Earbuds are for babies. I love my fairly cheap, on-the-ear headphones. My current Sony pair were never cool looking but I think they were money well spent. I walk around New Westminster wearing them. My phone is how I explore and keep up with music. I don't feel as though I need to be inconspicuous; I've never minded standing out (by looking like a douche) in a crowd. One of the only products I ever returned was a
Skullcandy set which sounded absolutely terrible. I bought the Sony MDR-XB400s right after that error and have had them for about 3 years. These trusty headphones even spent winters in Mexico and Egypt with me. They still work well but are getting a little tattered looking.

I decided to see what a new pair would cost. It seems as if the newer ones are called the XB450. I thought to snap a picture while uptown in the store. I have time to compare prices and check online too. I probably don't need the hands-free phone mic as I never get calls. While online, I noticed a few coloured ones were for sale. I like the classy blue.
