So my Skull Candy Smokin' Buds crapped out yesterday after fewer than 6 months of use, and I found myself in need of a new set of headphones. Rather than go with more earbuds, the last 2 pairs of which have been rather disappointing in terms of sound and durability, I decided to spend an extra $15 at Target and get some real 'phones. I love the colour, but it doesn't really go with my Incredible Hulk t-shirt. The sound is a million times better than my previous buds, although some dude who actually might know what he's talking about says the high and low end of the RP-HTX7's are a little harsh and they need some EQ'ing to make the most of them. Whatever--I don't even need to listen to music, I'll just stand in front of the mirror and imagine myself directing air traffic at some sort of retro-futuristic slime green airport.RATING: headphones: 80%
bags under eyes from late night+ 6 beer: priceless

aer you a modle
I like that you didn't tag it with "music" or "headphones" or anything remotely sound related. Actually this might be a helpful review because I have been looking for decent headphones for a long time. I'm damn concerned about what the Apple ear buds are doing to my hearing (esp. since I basically have them in every minute I'm not speaking with another human being), and I need something to drown out the subway sounds, but I'm still not sure if I'm ready to be the girl on the subway with the big headphones. Maybe when my current ear buds die we'll find out the answer to that question.
They're definitely good for blocking out ambient noise. I'm pumped to use them in the UTD library, as much as I love the soothing sounds of power drills, excavators and Cantonese.
I guess I should have tagged these "music," eh? All the music tags were associated with dates, so I took a more fashion-oriented tack.
You're cute in the same way as my ass is cute.
Unless your name is Chris Loll, you can go fuck yourself.
Maybe that person has a very cute ass, who knows.
Also, I really don't like ear buds, so I'm always buying headphones no matter how uncool I might look jogging down the street in garnet and gold shorts, a purple and orange shirt, bright green shoes, and huge headphones.
I think I allowed for that possibility: see my previous comment.
Yeah, I bought a pair of cheap buds for the gym because I don't want to sweat onto my nice new headphones. The kind of 'phones I can't stand are the ones that just sit against your ear rather than covering it or sticking in it.
Why is Chris allowed to say that ass comment. Are you saying that Chris has a cute ass? Sounds like somebody has a little man crush on Chris Loll.
Laurie, you solved the mystery!
That was one of those jokes that are only funny when you don't dissect them line by line. I was actually hoping it was a girl who wrote that.
I bought skull candy earbuds for $10 somehow and LOVED them. I still have the extra rubber earbud part, but the actually 'phones are lost forever to American Airlines. I don't even have a Discman anymore....
My beef with the skull candy buds was that the cord was made out of a rubbery, stretchy material, but the wires inside it were not. Even my pathetic gym workouts were too much for the poor things.
Honey, you may have found your last two pairs of buds disappointing, but guess what?---I find you disappointing. What happened to the lean, sexy man I fell in love with all those years ago? Don't you remember the good times we had? The rock. The tango. The jitterbug. And, yes even the occasional Pavarotti. Those memories give me vibrations like I haven't felt in years. But now look at you. How dare you be disappointed in me. Jerkface!
I'm sorry, you must have me confused with some other body. I'm always sexy, and never lean. How many heads have you been on in the last few years, anyway? When's the last time you got checked for jitterbugs?
Come on pal, you have to admit you're not a good looking guy. No shame in that though. Hell I look like a horses ass and it doesn't bother me.
McTavish? McTavish, is that you? It's okay. You can go by another name for a few days, but then, you should come out of your clos... I mean shell once and for all!
I truly miss you!
I don't know who you're talking to. I came in second on Scottish Canada's Next Top Model last year. Out of over fifteen contestants (nearly the whole town!)--girls, guys, sheep, and knotholes.
I like to think I have what Janet Lewis, writing in The Wife of Martin Guerre called "a kind of ugliness that is very fine in a man."
But in today's metrosexual world, I probably am a bit Shrek-like. It doesn't really bother me, though. Better an ogre than a troll, I always say.
Actually, I like the green headphones with the green t. That works for me.
Re: John's appearance. Who fucking cares if John is a supermodel? He already has a hot wife.
Awww, laurie. Are you greasing me up for a maple package?
That sounds so dirty! haha
My apologies to Robyn for my low class behavior towards John. I do this only because most of the ladies that I've dated look a lot like him (my tastes are modest). These ladies have all been mean to me, so naturally I'm taking revenge on their lookalike.
@anon: lol!
Robyn: I am anxiously awaiting my maple package. hehe...that is dirty.
@laurie
Pssst! I know Robyn very well and I feel obligated to tell you that "maple package" is the nickname that she uses for John.
hahaha...gross.
I've totally got those earphones on all lopsided, eh? It took me like 3 days to figure out that both sides are adjustable.
Where've you been, anyway?
You had to go all the way to Antigonish just to go to Tim Horton's? Jesus, man, where do you live normally?
They don't have Tim Hortons in Calgary?
Say, you're not one of those people who voted for Nickelback's "Fans' Choice" Juno are you?
Don't fucking lie to me, either.
Look at this! McTavish and I.J. are bonding! Slowly, a seed of peace is planted.
Hey. What the fuck is Tim Horton's?
What is going on here?
I don't know. McTavish, like, evaporated. That's sad.
Oh shit la, it's the old "disappearing Scotsman" trick.
Maybe the voices in his head told him that if he ever posted on R3 again, they'd kill him, but he loved us so much that he just had to come back one more time to tell us how much he likes Tim Horton's and hates Nickleback.
Take note, lads. There goes a real man.
