Info on Skull Candy.

[[TF] U1tra]

Iam new to higher end headphones but have been impressed with Skull Candy.

I will be useing them on my ipod listening mostly to rap, but i can not decide which model would be best for this type of listening.

The TI- http://www.skullcandy.com/products20...e130038295d14e

or the Cruchers- http://www.skullcandy.com/products20...e130038295d14e

So if any of you could give a fast review or recomendations that would be awosme. Thanks alot guys. great site.

hey, welcome to head fi, and sorry about your wallet.
the Ti's look pretty cool. have you considered grado? the SR60 and SR80 are in the same price range. they might not look as slick as the skull candy, but they sure sound damn good. .. or you can buy one of the skull candy headphones (probably the skullcrushers cause it has the bass amp) and do a review on here. just a suggestion.

I've heard the Skullcandy Skullcrushers (a friend got them as a gift). They're completely unremarkable in everything but the ridiculously overemphasized, servo-assisted bass. It's not good, articulate bass, just incredibly boomy and vibrating.

The rest of it, as said, is unremarkable if not necessarily offensive. I'd rate the overall sound on par with, say, HD212.

Just wondering what makes you decide on these 2 pairs of cans? The looks?
