THis is the best news I've heard in a long, long time. I watched Soulja Boy's "performance" at the BET Awards last week. Wow. It was the worst disaster I've seen on TV. Considering the meaning of many of those lyrics I'm not surprised that the basic cable TV performance looked like a mime show...

Amy Winehouse-"Rehab".

Wow, I love how someone is branded a "troll" because they like Skullcandy. Nobody's ears are the same. One headphone may sound good to one person and sound like total crap to another. Please, do post a review once they come.

I'd get the Smokin buds. JVC gumy phones are crap. They're about the same as ibuds(open). At least the Smokin offer some isolation and are much more comfortable since they are in ear.

I'd say KSC 75 or Yuin buds would be the best in this case. Not sure how in ears would work for someone that young...

It's insane!! Last time I was driving by and there were kids getting out of school I was shocked to see elementary school kids with cell phones, ipods, etc. When I was in elementary school(I sound like an old man!) cell phones were still pretty much "brickphones" and the most modern phone was...

Cleveland, Ohio. WJW Radio. Alan Freed. The music may have existed before, but the name "rock and roll" was born in Cleveland. Without that, who knows what we would call that genre of music and what this thread would be called today.

One that covers his mouth!! (and maybe what's left of his nose = couldn't resist!)

The problem with BOSE is they are bad, for their price range. But if the "price" of the BOSE is FREE, then it's fantastic!! Anything other than cheap, stock earbuds for free is a win! And jonathanjong is right, sell them and buy something better. You can probably make a good profit by...

Who do you prefer? Britney Spears Christina Aguilera Why not just ask if we prefer Diarrhea or Vomit?

What kind of job do you have that you could wear headphones all day?? I'm sure Head-Fi'ers will be lined up around the block for that!!

Damn young people. Always scapegoated for everything!

I saw a dude today at my university's student center with a pair or Dr. Dre "Beats". Now these are supposed to be CLOSED, noise canceling headphones. But I could hear them from over 5 feet away! I heard it coming(and assumed it was someone with ibuds) and I heard it long after he passed.

Smokin Buds really are not that bad. The Skull Candy earbuds are actually good, for their price. And especially since the OP wants a "throw away" pair for the gym, these are perfect.

The 80s called, they want their fuglyphones back!!
