Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
It shows again that the much cheaper HD DVD format is still far ahead of the BD format regarding the development status. That what BD promised 1 year ago was already possible with HD DVD players of the first generation release 04/2006.
Its really a shame that some major studios (e.g. Fox, Disney) did confirm their support at a very early stage. They did promised the marketing promised the BDA a made. That was a mistake. HD DVD is a great format for movie releases. No real need for BD-J.
The exclusive support of some studios to BD only will cost them a lot of money in a long term. I am not sure why they did not made a simple calculation on replication price costs. Also today BD is at lease 2-3 times more expensive in replication than an HD DVD and this will also be the case in 2 years! If a major studio will release 20 Mio. HD discs for example in 2009 this will cause a hugh lost if they decided to use the more expensive format.
Frankly speaking I do not know why the HD DVD PRG is not able to propper communicate the many advantages of their format for movie/audio purposes.
Anyway - BD has also many good thinks, but HD DVD is ready NOW, it's CHEAPER for the Studios and it's CHEAPER for the consumer without any major differences in interactivity or quality.
I think Sony did made a good job to convince the major studios for BD and make them blind for HD DVD.
