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!"
This has put an end to the format war.
My God, always the trolls posting first. Crazy. Get a job.
At $800-$1000?
The biggest problem is the anti consumer decision to have a format war - now if dual format players win out, retailers have to stock both formats, and a "cold war" continues. Not to mention consumers have to pay for licensing for BOTH formats.
