i tried these guys at a best buy, and all i can say is that the bass is not only overpowering, but not really good sounding to be honest.. the mids and highs are almost gone when you turn the bass boost on. and when the boost is off, it sounds like ipod earbuds because its only mids and highs. dont get me wrong these things look sick and make a sweet style statement, but for that price you can find sweet looking GOOD sounding headphones too.  just not a huge fan of skullcandy.
