WTF, I don't think there are any Oakley's that cost that much anymore. Are you talkin about the "M Frame" that was all the rage with hair-metal bands in the early 90's? :lmao:

I myself wouldn't pay more than $150 for Oakleys, because glass beats plastic in terms of clarity anyday. Maui Jim FTW!!!!!!!

I had m-frames back in the early 90's....... orig. frogskins......man they're worth bucks now....

oakley juliets w/ x-man lenses (glass lenses vs plastic) is what i paid the big $ for. i priced oakley perscription glasses at over $600, but i only need them for readers so Z said no.

Oakley makes glass lenses now? :scratch:

i think they're glass, dunno. when i was buying those glasses they had an article from an airplane mag that placed them at the top of clarity, ie independant testing.

fyi, oakley is now making Revo glasses, and i'm diggin them, they fit my big round head great!

skullCandy FMJ review: got them for $35 vs $70 regularly.

they are decent looking, i got grey w/ white lettering
seem pretty well built

noise cancelling is pretty good, afraid they cancel too much out for office use.

sounds is good, a little basey, more then i like. but overall decent.

for $35 they're a good deal, don't think at $70 they'd be that great a deal.

Do you remember what size covers came on the headphones? I lost mine and I think my mother tossed my extras or put them somewhere when babysitting one night.

They don't sound half as good with the covers off. I can't buy replacements in store which sucks. I will need to order some online at some point but I need to figure out what size I had on it so I can order just that size.

Thanks
James

Thanks. If not I will check the ones are work on Thursday. I forgot to do that the other day.

I'm not sure about the amount of noise reduction on the Shure e3s.

Speaking of noise reduction I tried on the Bose comfort 15 headphones and I'm really impressed with the amount of sound they block out.
