A while back now in April 2009, I was given some Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket (FMJ-11) headphones, following the Gadget Show Live (see here). I reviewed them after a five-minute fiddle, and initial impressions were that they are very good indeed – but what about after a quarter of a year of use?
Well, ongoing impressions are also that the headphones are excellent – they my de facto choice now from a bunch of headphones that I’ve tried with my iPhone, due to a combination of factors:
they are sturdy – no breakages, tears, or damage
they sound excellent
noise-isolation is very good
they have an integrated mic for taking calls
One thing I will say is that they are not the cheapest headphones on the market (in the UK at least), but searching around the web, you can find some decent discounts.
That said, what headphones do the IntoMobile Massive favour? Brands, Models, Spec, and prices please! Go on, leave us a comment on what you are using to pump music to your brain
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
