Skullcandy Earbud Headphones

Music to your skull

I've been in the market for a while now concerning some headphones. I've been looking for something aftermarket, if you will... Skullcandy is that something. Skullcandy headphones are music to my ears... ney, music to my skull!

While I love, love my Sansa View... I am not crazy about the stock headphones that were provided with it when I bought it. Nor am I fan of the stock headphones provided with iPod's products either. Sure, they get the job done. They don't sound bad or anything. I just find then uncomfortable. I like Skullcandy's answer for ear buds!

So, what is so cool about my new, comfortable earbuds? Beside the fact that I can stand to keep them in my ear orifice for more than 10 minutes, they put out some super impressive sound. While blocking out other distracting noises and unwanted voices. What does the box have to say about this matter? On sentence that sells me every time. "Bass-Rich Noise Isolation Ear Buds."

The foam-like casing around the actual micro speakers are two fold amazing. They act as a natural noise canceling agent, as well as provide some super comfy padding. The speaker diameter is 11mm. The frequency range is 16-20K Hz, Impedance: 16 ohms. They also come with a Gold plated 3.5mm plug, so you get excellent sound transfer from your MP3 player or other electronic devices.

I'm kind of confused as to which set I have. I've recently seen them listed under "Full Metal Jack," no not like Gomer Pile. When I bought mine however.... the box says "Striker." Whether they are Skullcandy Full Metal Jack or Skullcandy Striker... I love them. Plus the black, zip, Skull pattern, Nylon carrying case is pretty sweet.

If you are in the market for some super high quality ear buds, and maybe don't want to spend the type of money it requires to get a pair of Bose headphones... I suggest you consider Skullcandy. It's a solid product. The company also seems to have a pretty decent consumer warranty on their products.

Got a new Sansa View!

MP3 MUSIC PLAYER

Today, I was fortunate enough to come into a little unforeseen money from work. I have been acquiring Best Buy gift cards for a while now (birthday, Christmas), in hopes of buying a solid MP3 player. I think I hit it right on the money. I headed over with gift cards in hand to Best Buy. I investigated all the MP3 players they had in stock, for a good 20 minutes or so. I had already done prior online research.

I asked around about the all the players. This seemed to be the best non-Apple MP3 product for the money! It has all the features I want, and then some. I wanted to make sure to avoid getting any form of Apple iPods. I have several friends and a family member who have had trouble the iPod's scrolling mechanism. When they ask for this to be made right, they are met with shrugs from Apple. They are told to buy a new one. BUY A NEW ONE?! No thank you. Apple lost me as customer... (they would have had me if I had never heard of this problem).

The Sansa View

This is an awesome MP3 player! It has video, music, photos, FM radio, and a bunch of other stuff that I most likely will never use. I got the 16GB version, due to large amounts of CDs that I need to convert to music files.

I have around 300 CDs, give or take, that are bulky and inefficient. I don't like keeping them in my car, but also like to have variety. The Sansa View was my perfect solution! It was time for me to embrace today's technology. Do your research on this bad boy, it's the BEST MP3 player you'll find for the money!
