Morning Anger: Skullcandy Headphones

So I had some decent headphones, I forget what kind they were but I liked them.  Nice bass, good over all sound.  Didn’t suck.

I borked them.  Caught them in something and they ripped.  Okay, well I’ll get another pair.

We were at Best Buy getting something else…a game or something…and as we’re walking out I remembered that I needed a new pair of headphones.  Just the fact that I remembered is pretty good as I can’t remember a goddamned thing anymore.  We were near a skullcandy display.  Aha…I’ll get these.  Surely with a rockin’ name like Skullcandy I’m sure I’ll think I was swilling beer with Ozzy every time I listen to something through them.  Ozzy or not.

To put it mildly, this was not the case.   These headphones suck.

Look, I know that they’re pretty reasonably priced.  I think they were $30 or something near there.  Not too expensive, but hey…we’re trying to work over here.  I don’t have any f’ing money.  I’m poor as that guy you see on the corner pissing himself.  Only I don’t sit on the corner.  So $30 while not much to you champagne swilling socialites,  it’s a chunk to me. So I expect at least something reasonable for my money.

This is not the case with these headphones.  They are not reasonable.  If I wanted two am radios strapped to my head I’d buy a couple of fucking hello kitty radios and duct tape them to my noggin when I go to the gym.  Been a lot cheaper and hey…Hello Kitty, right?  I guess that the people at Skullcandy decided that sound quality at a reasonable price wasn’t part of their corporate ethos so they hired a donkey, a monkey and some guy named Bob who was on the corner pissing himself to create these headphones.  I hoped the donkey and monkey walked.

On a scale of 1-10 I’d give them about half of  star because you can hear the music.  Just sounds like it’s being piped in anally through some tin cans and a string on your head.
