Apartment Therapy Unplugged | Headphones or Earbuds? Now You Can Have Either When Jamming on the Phone.

Headphones or Earbuds? Now You Can Have Either When Jamming on the Phone.

There are boob men and there are ass men. On the same note, there are earbud people and headphone people. Unfortunately, for a while now, if you wanted access to your phone while jamming out to the tunes stored on it you're only option were a pair of earbuds with an inline mic sandwiched in the wiring. It was rare to find a pair of heavy duty headphones that also let you pick up the line.

That said, we just found these rad retro-style headphones on Fred Flare, that won't let you miss a call...

The Stiloso Rojo headphones retail for $50 and feature an adjustable perforated leather headband, padded earcups, and a built-in mic and call button.

Amazon has a few other models of Boosted's cell phone friendly headphones, like these rad 80s style cones that can easily match your vintage Adidas.

Now for people who are strictly earbud folks, you can wear your pride around your neck in solid gold -- actually goldplated silver. Find it at Fred Flare for $300.

The headphones are great. The gratuitous sexual comment not so much.

Is it really sexist to say there a boob men and ass men? I mean, every time I've asked a boy what they were they seem to have an answer...

On another note, it was just a silly way to get into talking about the difference between earbuds and headphones. Nothing to take too seriously.

There are boobs and there are asses. I think the author of this post is a little of each.

And not a very original boob or ass, at that: their previous posting begins: "A while ago, ATSF featured a house tour with a sweet rack!" I'm all for sexy, edgy prose--especially on a site devoted to gadgets--but I'd prefer it be written by someone with more style than the shooting script for "Dude, Where's My Car?"

I noticed no mention of elbows. Hot, steamy elbows. Yes.

I must say I am very disappointed in this post.

You have totally left out the leg men.

We're here, we're proud, and we want to oggle your gams! Especially if you have seamed stockings, yes, especially then.
