Monster - a company best known for its high-end A/V cables and its lavish Consumer Electronics Show parties - has started selling iFreePlay, a set of foldable earphones with an integrated dock for Apple's second-generation iPod Shuffle.

Monster iFreePlay: with added Shuffle

The headset weighs a mere 46g, though plugging in a Shuffle adds a further 16g to the total - still pretty light, though.

Numbers nuts will want to know that the iFreePlay has a maximum power output of 20mW, a sensitivity of 110dB/mW and an impedance of 32Ohm.
