I had a guy come into my store wearing some earbuds that had a bit of a cool look to them, so I asked what they were. His response:
"Oh, they're called Bones."
As he says it, he gets a bit of that shifty, uncomfortable body language that people get when they're embarassed to admit something, and quickly adds:
"I usually get Skullcandys. These aren't as good, but they'll do."
I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Not as good as Skullcandys? They must sound horrifying, because all the Skullcandys that I've listened to had the muddiest, most bloated bass I've ever heard, grating, painful highs, and an unrealistic sounding midrange.
