And it wasn't just the weekly political dramas, sexual harassment scandals or a massive security breach that affected nearly half the population that had us down. There was also a slew of terrible consumer devices that sullied our mood this year. Before we say goodbye to them, though, let's relive the horror one last time. Here's hoping that 2018 brings us better gadgets than this sorry lot. Even though Juicero technically debuted in 2016, it wasn't until 2017 that it met its epic end, and it's for that reason we're naming it one of the worst gadgets of the year.

Video game console company Atari has released a'Speakerhat' baseball cap with stereo speakers embedded inside. Atari, best known for its 1977 Atari 2600 home game console, says that the hat has high-fidelity stereo speakers and a microphone that can connect instantly to any Bluetooth-enabled device. The Speakerhat also has a multiplayer mode that will allow multiple Speakerhat users to pair up with one another and listen to the the same audio stream in sync. According to Atari, the wearable can connect to any smartphone, tablet or personal computer to play any music or other media content. The feature also allows for making and accepting phone calls and receiving voice commands.

Atari, the same company behind the Atari Computer System, has announced a new product called the Atari Speakerhat.

"Connect to any smartphone, tablet, personal computer to play any music or other media content, initiate or accept phone calls, receive voice commands, etc." The speakers are embedded right in the underside of the cap's bill/visor.
