KAI - Check out the Frends line that they have on their site. Hugely popular with the girls these days and selling like crazy. Techcrunch has a great article on them: http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/23/gif...y-fashionista/

Happy shopping!
Hi PYB274, welcome to the tech talk forum.

1) Yes, I visited the website. They're a style/fashion accessory business. I know this because they told me:

Quote:
We started this store in July of 2013 because we wanted to create a space where Canadians could find highly fashionable headphones...
They have a community poll where they ask what the most important feature of headphones is. Choices:
- Style
- Comfort
- Quality
- Price

That tells me that if sound is important, I'd best look elsewhere.

If they carried any one of Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, AKG, PSB, Shure, Etymotic, or Beyerdynamic (hell even Denon or Sony) I'd concede that there was at least a possibility that they're in the business of selling audio equipment. But they don't and they aren't. They're selling fashion accessories.

2) ETA: I removed the V-Moda recommendation since I think this request was just Astroturfing.

But hey, those "Frends with Benefits" headphones are well reviewed by GoddessGaia, molly6708, and tacoprincess on Nordstroms, so I'm sure they're worth $250.
