Has anyone seen this movie? Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character had these cans with metal top that I am trying to figure out what they were. Does anyone know by any chance?

Edit: found a pic

Yeah, they're a hipster thing apparently..Urban Outfitters carries them nation wide, to my knowledge. No idea how they sound though.

Ahh ok thanks. At first I thought they were some kind of Audio Technica cans.

They don't sound too great. I saw a girl on the bus wearing one of the middle grade red ones that the company makes. In her own words, "They're way better than my Skullcandy's!"

I hoped to god that she was right and tried them on. They're actually pretty trippy looking, and they were comfortable too, but the sound quality just screamed standard consumer product. I find them to be attractive headphones; different and striking, but not too gaudy like the Skullcandy lineup.

I was wondering the same thing when i saw the movie. They look VERY similar to old Stax SR5-NB Gold's which I used to have. Very sexy phones. Also remind me of some old-school studio phones, or orthodynamics.

Funny that a company sells these things now, when you could get some real vintage phones on ebay for dirt cheap, which would probably sound decent.

"Better than skullcandy" is similar to asking if its "Better than having an LRAD screaming in your ears"

LRAD : Long Range Acoustic Device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is anything worse than skullcandies?

 

[ethan961]

This is why I curse head-fi, whenever I see someone wearing cans I just HAVE to figure out what they are. 90% of the time they are Sony, of course, with the odd SkullCandy in the mix.
I long for the day I see someone wearing ATs or Grados

WESC - Multi Bongo Premium Headphones - Black - Turntablelab.com

Apparently the "bongo" headphones have drivers that are made from Sennheiser. Im curious to try them out. I love the look!

Wow some of these can really give Skullcandy a run for their money in terms of Uber Fugliness

 

[bbryann]
