Watch out, next engadget will convert all non high-ranked posts to upside down ones.
aww snap FIRST!!! and i was first on a PC not a mac.
Starting to notice a theme of really expensive stuff recently :P... Mac displays, boutique pcs.. $2000 umpc etc etc.
Ahh the day when I can leave my Ferrari unlocked, running with a sack of diamonds in the back and not have to worry.
so all the filthy rich apple tree huggers are gonna splash their cash on something worth far more than their crappy iphone and ipod so they can im filthy rich look at me, cough
No, they would most likely blind you totally with these headphones and iPhone..
Why don't you just go ahead and admit to everyone you had a Mac? You're effectively doing the same thing.
I owned a Dell XPS 17" "portable desktop" that I spent $500+ more on than my current Macbook. What kind of product did I get? A piece of sh!t that has sound that works when it wants, freezes constantly, only stays on if it's plugged in, and gets so hot that it warped the desk it was on top of.
So if I'm a "filthy rich tree hugger" because I'm tired of the well over-priced pieces of sh!t that Dell and HP put out, then please, by all means call me so.
Ahh what a shame, they look really nice but unfortunately I'm in the market for something with at least 60 diamonds (per bud)!
"Ma'am, if you're looking for the sci-fi convention, it's in Hall B"
So instead of spending that cash on something actually worth it, say a diamond encrusted can opener or a golden toilet, someone's gonna waste their money on earbuds with tacky white cables. They could have at least had the dangling cables dipped in gold or something. Even slap the Monster Cable logo on them for crying out loud. I mean come on, make them worth it!
I can re-invest all my 401k losses into this product...
I'll get one!
Maybe they should find a hand model with clean hands! Looks like they just came in from changing out brake shoes.
i can now hear bling bling
If you touch these do you get old lady hands?
These things scream I'm incredibly rich and stupid!!!
"I am a superstar with a big big house and a big big car, I am a superstar and I don't care who you are".
these hands are disgusting, does anyone have any lotion they can borrow
Not too attractive no, but it's suppose to make the filthy rich identify I guess?
I understand they stand out better against dead people's hands, but that slightly deters my "wish" to buy them.
Useless when you trip and snap the cord right off. 3,499 gone.
useless... *sigh*
With this, your wife can't say "no".
sooooo worth it!
Sure they are expensive and all but whoaa do they look ugly @__@.I'd rather buy some other ear-phones..Couldnt they make it more stylish >_>
this diamond covered swarovski, golden gadget bullshit is a form of masturbation
This is what the hedge funds are giving their laid-off managers as parting gifts. They also work great as earplugs as their neighbors curse them for ruining their retirement funds.
The question is, will they blend?
(obviously not, don't be pedantic with me!)
Gold is not a strong metal, it would certainly blend into a a handful of diamonds and some shiny residue, in fact the flying diamonds might aid in the shredding.
I take it these fit in your Swar-earski's?
Question? what happens when the headphones blow out?
If you can afford these once, you can afford them twice. Unless you are/were a banker, that is.
Buy a dozen from your bailout money.
I could make them myself. But its easier to buy them. Wheres the money?
I'd get the ultimate ears UE-11 earphones.
These aren't even in-ears!!!
Anyone who buys these is an asshole.
But do they add +5 strength?
