Skullcandy Mixmaster Mike( Worth it?) - Page 3

Nice to see people opening their minds a bit. It's hard to get over brand loyalty, or in this case, brand hate. the Aviators and MMMs look suprisingly stylish, actually.

Hate to revive an old thread, but has anyone tried these headphones out, yet?  Lot of mixed reviews.  Wired Magazine said they were horrible while Tyll said its very competitive at it's price range of $250-300 range.  I'm thinking of purchasing a pair, but I'll wait until a different color way comes out.  Preferably, one that gets rid of the shiny plastic look (like a matte black instead) and removes or at least makes less flashy the skullcandy logos on the side (again, makes them give off a cheap, childish vibe).

Owned these for about 2 months now, and I really like them.   The reason why I decided on this over the ATH-AD900 was mostly because of Tyll's review over at innerfidelity.com.  But what tilted me towards this is the style.  Really nice looking, and second it's a sealed headphone..so it blocks some outside noise, and barely leaks any sound. (These were biggies for me since I share an office with people)

So pretty much...its the Mix Masters at work, Monster Coppers at gym, and the Q701s at home.  Q701s sounds WAY better,but leak too much noise to be taken outside.  Plus it's a beast to amp

Edit:  Seems like there's a new champ out there.  The AKG K550.  Haven't heard them, but I'm hearing it takes the throne.
