more likely not born from what I've been
reading they even had older ones from
1996 and I look I got to tell you
Glastron that is such a good name and so
it's PlayStation and Walkman so why
can't they name their headphones
properly these still look rad today I I
these look incredible and even better
Dingus buds that cannot be changed you
are stuck with these dirty buds if they
ever explode it's game over so being
from 998 they're clearly not going to be
VR you know like back in the '90s mate
this is what highend Graphics look like
and yeah those are real skeletons let me
get the box it's got more clues yeah
that's a cool looking box Glastron oh
