These were a gift from the fiancee two years ago, and as much as I took care of them, they finally died a natural death after serving me well on many, many travels. Annoyingly, they chose to die when I was on a 3hr train ride from Toronto to Kingston, so I couldn’t watch as many episodes of How I Met Your Mother as I would’ve liked.

Anyway, enter the replacements:

They’re called Skullcandy earphones and came recommended at the store. They are admittedly a little cutesy (the red bits has a small skull on them), but the sound quality isn’t bad. The bass is a little stronger than I’m used to from the Audiotechnica ones, but all in all it’s pretty decent. That said, I’m probably still going to buy an Audiotechnica set when I find them (Kingston is too small to have a big electronics place). The difference between a $25 pair of earphones and a $100+ one is still detectable.

In the meantime, if anyone has any recommendations, let’s hear them! I don’t need active noise cancellation, but in-ear ones that block out noise will be good enough. Basically as long as I can walk down the street and not hear random conversations, it’s fine! Thank you in advance.
