You wouldnt wear them at the beach.

I think it is good for the rain, you don't have to hold the umbrella. But for nothing else.

"Design student Elaine McLuskey noticed that it’s hard to talk to someone in a noisy bar without shouting" -- yeah, I think you'd have to be pretty drunk before you'd wear one of those things.

"Chief, regulations require we use the Cone of Silence."

Too noisy in the bar and really need to catch up with that friend?
Why would you ever just pick up and go somewhere quiet when you could wear a bubble on your head!

Seriously?

And so in a noisy bar or club or industrial environment you should wear this clear plastic ball with space-gate like openings to connect to similar spheres...? Plastic spheres around your head??? This lovely student clearly has done a lot of thinking (Not)about the accoustic properties of lexan, perspex or other clear plastics since they all have the effect of reflecting any sound once it has come within the sphere. These plastics all resonate to soundwaves, so any sound will sound somewhat deformed and then multiply reflected. Yep- real "quiet" in there- so much noise in fact that one cannot even here oneself thinking anymore...

Its easier just to plug the ear of the person your talking to. Works great in a noisy club every time

There is something obsurdly upside/down in this thinking process. Did Jim Carey invent this?

Great idea, but just step it up a notch, and enter the club rolling in a gigantic hamster ball.

@Kalel: hahahahaha

Looks more like the "Portable Cone of Silence."

stupid is as stupid does...

Nah, it looks daft. We just need a wireless microphone-earphone setup, like motor cyclists use.

Or stay out of deafening environments...
