Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket

The Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket model is a high-end earbud headphone set designed for users of all ages always on-the-go. According to Skullcandy the Full Metal ear-buds "are not officially the favorite ear bud of everyone on earth... but only the official favorite of people with ears". The headphones are designed with an in-the-ear, ear-bud style that is encompassed in a comfort inducing foam ear-bud cover; which comes included in the set as several different sizes to ensure a custom fit in a variety of ear canal volumes. The Full Metal Jacket headphone set is equipped with a pair of 11mm diameter small size driver units built to fit just inside the ear canal that Skullcandy claims will deliver "crystal clear mids and highs, and enough bass to rock a mule's *** to the moon". The Full Metal headphone set also features a 1.1m cable, a 3.5mm gold plated stereo plug, a max input power of 5mW, and comes available in several different colors. The Full Metal Jacket headphone set is also available built with a special plug for the iPhone and Blackberry curve. The set includes a small travel bag with the headphones and Skullcandy's COMPLY custom fit foam tips.
