Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
The unit pictured here is the old HR10-250 DirecTV is phasing out. Hopefully the new one will be more attractive. At least it didn't have a 1000 candlepower blue LED on the face.
I resisted TiVo when they first came out mostly because of having to pay a subscription fee just to use it, especially after forking a sizable chunk to buy it in the first place. I eventually got one w/ DirecTV because the fee was basically also considered an HD access fee as well.
After falling in love w/ it I was pretty bummed about having to give it up for the HR2x turds they forced on us. While they have improved the firmware some they still have fundamental issues w/ design and build quality. Both of mine require constant, sometimes daily, rebooting.
