Best Headphones so far....
The wire on my iPod headphones has been wearing away for some time, so I have been planning on retiring them at some point. Over the last year or so I have admired the Skullcandy headphones mostly for their slick designs but I have always held off.
Today I was in a Staples in NJ and noticed that they had a new version called the Smokin Ink'd Buds (I am linking to Google because for some reason they don't have them on their website) which were only $12.99. I figured that it couldn't hurt to try so I picked up a set of Blue Chrome buds.
There are very likely the best headphones I have ever used. The sound is rich and quite loud and I can feel the bass coming right through the headphones. There is also a set of three gel inserts that come in different sizes to give you a perfect fit for your specific ear shape, which also does an excellent job of blocking out the ambient noise around you (such as Newark airport where I am right now!)
In reading some reviews around the web many others seem to be in agreement with me, and also noted that their other ear buds (plain vanilla "Smokin Earbuds) sucked it hard. Not to mention they are between $24.99 and $26.99. They apparently come with an in-line control which is nice, but the overall sound quality was poor.
If you need some buds, and are willing to drop 12 bucks on trying some out, I would reccomend you pick up a pair. Also, they come in 5 or 6 decently cool colors (Blue, Green, White, Black, Pink...) with their skull logo on them.
Oh, Tara I got you a present too.... :)

Good call on the ear buds. I got them over the weekend and they are awesome. Your sister isn't too fond of them - i guess I shouldn't wear them all day long while i'm in the house sitting on the couch right next to her as she's talking to me about something that I'm sure is very, very important... Just kidding, but the earphones are really good. Later
Thanks for the recommendation on the ear buds. I picked the up at Target over the weekend and they work great. Your sister isn't too fond of them though, maybe it's because I wear them in the house, sitting on the couch next to her as she's talking to me about something that I'm sure is very, very important... (just kidding), but they do work great.
