[size=11pt]SO. By way of some egregious personal lapse in judgment, I wound up with a pair of Skullcandy IEHs. The 50/50 model, to be exact. They broke a few months later, unsurprisingly. I sent them back to Skullcandy over a month ago, and was just credited with about $62 worth of points on their website to use towards a replacement product. I searched the web and this site, but was not able to find a good side-by-side review of the current line of Skullcandy IEH products.[/size]
[size=11pt]It looks like it’s between the 50/50, Fix, Heavy Medal, Riot, Smokin Buds and FMJ (Full Metal Jacket). I had no “problem” with the 50/50s, though I was not blown away, so if nobody has any insight to offer I am fine going with those again.[/size]
[size=11pt]What I listen to:[/size]
[size=11pt]What I’m doing when listening:[/size]
[size=11pt]Needless to say I need something that will stay put in my ears when running. I have small ears (I think), so this is a constant problem for me, but the 50/50 seemed to do well in that department with the smallest size of rubber “cushions” (for lack of a better word) that they came with.[/size]
[size=11pt]Also have a feeling that all the running/bouncing around, apart from being Skullcandies, is what caused them to break pretty quickly.[/size]
[size=11pt]Thanks in advance![/size]
