I was at a local target and saw that these headphones were priced at only $15 so I decided to try them and see how they were.
To be honest I didn't expect anything spectacular or even anything approaching on good based on what I hear about Skullcandy as a company(especially around here). So after giving them a shot here are my opinions.
Comfort:
I felt that the comfort wasn't terribly bad.
The pleather ear cups were rather soft(I say were because after about a month of light use they have gotten quite hard)
They are very light as they are made completely out thin of plastic.They fit easily in a bag/backpack.
They start out comfortable because of their lightness, but make my ears hurt with slightly prolonged use(30min-1hr)
Isolation:
Bad. They are on ear headphones that provide very little isolation. It's easy to hear someone talking next to you unless you listen to your music loudly.
Sound Quality:
Pretty bad. I'm not the best judge of audio quality but it's obvious(to me) that they have much to be desired.
I felt that listening to these headphones is like listening to music trough a thin wall. You will still hear the music but everything is slightly muffled.
I expected at least for these to have some bass(albeit over accentuated) but I found them to have rather poor muffled bass with a very narrow sounding range to it.
Overall:
Don't get these unless you can care less about audio, like the way they look, and just want something that is pretty cheap to replace your ibuds.
At $15-20 you could do worse but can easily do better.
