Bro, check out my fresh Diddy headphones

January 21, 2010

Listen… they even contribute about as much to the headphone market as P. Diddy does to music! That’s real attention to detail.

The ever useless Puff Daddy Puffy P. Diddy His Almighty Didd-ness Diddy, who believes that he is so important that the public should be forced to learn his name multiple times throughout his “career” (for lack of a better word), is releasing his own line of headphones. UGH. The sad thing is that he will make money and even garner praise from this venture. All it takes in order for this to happen is a set of cheap plastic phones that pump out so much bass that the listener can’t tell if his Zune’s playing Tupac, Biggie or Deep Blue Something (Note: This is how Lil’ Did claims to have ended the East Coast/West Coast rap war). El Didderino is known for slapping his name on everything from vodka, to clothing, to car rims. All of which I’m sure he has no vested interest in beyond expanding his fortune.

His in-ear version of the unnecessarily popular Beats by Dr. Dre headphones will cost around $150 of your hard-earned money and contribute to the further degradation of quality in music reproduction. But, hey, it’s a small price to pay to look cool. Since you will inevitably ignore my warnings and give this idiot your money, here is a link to more information. Notice how there are no actual specs included- not that anyone would bother reading them anyway. Oh, but there are pretty pictures!

If you happen to be one of the few who actually care about what your music sounds like, read on for some of my suggested alternatives (WARNING: none of these headphones include Sean John carrying cases)…

For travel – Bose QuietComfort 3

For home stereo use – Grad0 SR325iS or Sennheiser HD-595

In-ear phones – Sure SE210 or Grado GR8

…and for the most natural sound of all
