Razer Pro|Tone m250 Headphones

In ear headphones are great for isolating outside noise and listening to your music in private. However, the earbuds that come with the iPod don't particularly fit everyone's ear size. Even with the newest iPod earbud design, people still complain about them falling out or being uncomfortable.

When I opened up the packaging, I was immediately impressed by the sleek black metallic look of the pro|tone m250. Included is a zipper case showing off Razer's non-ostentatious embroidered logo. The case features 3 mesh pockets to hold the headphones and it's included airplane adapter. The case and aircraft adapter is a very nice touch not seen in price comparable units, and provides added value for the traveler.

Attractively designed in white or black, the m250s' are secured to your ear via an extremely durable hinged rubber clip. You open the hinge, and slip it over your ear, and then press on the headphone and the hinge snugly closes around your ear. If you aren't used to wearing headphones on your ears, it takes a few minutes to get used to them. After wearing them for a long time (longer than an hour in my case), when you take them off, you feel like something is missing. I sort of equate it to 'hat head'. For those that aren't familiar with that term, it's a feeling you have when you have been wearing a hat for an extended period of time, and then when you remove it, you feel like something is missing. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does take some getting used to.
