Firstly..I'm aware that Skullcandy products are in no way ranked even near high-end..I own a pair of Etymotic ER6i's for that sort of stuff (I'm a poor student..thats as high as i'm going for now lol)

Now i've pretty much owned every type of headphones..from normal earbuds, to inner-ear buds to in ear monitors to clip on types..but i've never owned a pair of fullsize over ear cans (open or closed).

I'm looking at Skullcandy products: Skullcrushers Or the Lowrider's..they're gonna be like my mess about headphones..hence the stupid ammount of bass that is said to be present in both. My question is, which should I go for? I plan to occasionally share my music by literally leaving them hanging around my neck occasionally (where it isn't considered anti-social ofcourse

)..so which would be louder? They both look pretty cool..

Thanks in advance

P.s. my apologies for mentioning skullcandy on Head-Fi

I'mma keep my eye on this thread, might become quite amusing.

SK's are basically eye-candy, it won't really matter which ones you get SQ wise, just buy the one that looks best.

Lol the worst thing is..I know i'm asking a stupid question..but I literally want a pair of headphones that I don't love so much I have to baby them lol..I don't even let people near my er6i's..though they're scared to because they cost me £64..clearly they've never been on Head-Fi lol..thats like penny sweets..

Why don't you get something like Senn 201 or 202?

 

[Amar1990]

Ahh do you reckon they'll be pretty much the same? Is it worth shelling out an extra 20-30 for Grado Sr60's..I don't wanna have to be extra careful..I wanna throw 'em about n stuff lol

The Senn's look decent..do you reckon they'd double as mini-speaker..

Something else -> Grado SR60

Can be had for the same price ($69) as the Skullcrushers, but certainly higher regarded. Would probably play just as loud as well, since you have your priorities there. Over sound quality...

..but Grados are Ugly!

I've seen quite a few people turn there headphones up to max volume and use them as speakers. I can't see it being good for them...

Grados definately look better than the headphones OP mentioned!

He said he didn't wanna like 'em... They'd also do okay without an amp, being a pair of Grados.

...compared to those Skullcandies? Guess we have different taste then.
