There's a new Kickstarter, for DJ PON-3 styled headphones:

I'd like a pair of noise cancelling headphones. These are tempting. Might need pony decals.

I like how understated they are, myself. If you're a fan of MLP:FiM, you may well recognize them; if not, they're just cool-green-and-white headphones with musical notes on them.

I just wish they came with a padded storage box so that they don't break when put into a backpack or so.

I am kind of a headphones fan. I saw these before and I really like them. Skullcandy and Audio-Technica do the detacheable wire thing on some models which is a great idea as I break headphones. I have had the wires break *inside* the cans too. At least a carry bag would be nice.

I had noise-cancelling earbuds by Sony, not the best but they are great for airplanes.

I'm worried though since they have a really high kickstarter goal, like will they make it? The price is pretty low for the actual phones. I wonder what's going on, if they are buying Chinese phones with bespoke graphics on them.

I guess the kickstarter page answers my questions, they have to make a lot of them in quantity to sell them at this price.

Aye, there is that. OTOH if they don't make their goal, you won't get charged anything, so there's little risk involved.

Mm, replaceable wire's definitely a plus point - it's rather frustrating that that isn't nigh universal, but it seems to largely be something reserved for the mid-range and higher, for no particularly good reason. (And indeed, I might have to do that with mine - Sennheiser HD25-1 II, demonstrating they could seriously use some naming of their products, as I've never yet been able to type that out without actually looking at them. But they're so good, despite being at the low end of the mid-range offerings!)
