Personally, I’m a total audio freak, so nothing short of headphones I can’t possibly afford will satisfy my soundlust.
But if you’re in the market for affordable phones, you could do worse than EarPollution’s Ronin.
They’re $50, and you generally get what you pay for, but I do have this to say about them. I set The Thing with Two Heads (grindhouse greatness and the best study on race relations ever, check it out) up to stream on Netflix Instant, put my headphones on, and switched tabs to do some other internet searching because I can’t stand the ten second wait. When the MGM lion growl came through the ear cups, my heart dropped at the deep, snarling bass.
Girls also seem to dig this crazy Icee design (blue raspberry > cherry). I am basing this study solely on a certain female who has pretty much appropriated these as her own property.
You (or she) can buy a pair of the DJ-style headphones for yourself for $49.99. While the website promises a “katana-proof cord” (these are called Ronins, after all), I think they’re probably just kidding. As soon as I can find a katana, I will let you know.
These Headphones Aren’t Delicious, They Just Look That Way
Affordable, decent headphones that also come in normal colors like black.
