Barnes & Noble Intros NOOK-branded Headphones

btarunr · Apr 19, 2012

Barnes & Noble introduced a new pair of headphones bearing its NOOK brand, the NOOK Audio OE250. NOOK is its popular e-book reader and media tablet. BN was quite refrained in describing its new NOOK product, not much is known about it except what the picture describes it to be: a pair of around-ear headphones with a cushioned headband. This launch could indicate BN's NOOK brand increasing its focus beyond e-book distribution, and onto digital content distribution.

Barnes & Noble hasn't gone out of business yet?! Every single one of their stores around me closed months ago.

With the world of literature moving towards electronic distribution of books, it might be wise to slim down operations and focus on their digital infrastructure. I see more people with e-readers on the NYC subway than I do books.
