Wooden earbuds let people know you're eco-friendly

skullcandy-wooden-earbuds.jpgNothing says "class" like putting wood on a gadget. It makes it look nice, more expensive, and better constructed. Sure, wood doesn't really make gadgets perform any better than regular plastic, but it just looks so natural. And you can't argue with natural.

Skullcandy knows this, which is why they've unveiled their wooden earbuds for people going for that natural look. Unfortunately, you'll pay dearly for that extra finish, as these earbuds are a whopping $99, which seems a touch unreasonable for what you're getting. But hey, wood! How can you say no?

Uh doesn't this imply that wearing these means you are cool with killing trees? I know plastic isn't that good but really? Wood?

Wood is a green material when it comes from managed forest.

I love these earbuds. They would go perfectly with the wooden ipod case I found. Too bad they are out of my budget right now!
