 to $59.95, are on sale now at YUBZ.com. While an eye-catching metallic gold finish headset was released last week, they also come in yellow, orange, red, black and (unfortunately) pink.

While YUBZ says the headset is compatible with most mobile phones today, the company says some do require an adapter whereas others will easily plug directly into the headset. A retro volume slider lets you adjust the sound level, too.

Do these have a larger speaker than regular cell phones. Sverely hearing impaired persons need a large ear piece( speaker) with more volume. Hearing aid compatible??
