I am gonna go berserk!!!

If I meet one more person in real life that tries to tell me how awesome their skull candies are and how they cost 50 bucks (as if thats super expensive to them...well it is for skull candies anyway).yes ive heard many models of skull candy. they never impress. they are merely a slight improvement over the ear buds that came packaged with your ipod... SLIGHT improvement...They're not high quality. not the sound. not the cables. not a damn thing.

They have a catchy name and LOOK for teens and tweens. THATS IT!!!

SKULLCANDY.

        You have to look further than @#$^%* STAPLES or THE APPLE STORE for quality (maybe the apple store carries good stuff i dont know, but i know that the good stuff does not include skull candy)... the salesman on the floor will always tell you that what he is selling you is top notch.

There are plenty of more adequate brands of entry level equipment. I wish someone would just order an air strike on skull candy headquarters and erase their chinese garbage from existence.

you might like them. thats fine. but at the very least i think there is ALWAYS a better option for whatever price range you're in.

end rant.

whoops. sorry bout the wrong forum thing.

it's just that i was at a party. my atrio xs were laying around somewhere nearby (not too big of a party).

then i see these iems my friend is carrying and i examine them to find the cursed logo on the side of them. and he's like "you should try these out... you can really hear the difference. they cost 50 bucks at the apple store yadda yadda yadda". And im thinking well for one thing "no thanks" cuz ive definitely been there. But also he didn't even ask what im rockin. which means he must REALLY think those skull candies are the top of the mountain. 

I can't be really mad at anybody i guess. My friend like the rest of the world just bought them without doing adequate research and obviously they must sound better than what he had before (probably junk buds)

And i guess i can't be too mad at skullcandy. If i could figure out a way to roll in the big bucks by halfassing some crap together thats probably what i'd be doing.

Im the type to just be quiet sometimes and let people think what they think. I didn't shove my atrios in his face I just let him keep talking basically. A side effect of that can be having to vent on the internet.
