Are These The World's Ugliest Bluetooth Headphones?

I've never had any dealings with the folks at Etymotic, and while I'm sure their headphones are impressive, I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw this ad on another Web site:

The ety8 headphones might sound amazing for all I know, but they look too much like big, clunky earrings for me to ever be comfortable wearing them out in public. When I saw them my first thought was of Star Trek, and not in a good way - if I geek like me gets a negative impression from that, then on the street it could only be worse.

It's kind of ridiculous that the leading MP3 players (iPod, Zune, Sansa) still don't have Bluetooth built-in - yet with Bluetooth designs like this, maybe it's not so surprising...
