You tried taking some RE0's and putting glitter and stickers on them? They would look about the same. Maybe tape some fake bullets for good measures.

Folex, that was mean.

Seriously, though - what do you like about the skullcandy appearance? Color? Pattern? Overall size? Shininess? It's hard to make earbuds that really STAND OUT because they have to be so tiny.

Give us some more info so we can help.

 

[nerdygangster]

lol I think color and shininess are the keys
idk why, but the good earbuds are always black/white, I mean come on! They can definitely do better than this lol

^ man I sounded silly...

Also sound great.

Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi. The non-mic version is selling for $190 on Amazon. They went for $99 a while ago, might be able to find them in the mid 100's.

^ mind sharing the name of the brand?

 

[nerdygangster]

ohh also, is V-moda any good?
thanks

Silver metal headphones from Meelectronics or Maximo look pretty impressive. They have the additional benefit of great sound. Look at these:

MEElec.com - Ultimate Sound in Style! Earphones, Media Players, Mobile and Gaming Accessories, and Much More!

Maximo Products / Earphones

Best post I've read on this forum yet hahah. I was gonna mention the Shure 530's but you said your budget was $80. I always thought the shure's looked dope. As for your question why not have a look at this thread:

There are tons of pictures of IEM's there thanks to jokers good work.

If you're looking for something ostentatious that sounds decent, you could probably pick up a pair of Monster Turbines on the FS threads here used.

Wait, shouldn't this be in the portable and IEM thread?
