To ask if you notice people with over the ear headphones,and if you laugh

[yousavedmybacon]

I really want some skullcandys, I do alot of walking listening to music with none of the dcs. But i prefer the over the ear types. Im worried that im going to look like a tool wearing them out and about :)

They remind me of daft teens who only use them as a fashion statement. Sorry :)

I would if you are over 19

hey, im twenty three and rock mine :] but if i wear them with my glasses i get a headache. They are a bit of a statement though, but who cares what other people think.

I'd like some of those as I hate those stupid fucking earbuds that fall out all the time but over ear ones make my glasses legs dig into my ears, otherwise I would get some so go for it if you want them, they are meant to be better for your hearing if you keep the volume reasonably low.

My ears are to little to take the put in types. Seriously considering this for that reason.

where I live a lot of over 18s wear them now but maybe mid 20s are you mid 20s cos i think you would get away with them ,

You will look like a twazzock bt it will be worth it because the sound is much better.

they look like complete numptys

Im 22, if this helps. but im tinnnnnny and probably will look like a teenage thinking their the bees knees until my Sd or ds tell them im infact not cool at all and make my own soup... x

had no idea this was problem! the in ear ones really bug me, i hate them.

Nice thread OP. I cannot wear in-ear types as my ear-holes are so tiny they hurt.

Seems I'm gonna look like a twat.

I like them. Research some more though, because whilst SkullCandys look cool as hell, I know so many people who've had pairs just fall apart after a few weeks.

I am 44 so maybe too old to give a flying fuck care!! I shall be ok with my gurt big headphones!!

What does it matter what anyone thinks? If you like them then get them.

ah i dont want them to fall apart, and twazzock is the best word thanks for that one! I am a very nervous person always feel like people are watching me from their cars/houses ect. But i really do want them, an i listen to music everywhere i go. Ive got gummy by JVC at the minute but they dont half hurt after a while

I have round the back of the neck ones which I hide under my hair.

I am way past 18!

Some people I know have got on fine with them, but I've heard a few horror stories...especially the Hesh style ones which are the ones people tend to go for. Sennheiser do great headphones.

MammaTJisanOlympicSumoWrestler I'm even older than you. Do you think it's possible to become so old you look cool?

Yes and yes, in answer to the op

But if you can't wear in-ear ones and don't mind looking a twazzock (new fave word) then why not

I shall continue doing some research on different types but have hinted for my birthday so may end up looking like a twazzock. but ill be doing it with good music on. What i find funny is that ill look like im trying to be uber cool then michael buble or hayley westenra will come blaring out my uber cool ears.

Nooooooooo not The Buble!!

i got bullied at school for liking michael buble when he first appeared on the music scene, lo and behold 3 years later everyone loved him and i felt slightly put out! went off him a bit after that. Im currently trying to make a playlist for birthday party of 4-7 year olds of stuff with no language/sexual reference in. Needless to say its not going well!

Why does anyone need to walk around with music in their ears all the time??

I worry that pedestrians, runners and cyclists cannot hear cars and so on.

[old git emoticon]

Ah, that sucks. Sorry I just can't bring myself to like him.

i wear skullcandys and im pretty sure i dont look like a twazzock!!!

depends on your style generally i think. if you are dressed in old lady clothed you may look odd with a paid of skullcandys, but if you are a jeans/converse/anything other than old lady dresser you should be able to pull it off.
