They just keep finding new places to hide speakers, don’t they? This comfortable neck cushion keeps the music right next to your ears, allowing you to enjoy your tunes sans headphones — but without irritating the people around you.

Necker, designed and licensed by Semk, 2,079 yen. Available from branches of Loft.
