If you're anything like me, music is a crucial part of everyday life! Headphones are guaranteed to be slung around my neck everyday before leaving the house, so you can bet your bottom dollar I go for the funky colours and designs guaranteed to catch a few jealous eyes ;p

Long gone are the days of big ugly box shaped headphones. We are now lucky enough to enjoy a thriving era of beautifully designed pieces that sound incredible and are packed with so much style – passersby are at high risk of whiplash!

We've just received truck load of awesome Skullcandy headphones and some sick new Skullcandy iPhone 5 cases to add a touch of swag to your phone or music device.

If you're a fan of vibrant eye-catching skull-rockers, you will have no doubt heard of Skullcandy already. Skullcandy has firmly planted its foot in the chaotic crowd of the headphone market and risen above a tonne of competition to become one of the most popular and stylish headphone brands in the world.

The BOOM Movement (Born On Original Motives), rose out of Southern California’s cul­ture of renegades: street artists, surfers, extreme sports fanatics and underground musicians. NEVER content with being part of the uninspired masses, BOOM’s founders seek to create quality sound products, art and clothing that reflect the BOOM lifestyle.

By doing so, they endeavor to unleash an uprising against preconceived molds; and to encourage free thinkers everywhere to defy tradition, push the limits and act on original motives. Each BOOM item features absolutely stunning sound & ahead of the curve design inflections to truly separate itself from the rest of the pack.

We couldn't be happier to announce that we now have the full range of outstanding BOOM gear. Checkout our BOOM products today and prepare to hear music like never before!

In the world of Hip hop, few names are as prolific and well known as 50 Cent. Along with his extremely successful hip hop career, he also dabbles in other business ventures. This is a great thing for fans of good music and Fiddy alike as we now get treated to what I would have to say are some of the cleanest sounding headphones I've ever had the joy of using.

Not only do they sound absolutely fantastic but they're also made of extremely durable SHATTERPROOF UFP which can take a lot of wear and tear. The common problem of snapping headphones is a thing of the past with SMS audio as they strive to make the most aesthetically pleasing designs that not only look amazing. They also feel and sound incredible.

After listening to a few of the albums I've been thrashing lately, like the new Jay-Z album Magna Carta Holy Grail I'm hearing new things each and every time that just don't make it through on my old pair of headphones. It's honestly like experiencing the album for the first time, the way it was meant to be heard. Every every beat and melody feels like it's being injected directly into my brain.

Now I don't usually gush so much about headphones but these really are some of the best I've had the pleasure of using over the last couple of years. They will absolutely have a permanent home on my head from now on!

Braven competition winner announced!

Add a comment By Dan

Last week we teamed up with the folks at Braven and gave you crazy folks a chance to win a Braven 570 of your choice. We asked for you to describe how you would use your Braven. We had heaps of phenomenal comments, so picking a winner was incredibly hard!

After much debate and heavy thinking, we've chosen Nick for his answer which gave the monkeys here a good chuckle. Check out Nicks answer below.

“The Braven & I would become life long companions, I can imagine coming home in the evenings and the Braven would automatically play some Michael Bolton song, quite possibly ‘Captain Jack Sparrow’ to set the mood of the evening… I'd be like "Yeah Bravy you know you got it” as that saucy little speaker box filled my eardrums with what can only be described as honey drizzled over thunder. Hour after glorious hour would pass but eventually the evening would come to an end, but not before ‘Eye of the Tiger’ was set in motion, bringing closure to another exquisite evening."

Congrats Nick and keep rockin' Michael Bolton buddy!
