For some reason the electronics world loves covering things in wood. Wooden televisions, wooden VCRs, wooden iPhone covers….now Skullcandy has created wooden earbuds. The wood grain earphones cost a whopping $99 (pretty steep for a pair of Skullcandy’s…BUT despite their typical small price these are some fantastic earphones). The phones work with all your favorite music apparatuses. Since Skullcandy’s typically go for around $20, you’re looking at a four or five times markup for the grain exterior however….that’s pretty astronomical, even though they look pretty cool. What electronics do you own that’s wood grain? Do you think the trend is going to continue? [via BoingBoing]

Even if you’ve been rocking DJ-style headphones for years, it could be time to switch things up. Just like your favorite brand of sneakers, sometimes a slight change in the style direction can do wonders for your self-image. If you’re the streamlined type, Skullcandy’s Low Rider design (left) will do you right, in 18 different colors and a frequency range of 100 – 18,000 HZ. If you’re looking for something a little more. . . flash, Skullcandy’s got plenty of that. Exhibit B (right) is a perfect example, chock full o’ design and packing a punch with 50mm drivers.
