and if not ..what kind of mp3 players do they work with?
Personally i think they look really comfortable
im planning on getting the white one with the black star

Heyyy~ My friend from San Francisco has those! But we don't talk
much anymore. :/ Mikki, the ulzzang, has the same ones you want.
I think I'm going to go buy me one. >_> (( $23 seems cheap for it ))

haha yea...thats the reason i want them
i saw mikki wearing them
and it looks so cool! ...
someone on the zzang thread had a
link so i started some research
(ooh i just realized im a horrible trend follower)

slightly off topic but here are pictures

I had them. Honestly, don't get them. They're super uncomfortable and the sound isn't that great either... I'd rather get a sennheiser - it's uglier, but the sound is worlds apart.

omg really?
wow..thanx for telling me!
it would have been a waste of 50 dollars
-_____________-
thank you sooo much!

Oh, those are so hot. xD But considering what MINJI.v said, I'm rethinking on getting it now...

I'd like to think of them as a great alternative for whatever came with your mp3 player, rather than as an audiophile's choice for headphones.

Are those specs correct? If they are, thats downright terrible... 500-20000hz is like having almost no bass at all, the sensitivity rating of 90db is almost pretty poor and the power handling of 0.2 watts is just terrible...

Sennheiser's ftw.


I don't like this 20 char thing.

Look for Audio-Technica if you want SQ and somewhat good style.
Check ATH-FC7 and ATH-ES7.

ooh thanx!
i'll go check it out

Werd. Dish out that extra $100 and get a decent pair of headphones. Unless you're really just looking for something that looks pretty. But if you're concerned about sound quality, don't get those.

not too bad. but i would probably use those more for gaming or some sort. not listening to music haha

oh i saw these at the fobstyle thread ...they look really nice haha i want one just for fashion purposes HAHA (obviously im not going to buy them for that reason)

++

btw how do you find these on ebay?? i dont see them

they look soo cute. but i personally would not ever dare to wear those. i seem too... girly girl for that i think.

i searched mix style headphones
O_O
but there was only one result...only one person is selling them


i just searched up the frequency levels
and apparently these headphones have the
same frequency response as ipod earphones?
does that mean my earphones suck?

i also looked up audio technica and its not bad
the style isnt as ugly...but the price is 100 dollars more..
all i need to decide now is whether i should spend the money or not
oh and to one replyer up there ^^
i think i might be buying this for fashion purposes...
unless i can find a bettter headphone that looks just as cute

^ ah thanks i found them time to save up some money now

Well, if you're just going to be plugging into an iPod, I'd just suggest getting some decent headphones or earbuds. For most people, unless you're filthy rich, splurging on some industry quality top model Shure or Sennheisers is just overkill--an iPod isn't that great of a source so it'll just be a waste since you're just listening to some compressed audio in places with a lot of external ambient noise. You could probably pick up some Shure earbuds (e2c) for under $100 but if you're really interested in full sized cans that's a whole different story. I think you're more into the cute look than accurate sound reproduction though, and I don't blame you Cute cans...the headphones I mean Don't know about the quality though..looks like they might break easily?

Go lineout or get an iMod to replace the poor internal DAC?
Or normal iPod through headphone-out shouldn't be that bad; I've used e3c and er4p and the only complaint I had was the sensitivity/impedance match (resulting in slight hiss).

apparently the altec lansing im716 or something is just as good as high-end headphone brands. i personally prefer cans, using a pair of audio technica a700s, good sound although apparently the a900 is a lot better, but i personally couldn't hear the difference.

Altec Lansing dropped the im716, but yes, it was up there with mid-to-high end IEM market at a low price because it was a rebranded er4p with a different housing.

dammt hses are soo hot.. i want ems! maybe someone who has them can hook everyone up in the selling thread?

Yeah if you're going to get nice earphones, go with a reputable brand. These obviously focus on LOOKING nice, I think

They're pretty cute but I would never get them.
I hate those kinds of headphones cus they're so uncomfy.

Yeah I listened with them again. Let's just say they're worse than the iPod earphones (and that's saying quite a lot).

they're really prettty! haha i would get some, but im not sure if i can pull off wearing big headphones..

wow, looks nice.
funny how we used to have headphonese, smaller version of those, then it was those circle headphones, than the small i pod earphones//headphones and now it's to these huge headphones XD
ah confusing, yes i know.

They look comfortable though, looks cushiony XD

o.o they look so nice x) Kind
of want to get them now xD

OMG I WANT
*looks for them*

aghh i really want these!! do u guys know of similar looking ones but better quality?? i want the white one with the black star XD so cool!

would it work for the irivier mp3 mickey mouse one?

So from reading most the post I've seen about these babies,
I don't think I'll get them after all... =s but they are so cute! rawr~

oh no...i already ordered them and they're on the way...hopefully they won't be too bad from the replies here...>.<;;

I really want the ones with the pink background and black star.

god those headphones are mad sexy. i want me some >0<

oh dang, from what MINJI.v said, whatdaheckz. i would want them for fashion though, but would probably never get them if they're not any good. >_< dang. i really want one. so much for sexy and decent

they are so cute ! [;
espcially the stars on the side .<3

i own a pair of these ^^
i have the green ones with white stars
it has a regular output jack thingy.
so yeah its compatible with ipods (thats what i use mine for)
i love the base on it ^^
howver the oinly thing that i don't like about it, is the cord from the headphones.
it seems really thin and flimsy =/
like bad quality.
but other than that, i love these to death ^^

any idea if they sell this in Singapore?
it looks cute.

dude, those headphones look BOMB!

Yah! I want some headphones like those!! I've gone through more than a dozen headphones this year already..now i'm just looking for that perfect headphone But those thingys are pretty cheap! I wanna buy em! The skull one looks awesome!

Ahaha so cute and bigg!
I bought the metallic skull candy earphones when they first came out...EVERYONE HAS THEM NOW!!! ><"
They didnt have very good quality, i must say. The left side stopped working and they didn't muffle surronding sounds very well.

I know that the survey section had been selling these ear phones for a while. I'm not sure if I can remember who it was that sold them?

Those look really cool.
I wouldn't mind wearing earphones like that.

i have those headphones and im wearing them now typing this post^^

woah all theese replies see like its not a gud thing to buy. its alreadi ordered for me but they are out of stock s ogota wait. =[ hope they are gud,

their cute but I will spend my money on something else.

So cool.
I want one! So cute!

For headphones...I say Audio Technica cuz Micky Yoochun uses them.

j/k The brand is just wayyy too good. =)

Go with BOSE headphones...they rock. Sound quality is great, and they're definitely comfortable.

those are soo awesome! i see them around and they look so cool! though i probably wouldnt buy them
