Default Newegg Shellshocker headphones...any good for PSP/MP3?
This deal is gonna start in less than an hour. Anyone have input as to whether or not these are decent headphones for PSP/MP3 use?

http://promotions.newegg.com/shellsh..._-ShellShocker

The laynard looks kinda goofy but I'm guessing I could remove that.

Anyone have any other suggestions for canal-type headphones (preferably with different size earbuds) that would be fine for PSP/MP3 use? (I don't need super amazing pwning high-quality lol )

They're $50 originally. But high price doesn't always mean it's a good product.

These seem pretty decent (at least the newegg reviews say so )

I use the Zune Premium headphones. They're like 30, and they don't sound any different on a PSP or Zune opposed to other buds.

i dont trust creative i mean creative hasent realy put out any high end audio equipment and they make products for the masses of computer users. i would rather stick with a compony that is known for quality analog equipment. and they have been around loooooong before creative. (1920's) where creatives only been around since the 80's and plus the air cusions are loved by budget audiophiles and are about the same price as the creatives.
