I'm guessing they're aimed at the Skullcandy/WESC market...

Kick it with the runway style and DJ sound of the TANK headphones. Designed for sonic domination, the TANK allows you to explore the full spectrum of sound from low, rumbling bass grooves and consistent mids to crisp highs. Ultra-thick cushions cocoon your ears, while the wide adjustable headband guarantees a perfect fit.


I'm going to go with 'bad' on this one.

I'm betting my 1980s AKG K240 Sextetts sound better. Cost me $50 for a beat up pair.

They're the new benchmark in bang/buck, beating out the beats studio by a hair.

Unless bang is taken literally, of course, in which case they probably do deliver quite a lot.

Who ever is making fun of these headphones but has never tried them is an idiot.

I actually find the designs to be highly derivative. The Tank looks quite a bit similar to the ATH-PRO500/700, while the Chopper 2 is almost a clone of the RP-HTX7. The Sumo is virtually identical to the MetroFi 150v.

I prefer the Royale Bourbon with its faux snakeskin headband.

Absolutely brilliant. However, I should let you know that Aerial 7 makes headphones with your name on it.

Although it's somewhat doubtful, if these actually do sound good I'll be happy to eat my hat, and I'll consider the purchase of that beanie headphone to replace it. I'm glad I don't own any hats.

Earpollution also makes an RP-HTX7 lookalike, the Throwbax . Must be an easily-sourced housing.

And boy, those Jokers are repulsive (and the girl modeling them doesn't look old enough to appear on the internet in her underwear). I would totally pick up a pair if they looked at least marginally wearable, but that is beyond my limits. And I wore my Earpollution Nerve Pipes outside without issue until they fell apart.
