I have squandered so much money on T-Mobile and their useless headphones. I love my Blackberry. I hate their headphones – they suck. It’s a slow deterioration: first the foam comes off one of the ear buds; then the second; then the plastic that’s left goes; and I’m stuck with metal ear buds that if I try to use them, I get shocked. But I’ll risk it until the inner part of the bud falls out and it’s just exposed wire. This little process has happened on the last four pairs of crap ear phones I’ve bought. And each time I then have to illegally use my speaker phone when I’m driving because you can’t hold a phone, per California law (oh and you better believe it that they’ll ticket you!). Plus, I drive with my windows down, so no one can hear me – they just hear the whoosh of L.A. traffic. But I refuse to go back to T-Mobile and drop another 20 bucks on something that will shock me and then die within two weeks of buying it.

Atomic9 Skull Headphones

And here goes the happy ending of my story: One of my fairy godmothers just gave me the best gift ever: Atomic 9 headphones.  I cannot tell you how much I love these things. First of all, they’re super-turbo amazing when it comes to sound – they block out ambient noise when I’m wearing them and whoever I’m talking to says it sounds like I’m in the same room. But they’re also uber cute: they come in a variety of Swarovski-blinged buds. I have skulls and the little slide thingy that holds the cords together is a little crossbones.   There are also fashionable cats, pandas, dragons and more. Plus they work in my BBerry, iPod, computer and anything else I want to listen to. And guess what? They’re only $40, which is a lot less than I’ve invested in the cost-two-cents-to-produce pieces of crap I’ve been using.
