I'm amused by the model they have in their banner: a bearded, tattooed man wearing what appears to be a .. cape? We've come a long way since the stock photos of 'smiling super-normal people wearing ties, huddled around a computer'.
- vinay427 10y agoNot to mention the man is wearing on-ear headphones and is using a smartphone in front of his laptop, which seems more common today than ever.
- RUG3Y 10y agoDo on-ear headphones carry a negative connotation? I wear them because earbuds make my ears hurt after a while.
- infinitone 10y agoIts all about the over-ear mate.. over-ear..
- RUG3Y 10y agoHaha ok...I guess technically I'm wearing "over-ear" headphones right now. Hyper-X...pretty cheap gaming headset, extremely comfortable, no flashing led lights or other weird gamer features. Decent sound too.
- bduerst 10y agoThis is a silly question, but do they go fully around the ear? I have bigger ears and a get a lot of discomfort from most headphones. I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-A900X (with huge cans) at home, but I'm always hunting for a cheaper pair to carry around with me.
- RUG3Y 10y agoYes, they fit around my ears nicely. I've always been uncomfortable with the padding touching my ears the way you describe. I'm pretty picky, but I've found the HyperX headset to be way more comfortable than some other, very expensive headsets that I've tried. I've had them for almost two years now and they've been very durable as well.
- jtreminio 10y agoHave you tried the Logitech G930? $70, wireless USB with great microphone and great range. My ears are huge, they fit very well within these earpads. By comparison I use the Beyerdynamic DT770 as my music headphones (vs travel) as those are the only ones I've tried so far that fit my ears and are super comfortable.
- acron0 10y ago+1 My HyperX Cloud 2's are the only over-ear headset I'll ever use again. Fantastic sound, build quality and comfort.
- drawnwren 10y agoHas he also duct taped over the brand name? 2016 San Francisco, I see you!

- mirekrusin 10y agoIs this Amazon's dress-code? I bet black cape + helmet means you're at the top.
- Cbeck527 10y agoI'm at re:Invent currently, and this morning's keynote by the CEO has a superhero theme! :)

- pavel_lishin 10y agoReminds me of Snow Crash. > Because shortly after he gets into Port Sherman, the wheels on his motorcycle lock up - the spokes become rigid - and the ride gets very bumpy. A couple of seconds after that, the entire bike goes dead, becomes an inert chunk of metal. Not even the engine works. He looks down into the flat screen on top of the fuel tank, wanting to get a status report, but it's just showing snow. The bios has crashed. Asherah's possessed his bike.
- ssharp 10y agoI'm pretty sure Amazon is just trolling us with these photos.
- magicbuzz 10y agoHe must be doing a firmware update to his ECU :-)

- ssharp 10y agoAre people wearing capes these days?
- hoodoof 10y agoHipsters will soon be.
- hoodoof 10y agoYou don't wear a cape?
- ajkjk 10y agoI put my cape away years ago. But duty may call again...
- welly 10y agoAnd you know for sure that the model is sporting a top knot.
