Play your cards close to the chest and your music close to the ears. The Chops revolutionary design facilitates both.

Ink adds permanence. It forces the visual representation of an idea, concept, ideal or experience, and tangibly commemorates it. Like a tattoo, graffiti, or stretch marks. Until you're really ready to commit, go with the INK'D ear buds. Big sound, little price, no visible scarring.

You know you've made it when someone calls you an icon. It means you stand for something. It means you're darn near irreplaceable. It means that when somebody looks at you, they know you're the Best In Class, the Cat's Meow, you're Sick, you're Dope. We're getting off track. The Icon2 from Skullcandy is all of that... plus it is completely GRIMY.

Smokin' Buds are not the musical journey itself. They're more like a ticket to ride. Or an enjoyable travel companion who brought an extra super-comfy pillow and blanket just for you. Or a friendly little sprite who lives inside your ear, delivering mind-bending dots and loops to your brain while making sure your eyes don't wander off in two different directions while he buffalos your skull. Whatever they are, they sound delicious.

You always say, "...when we cross that bridge..." Are you referring metaphorically to consumption, the bridge between creation and destruction? If so, you should buy a dozen colors of Lowrider headphones right away. Your wardrobe needs candy paint to match all those sneakers. Don't be slippin'.

Fisticuffs with the boss could potentially be confused by some at the office as a sign of insubordination. Vigorous dancing on his desk with exotic facial contortions and frequent airborne double-bird fist pumping hand gestures while wearing Hesh headphones is probably a more diplomatic way of saying, "Leave me alone so I can rock again."

Precision-cut metal housings encapsulate a sound coming from deep within the TiTAN ear buds that resembles an army of unstoppable warrior giants marching in lockstep to the beat of your music to purge the earth of dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, yetis, and Klingons.

Meet the unruly 50/50 bud, a composite earphone that's half mic, half bud, and all boom. With superb fit and a beastly 11mm driver, the 50/50 pumps bass deeper than your bag of kickflip variables, and sounds richer than your dirty uncle. And unlike a sketchy 50/50 varial heel-flip, our 50/50 polycarbonate backside mashes the aluminum frontside in perfect symmetry. The Skullcandy 50/50: composite bud, killer odds.

No soldier on record has ever lost a battle while wearing the G.I. headphones. Ever.

A pair of mini-subwoofers against your skull makes the bass feel like a swarm attack by the renegades of funk, soldiers of Jah, hip-hop nation, and a 1970s version of the Kiss Army, all at once. So, no. Skullcrusher is not just a clever name.
