These Paul Smith Limited Audio Technica Headphones are very, very shiny apparently since it comes in a gold and aluminum housing and 3.5mm gold plated connectors.

What I totally love about the headphones is its sleek simplicity and understated fashion. I just hope they come in different colors, too. Or maybe in their trade-mark pin-stripe design.

And of course, since this headphones comes with the Paul Smith tag, it also comes with a very expensive price tag! Considering that you’re not really sure of how the sound quality is going to be, $230 for a headphones is pretty steep!

Price: £140.00 or $230

I wonder when these headphones will ever come out in the public market. Or if it ever will!

I just love it that gadgets are so wearable now.

I’ve been lusting after Skullcandy headphones since last year and I’m so happy that it has finally, and officially reached the Philippine shores.

And I’m even happier that I’ve FINALLY succumbed to buying one for myself yesterday!

I’ve been seeing Skullcandy headphones in Apple stores recently and it has taken ALL of my willpower not to buy one. I wasn’t so sure if it was going to be a joy purchase that I might end up regretting.

But a new clothes store opened up near our office and they carry Skullcandy headphones. I pass by it every single day and I guess my willpower just wore out, hahaha.

Anyway, on to the review!

Looks
There’s no doubt that these headphones are the sweetest looking, most fashionable headphones I’ve ever since. I don’t know how they did it, but you just want to own one when you look at the headphones. They have a wide variety of designs, too. You can check them out at Skullcandy. I wanted a pink one (why am I not surprised!?!) but they didn’t have stock. Anyway, purple is one of my favorite colors, too!

Comfort
I was testing the headphones out yesterday and I probably wore them for around 4 hours straight. No painful ears! Very comfortable! And this coming from a girl who absolutely hates the feeling of anything squishing her head or her ears.

Sound Quality
For Php 2,000 (that’s around $45.00), the sound quality isn’t so bad. The quality is actually above average. But if you’re going to compare it to any Bose or JBL headphones, then you will be extremely disappointed. But he-llo, that comparison is just simply ridiculous! That’s like comparing a Honda to a Mercedez Benz! (No offense to Honda fanatics, hehe)

Anyway, I tested out the bass using Trance Bass – THX Ultimate Subwoofer Test (it’s an mp3 file, just google it or search over Lime Wire). I played the song at max volume and I’m happy to say that the bass didn’t crack at all! But in my opinion, the bass could still go lower.

I also tested the clarity using Virtual Barbershop and I actually cringed when “he was snipping near my ears”, haha. So I guess that’s a good thing!

So all in all, I’m pretty much happy with my purchase! I’m actually still giddy about it actually, haha!
