= Djeans = Djeans (pronounced "jeans") was a clothing brand for teens and young adults sold between 2003 and 2006. The brand is most well known for its line of "rock-enabled duds", denim pants that had built in digital audio players.

History
Following the success of the Apple iPod in 2001, many commentators predicted a "wearable revolution" that would lead to technology being seamlessly blended with everyday life. In 2003 Djeans, founded by a number of former Dot-com executives, attempted to capitalize on this trend by introducing a pair of jeans called the Djeans J2s. The J2s featured a pouch, located on the left leg, in which a small media player was installed; the player had two buttons, play/pause and skip, and could hold two songs (hence the name J2). The player was designed to be operated through a layer of fabric and advertisements showed teens "rocking out" by slapping its pouch.

The original J2s did not allow for the included songs to be changed and were sold in preset combinations, which included "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma" by Nelly, "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne, and "Too Bad" and "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. The Djeans J300s, introduced in 2004, allowed the user to upload up to 10 MP3s of their choice, but were limited to 30 seconds per file. The low bitrate of both models' audio players and the muffling effect of the denim surrounding them led to complaints about audio quality.

In late 2004 the Christian advocacy group Mothers Against Profane Influences organized a boycott of Djeans due to rumors that they would unexpectedly play satanic music. The boycott was cancelled after the Mythbusters showed the associated behavior was due to the digital audio player not being removed from its pouch before the jeans were put in the washing machine.
