Los Angeles Apple stores offering exclusive headphones this NBA All-Star weekend

If you're around Los Angeles and need some new headphones this weekend, your local Apple Store has a deal for you. To celebrate the NBA All-Star Game, Skullcandy is selling its NBA All-Star Aviator headphones in Apple Stores exclusively, this weekend only. At $180 they're not cheap, but they are some serious premium headphones.

If you're the kind of person who likes owning exclusive gear, and you were planning on picking up a nice pair of headphones anyway, they're yours to hunt down and buy... unless you're an NBA All-Star player, in which case Skullcandy is giving you a set already, personalized with your own signature and jersey number. Most of us aren't NBA All-Stars, so everyone else will have to head out to the mall. If you do pick up one of these this weekend, let us know how it goes. This seems like a weird deal for Apple to host officially, considering the small potential audience.

"but they are some serious premium headphones."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Skull-candy is complete rubbish. These headphones are complete rubbish. The only people who actually believe these headphones are good are complete tools.

Decent headphone manufacturers make headphones with similar style, but WAY more substance.

A cool logo means crap.

Are those Dr Dre Beats in the picture? God I hope then that your comments are ironic.

It doesn't seem odd at all that Apple is hosting something like this. Can you imagine the amount of foot-traffic and media-buzz in LA they are going to generate from this stunt. Genius.

They don't seem to be buzzing it themselves so it wont likely have that big of a draw.

And it is likely only the major stores like Third Street, The Grove. Maybe Glendale and Topanga. Not every shop in the area.
