ummmmm

Who is producing these?

They look eerily similar to the Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones, which may be the best headphones you can get for $90.

Anyone know if these are the same headphones only with a snazzier grenade paint job?

Eski,

How is the quality on the WESC/Sennheiser? I have been interested in those for awhile.

Well i love em . .really good sound quality with no real base distortion . . the cord cable is great as it doesnt tangle up, and the fact it splits in 2 so that it has just the right length to reach down to your jackets mp3 pocket is a nice touch that is of real benefit up the hill (in the picture you can see the cable when it is split). They are definitely on a par with my EH250's and HD205's

I also like the fact that they are really low profile so you dont look like a dumbass - i always think peeps rocking supersize cans is lame.

Plus the look the shiz - i bought 2 pairs just in case i lost one and they stop making them.

wow

Those WESC headphones are sick. I used to wear the MDR-V700s riding and quit because I hated the way giant headphones looked and the 8' cord got obnoxious too.

Do you think those WESC's are on par with the Sonys? What's the price on them?

I just ordered some little Skullcandys for riding with, but I'd like something for home use and travel.

I have never been a fan of sony so cant compare - but they are definitely a proper headphone with the added benefit of being designed by boarders to work well up the hill or out skating. They come in 5 colourways.
