Confession: I'm a girl who practically has her mp3 player permanently wired to her eardrums. In fact, I've been known to skip class whenever my iPod was too low on battery to survive the walk (though I don't condone such naughty behavior). As a result, I know all about the importance of a nice, stylish pair of
headphones. So what if you're in the market for a new pair but just don't have $300 to spring for those fancy-schmancy
Dr. Dre ones? Luckily for us audiophile fashionistas, over-the-ear headphones and the more discreet in-ear earbuds are becoming more and more prominent in their use as fashion statements with their sleek designs and wild colors and embellishments, and they still provide excellent sound quality without costing a small fortune. Go big and bold with a cushy neon pair like
Aerial 7's Matadors or keep it sleek with a subtly funky pair of
earbuds by Elecom. Check the slideshow for a selection of headphones so hip, you might start wearing them around your neck just to coordinate with your sneakers!
