looking for a pair of cans that will let your stand out from the crowd of Beats and Soul items? well, the Silverado from San Francisco Bay Area-based California Headphone Company should do the trick perfectly. not only does it look vastly different from the current audio cans that are more attuned to electronic or rap tunes, the Silverado is acoustically tuned for country, rock and alternative music. crafted from die-cast metal in brush finish for the earcups and leather headband with contrasting stitching, this over-ear headphone features generously-sized 40mm titanium drivers to deliver the promised audio reproduction, 360-degree articulating hinges, a foldable design for ease of storage, and duo-jack removable cord plugs complete with knitted ‘zebra’ cloth finish cables. the duo-jack enables your buddy to share whatever your are listening by simply plugging their own sound cans into it. the California Headphone Silverado will carry a final retail sticker of $199.95 a pair when it hit the store this August but you could snag yourself a pair for a special price of $150 (or $200 for the Limited Edition model) if you make your pledge through its Kickstarter page, which has just seven days to go. hit the jump for a pledge video by its founder, Tim Hickman.
