hey all I think Skullcandy are very good sound clarity and quality and are better than Beats by Dre even. Just my thoughts.

Excuse me.. but um... This is Head-Fi. Yeah I guess they're decent - POSSIBLY better then Beats, but it's um... There are plenty of options as low as $10 that are better then both. The bass is muddy, the mids are nonexistant - case in point... nvm.

OP, may I ask what the purpose of this thread is?  I see none whatsoever.  Its not a review, not a question, its just nonsense.  

 

I smell troll..or stupidity.  Not quite sure.

Maybe the higher end new stuff like the aviators or mix-masters, but no way does any of their low-end stuff sound remotely good. Also, it seems like you think Beats are good, but you're wrong there too...

Better than Beats? I am not surprised. I personally enjoy my Skullcandy Titan's and pull them out for a listening every once in a while when I don't have my NuForce NE-700X's. With a nice portable amp and the proper sized tips you definitely can get more out of them than you might just by plugging them into the HO on an iDevice.

I guess you can consider Aviator's as somewhat decent (though expensive for what they are), I really hope he means that and not the erm... Ink'd's and Riot's of the world.

Ok so this was originally a troll post, but it didn't turn out like I thought lol. Anyways now actually truthfully I haven't tried a whole lot of earphone's but from the one's I have tried I have always gone back to Skullcandy. And I use a pair of 50/50 and to me they have great sound quality, but I might have a more open mind. I guess it really depends on price and how clear they sound. I have tried Sentry (cheap POS), JVCs (decent, IMO not as great as Skullcandy), Maxwell (actually somewhat compareable to Skullcandy). I like having lots of bass and Skullcandys seem to have great bass. Are there headphones that are better than Skullcandy and around the same price range (maybe like $30-$50), that have good bass?

You could try the Monoprice MHP-839 which are ~$28 shipped. Supposed to be rebrands of the Kicker hp541. Look at this thread:

They look good, but I would ideally like in-ear headphones not over the head ones...

Audio technica ckm50, refurb monster turbines, meelec sp51's all come to mind.

I believe the 50/50's are the mic version of the Titans. If so, I definitely can re-affirm your thoughts. The bass on them, when driven with even a E5 amp, is very tight and punchy. I enjoy a good listen to them when that is more the goal. Otherwise, I like the offerings from NuForce, which I've found to have plenty of bass and still have all the other levels coming through. I'd suggest trying the NE-770X's. It's towards the high end of that price range but definitely worth consideration

I was just answering your question which asked about headphones. But definitely check out some of the suggestions that are being thrown out there.
