If they were that good then why just a Warranty for 90 Days?

A 2 prong Airline cable?  As if any Airline now will allow you to carry them on and if you could I don't think they will allow you to use them in leiu of their $2.00 plastic headsets.

Can wait to fish a few of these outta the Airport trash cans.

woot gives 90 days with everything....


why wouldn't an airline let you carry them on with your mp3 player? they are just headphones, and you can bring walkman's and stuff on a plane.

Most airlines have basic headphone jcks in the seats now, and have no problem with you using your own headphones.
