the $15.95 over basic cable is smoke and mirrors...

The $15.95 figure (plus $13 for basic) gets you a HD DVR, 16 SD channels and 5 local HD channels.

But to get all the HD channels including the 3 new ones, Insight requires you to upgrade to classic cable ($29 for 55 SD channels), the HD Pak ($7.95 for 5 national channels, and $12 digital pak (81 SD channels).

This racks up a total of $77.90. For a total of 8 National HDs, 5 Local HDs, and 152 SDs that I'll hardly ever watch.

Thats $51.90 over basic cable to get all of Insight's HD channels. Pretty riduculous.
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!"
