How do I look?

I was in one of my local Radio Shack stores today (a "re-designed" one --- they've closed the others) and I saw the rather extensive and new display for Beats headphones, speakers and accessories. There were about 8 different styles you could try on and listen to program material ("music", maybe?) --- the interesting thing was, all the headphones were displayed on round mirrors, sort of like how you look at and shop for sunglasses. So, I guess a lot more goes into the buying decision than how do they sound.

You look like you with overpriced headphones on.  Please tell me you didn't buy them!

 

philp

Of course I didn't buy them (even though they are quite the fashion statement). I really was just struck by the fact that someone in marketing decided that when trying on headphones it was a great idea to have a mirror available.

The Beats Headphones are definitely a fashion statement these days. I'm bewildered by the dozen-or-so people I see every time I go to the gym, sweating and pumping iron with those damned things on. They've gotta get very sweaty and grimy after only 15 minutes. I'm much, much happier with Sony EXR-90 earbuds -- which were the best Sony made a few years ago (about $100). Fantastic sound, very light weight, and tiny as can be.
