MP3 Belt Buckle Activates With Hip Thrusts

Mark Wilson — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:11:51 EST

I've always preferred my belt buckles covered in rhinestones, eagles and American flags from various historical eras/political affiliations. But I could tolerate the existence of a circuit board MP3 player belt buckle.

A DIY project consisting of an MP3 decoder, lithium ion battery, accelerometer (for complete gyration response) and some other various circuits and switches, the only components it might be missing are speakers and a decent gold plated mini horseshoe (a series of mistakes you can unmake during your own construction process). Now just to find a decent pair of blinky LED boots to ensure complete cowboy ostracism. [sparkfun via technabob]

MP3-Playing, Photo Frame Skull Belt Buckle is Gothic Gadget Wrongness

Kit Eaton — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:52:18 EST

Sadly this doesn't have "I am become death, the bringer of MP3s" inscribed upon it—it'd chime nicely with the ohmygod tackiness of the Digital Skull Belt Buckle. It's in fact so terrible it's wonderful: A metal belt-buckle in the shape of a skull with interchangeable modules in a cutout in the forehead. One's a cheesy flashing LED light panel, the other's a 1GB MP3 and video media-player that can also be a digital photoframe and comes with headphones. Passers-by will see your headphone cable disappearing apparently into your nether regions, but maybe you'll see that as a plus. There's no pricing info, but it's out "soon" gothic gadget fans.

Egokast Video Belt Buckle

Bah. Who needs a LED belt-buckle when you can go balls to the wall with a full color LCD belt buckle like this one from Egokast? The idea behind this is pretty simple, it is a 3-inch screen mounted on a stainless steel case that can attach to any standard belt. To play video all you need to do is insert an SD memory card and bam, video playback on your crotch. Now deciding what video to play on your belt will be the biggest wardrobe decision of your night. The buckle is available for $279, sans belt and memory card. – Travis Hudson
