I recently stumbled upon these Qlasp Earbuds and they look like they could be hit or miss, anyone ever see these, or better, try these?

They are really comfy, I was suprised how well they stayed in. they don't hurt at all I can barley tell they are clipped on to my earlobes. They come with three different sizes of rubber inserts. Sound quality beats skullcandy ink'd, just make sure you turn the trebble down or you set your ipod to small speakers or it gets very trebbly lol. Hope this helps.Click for larger image

thats awesome. I've heard of kids putting Icons under their helmets, idk how thats done, I've still got to try it.

If that doesn't work out, I'm definitely getting a pair

i like the whole bit about flips
ive never tried these but i had the sony bumpin buds and they sounded a lot better than smokin buds or inked, but they broke after like 7-8 months, and i wanst even like agressive with them or anything
also i just don't like buds for skiing, cuz of comfort and they block noise, but i just got a pair of nixon whips a few weeks back and they are sick. supposed to be like the icons but more durable

Idk if its just me, but the ear buds and over ear headphones that skull candy make don't sound so good compared to my brother's bose's or my buddies monster beats

Anyone have any ideas on how to make a headphone extension that has either a volume control knob or a mute switch?

i've seen these but don't know what they're calle, basically its a female jack port, a small box, size of a button, with a mute button and vol controll, then a piece of like 3 inch cable and a male jack, so you plug your earphones/headphones in this thing and then plug this thing into your mp3....


whatever you do, don't try and cut the original cable and attach volume controlls yourself, the wires are double insulated and are ultra hard to attach, dare i say, impossible for a normal person without the right tools ...

also i found a way around double insulated wire, you burn the extra plastic and juck off with a lighter.

nah dude, you have a double cable for L and R, the core of the cable conducts the audiosignal and around that strand is a fine woven copper mass, so basically you have 2 cables, L and R and inside each cable you have a mass wrapped around a small copper cable, if you simply burn off excess material your woven mass thats wrapped around will touch the core and cause short circuit :(
fucked my icons that way, seriously, whatever you do, don't cut it and try n soldering it......
its virtually impossible without proper tools

Lol you don't understand what im saying, im not cutting the wire on my new headphones, period. I am simply trying to do this with an old male and female jack to make an extension for any headphones with a mute button in it, not cut my new headphone cable...
