Fashionable headphones for urban warfare

These headphones can beat up your iPod earbuds.

The Skullcandy G.I. headphones are the first we've seen with built-in bullet holders in the headband, as well as a zip-up pouch that holds what looks like a bottle opener. (Update: According to Skullcandy, the tool included in the pouch is a screwdriver/skate tool/bottle-opener combo.)

Available in four styles--Rasta, Desert, Camo, and CCore (pictured here)--the CCore models look like the ones to buy if you want the fewest number of people getting all up in your face and/or messing with your biz.

The ear cans cost $69.99, but the Skullcandy site says they're out of stock until at least the beginning of December.

A skater/snowboarder-friendly retailer, Skullcandy also sells a line of MP3-playing watches, accessories, and backpacks. The company also sells lower-profile earbuds, but that means you'll have to carry your bullets and bottle opener around in your pocket. Laaaaaaame.
