Got news that Jade Gift Shop over at Century Square was stocking SkullCandy merchandise on its shelves, and I HAD to go check it out.
Kudos to Syik for the heads-up. XD
Here's the result of my latest splurge fest. =P
Presenting to you the SkullCandy iCon Headphones Gift Pack, which includes an exclusive SkullCandy chain and bandanna.
That was the package, pre-mutilation. Heh.
And here we have it unpackaged.
The headphones. I decided to go for simplicity this time.
Interchangeable ear cup covers. Purple? Thinking twice 'bout that.
Warranty info + Stencil which I already have from the last one I bought which was the G.I.
The necklace. Heh.
Warning pamphlet on excessive audio levels. Bleh.
Tried it on for size just now. Very, very light, and in no way cumbersome like the G.I. (The G.I. still owns in the rugged looks department, though) Great for a relatively active lifestyle and if you want to put on your headphones without using both hands. Minor, but it's still a factor in my book.
The sound's pretty awesome. Better than the G.I, I must say. I didn't have to boost the volume on my PSP all the way up just to get satisfactory sound, though I think it still could have been fixed to do better. Plus the noise isn't isolated to just your ears, so if you're the considerate type, try and take note of this 'cos anyone within ten metres of you will be able to hear whatever you're listening to. Yes, even if you're listening to The Ting Tings. (Ooh, burn!)
There you go, the SkullCandy iCon.
