The audio quality is nothing to write home about. You also have the option of using your own earphones by connecting them directly to the iPod's earphone port. The entire battery pack can be clipped to your belt with the removable clip provided. But here’s the problem, the front panel is a bit to lucid and if you happen be on the move it could slid open releasing your iPod. That’s not good, since there’s no locking mechanism for the casing.

The good thing is the myvu comes fully equipped with a normal wall socket charger and a car charger. What’s also included with the kit are 2 more nose clips and 2 pairs or earphone rubbers. Why it would have a car kit I’m not sure, I wouldn’t want to imply anything, if you catch my drift. So presumably it’s for charging the kit while traveling. But the whole kit can conveniently be carried around in a cool case that’s also provided. It even has a space for carrying your iPod.

The Bottom Line
The bottom line is - this is just another rich man’s accessory for the iPod. At Rs. 22,000, if you can afford it, it may be a cool gadget to add to your collection but other than just that, I don’t see any major use for it. Even though it would prevent people from looking over your shoulder all the time, the myvu would make them stare at you directly. But if you aim to use it around the house, that would be a wiser move, just keep the price in mind.
