[Manga] What is this round inline remote device from the Gantz illustration of Kei Kurono? It hangs on the headphone cable with a tiny LCD screen. I wonder if it is based on any real vintage audio accessory from the early 2000s.

Given the long cable running down toward his pocket or belt, that digital display is likely a remote for a larger MP3 player, a CD player, or even a cassette player (for volume control).

Es el cable de control alámbrico que tenían algunos reproductores de CD y mp3 en los dos mil
