Show & Tell/Package Design

Let's face it: earbuds are earbuds.  But panasonic finds a way to separate from themselves from the crowd:

How clever! The earbuds are packaged to look like music notes--and oddly enough they look like the music notes from the itunes logo...in fact panasonic seems to borrow a lot from apple here.  Lots of white space, sans serif font in a light grey color... Panasonic may loose points for originality but it's still a clever design that stands out on a shelf.
