My replacement iPod just came in the mail and is working perfectly, so I decided to order some new more durable headphones instead of fragile low fidelity earbuds. I ordered the Koss PortaPro Headphones which have gone through many different upgrades in performance the latest one not too long ago, the design however hasn't changed since 1984. The design consists of a metal strip over your head and metal circles on the headphones themselves as well as a small pad that fits over the temple and can be adjusted in how hard it presses on them to suit your comfort. It has a pretty cool blue trimming and all in all looks retro and wearing them confidently will definently prove you don't have a self esteem problem (unless of course you wear them specifically to prove that). I will be writing a breif review of them as soon as I get a week or so to listen to them on my iPod as well as with my big ass sony cd console and using dvds ranging in sound quality and maybe one or two games although the tv that is connected to my ps3 doesn't have a heaphone jack so they will all have to be relatively old games as they will have to run on the 64mb integrated cpu graphics capabilities in my macbook. I was convinced to buy these because of the boasting of sound quality by reviewing sites particularly the review by cnet who I am very confident in.
