Dude, I found a banner of theirs on the net and posted up on the site because I thought their company would get good attention here. Well, their banner got a 3-4% click through (typical is .30) which means that lots of people were interested.

Well their advertising agency called and asked me to take it down!! Can you beleive that? I was promoting their product for FREE and their ad firm wanted it down....so stupid.

I can say "idiots!!" and in fact I did tell the guy that works for their advertising agency that. I said "You are being stupid, your banner is getting an awsome click through, put the banner back up on Designtechnica and show your client how well you are utilizing their money"

They said they would get back to me :(

dumb dumb dumb

BTW, I did some research and apparently these are about the best headphones on the market. Musicians like Madonna etc... use this brand head phones while on stage. They are supposed to be able to block out all background noise completely.

In fact they are trying to market a different line of these headphones to fitness gurus who listen to music at the gym, but if you rad the disclaimer it says they do not recommend using them while jogging because you will not hear anything in the background!! They are supposed to be used strictly in the gym.

Thats a question I as getting ready to ask...

For that price, how well do they cancel background noise.

Now it seems to make a lil more sense for the price tag.

But I would definately not to wear these while I go for a jog...while I'm jamming to my tunes I don't want to have a mac truck coming up behind me and I don't even know about it :-P

(Just an example)
