I've been drooling over earphones on cnet but cant seem to decide which is best and affordable. I am looking to purchase earphones for my boyfriends birthday. He likes to jog and so I want to find something that will sound good (he listens to indie and hip hop and all that lays in between). I would love to find earphones that can also be used during travel so as close to noise cancelling as it can get without being actual noise canceling headphones as well as the ability to make it sound good but hear his surroundings (i do not want him to get hit by a car). These are the ones I'm looking at, any thoughts? http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/skullcandy-full-metal-jacket/4505-7877_7-3339 7065.html http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/skullcandy-chops-headphones/4505-7877_7-33632 123.html http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9251061&type=product&id=1218071976 475 Thanks SO much |
