Skullcandy and Metallica have teamed up to create these absolutely metal headphones, showing the world just how into a burned out, old-man rock band you are. Ride the lightning, bro! My recommendation: steal them, just like you steal Metallica’s music (OK, don’t really steal stuff, but still, screw Metallica). [Pocket Lint via SlipperyBrick]
These new SkullCandy Double Agent headphones are awesome because they directly read from an SD card, without the price of Bluetooth headphones or the need for an MP3 player. They hold any size SD card, feature a rechargable battery, come in three colours, and have side controls. How or why these were kept so low profile during CES, I do not know. But this is a neat piece of tech that makes good use of a simple idea. The Double Agent headphones are expected to ship in Spring 2008. [Ubergizmo]
If you’re searching for MP3-playing wristwear that’s a bit more eye catching than nTren’s MP3 watches from earlier today, Skullcandy’s new Bully line looks pretty snazzy. Actually, aesthetics are the real reason to drop $US200 on this MP3-playing, voice-recording set, since it lacks a bit in the features department: It doesn’t have Bluetooth, like nTren’s, and doesn’t appear to sport an update to the guts in Skullcandy’s year-old MacGyver piece, since it still only holds a gig of tracks. But if you wanted a plain or nerdy watch, you’d look elsewhere, right? [Skullcandy via Crave] More »
