They sound awful. The bass is so much that makes it muddy, mediocre mids and horrible highs.
But I do like those bolt headphones...I wouldn't use them for anything at all...but I like them.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Yeah, seriously. You guys every heard a pair of decent headphones?

You can even get the Sony sonic-equivalent of Beats for like $70. So unless you are a tween from the 'burbs trying to look street (wait, $300 headphones street?), why would you ever but them?]]>Dec 23rd 2009 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/]]>Dec 23rd 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Dec 23rd 2009 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Dec 23rd 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/
I too want one of these, i think it would make a great gag gift.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/I seem to remember Engadget branding that one 'offensive' when it originally posted about it...

It would make an excellent hand sanitizer dispenser.

If only it were touchless

if you wanna get "technical" HDMI or Anything other than fiber optics IS analog .. its just converted on both ends ...
end of discussion..]]>Dec 23rd 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Wow, are you serious brolin? Are you honestly trying to tell me that HDMI is an analog transmission interface? Seriously? I mean, seriously??? I'm a bit in shock you even said that. I hope you're joking. Just because the physical layer uses electricity (HDMI) rather than photons (fiber) doesn't make it any less digital. If it did, I'd be rocking a pretty killer analog PC. Let me know when those new fangled digital fiber optic PCs catch on.

Here's a quick rundown of common AV data transmission interfaces for ya:

Composite = analog
Component = analog
S-video = analog
HDMI = digital
S/PDIF (fiber or coax) = digital

Again, I hope you're joking.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/
i think you just misunderstood what he said, i think he meant that HDMI and fiber optic is digital.

on another note, i agree with this 100% that a digital signal gets there or doesnt, BUT i just did a test on my own and used a 60 dollar monster cable (dont get me started on how we got it) and a 15 dollar one. both myself my brother and my father noticed a difference. there was a lot of motion blur on the cheap cable and none on the expensive cable what gives? nothing changed but the cables and watched the same scene from a bluray. i just dont understand how there could be a difference. although this wasnt a blind test so tomorrow ill try that. ]]>Dec 25th 2009 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Dec 23rd 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Dec 23rd 2009 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Dec 23rd 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/23/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-stuff-you-dont-want/Sorry about that. I didn't notice. I just thought I'd share again as most people just don't know what they're talking about.
