Geek Chic Part 2: The Right Headphones… (A lot like Finding the Right Boyfriend)
RIP SkullCandy Headphones
In my previous posts on the subject, I have compared headphones to boyfriends. This metaphor lives on.
Crappy headphones are easy to come by.
Great, even wonderful headphones tend to be few and far between [Bloggers Note: This also applies to boyfriends.]
For example, take the pink skullcandy TI’s that have recently passed (RIP). After these pink beauties moved on to that “better place” where many of our gadgets are sent, I realized something.
It’s time to buy a new pair and not feel guilty about it! So I rallied up the tech recessionista in myself and picked out a pair that won’t break the bank, and will allow you to still get your hair colored this month.
The result? Zumreed Dream Color Headphones. $59.99. These < $100 babies fulfilled what I was really looking for:
1) Size: I do not want to look like a martian, or a boy.
2) Color: I am a girl and would like them to at least be acceptable to wear in public.
3) Comfort: Please do not smash my head.
4) Sound: Please sound halfway decent and block out all the people around me.
With my new Zumreed Headphones
In the end, all of these things + additional points on the cool factor scale were added because they shipped from Japan. bonus.
