These Skull Candy headphones will not stop at the looks, however. The moment I tried it, I knew that I was hooked.

So what sets Skull Candy headphones apart? Aside from their funky look, these headphones deliver excellent sound. In fact, everything about the design is all about the perfect sound. Even if you’re listening to a track that is so heavy on bass, the headphones can take it.

There are a lot of different types of Skull Candy headphones available – you only need to check their web site for the style that would suit you. The Metallica headphones, from the Artist Lowrider Series, to be exact, is only one of them. This one costs $49.95 from the online shop but prices may vary depending on which store you go to.

Another plus about Skull Candy headphones is that they are all covered by a very good warranty policy. They have two types of coverage:

Aggressive Listening: Skullcandy products that fail or break due to a crazy crash on the mountain or a violent head-banging session… or any other reason that is not a product defect, we will still hook you up! Send in whatever remains of your product, and we will send you a coupon good for 50% off any product in our Online Shop.

Defective Product Replacement: Which is defined as any Skullcandy product that is still in one piece and not working properly or any product damaged in shipping.In this case you will receive a brand new replacement product at no charge.

I don’t think I have found any other product that has this kind of coverage, have you?

Guitar Hero is not going to take things sitting down though as it recently gave more information on its upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica game.

In an interview that appeared in USA Today, Alan Flore, lead designer for Neversoft, as well as Metallica’s Kirk Hammet and Lars Ulrich talked about the new game.

All three agreed that the game will be extremely challenging especially when it comes to the old Metallica songs. This goes across all instruments, with the drums featuring brutal double bass playing. The game will also not be sequential because of the obvious difficulty of earlier songs.

Players will begin the game by auditioning for Metallica through two tracks and once they are accepted they will tour with the band through some real-world venues. Other bands will also be appearing on tour but no details were given regarding this.

Finally, Ulrich hinted that Guitar Hero: Metallica will most likely be made available in March.
