Again, with musical preferences we could point you straight what would be a good selection for you to investigate !

And welcome to Head-Fi !
By the way, i kinda own a TI model from skullcandy , and all i can say is, if its for something else then rock/punk and related , just FORGET IT ! IMO its the only genre that isn't THAT hurt by those ......

Hate to say this, but age discrimination is also a sign of ignorance :p. You can say the same thing about Bose and those poor grown up saps ^_^

Edit: Before anybody starts taking this the wrong way, it's meant to be a joke.

Oh I'm aware that I totally singled out that crowd. You are correct though. I'm sure some adults swear by Skullcandy and some teenagers may swear by Bose.
Typically, older people like Bose because Bose has gotten kind of a 'luxury high end audio' type of image to them and Skullcandy has the opposite image.

Anybody who works for either of those companies want to lend us your market research data so we can come up with a conclusion?

Oh yeah! I'm mature!

I guess this pretty much killed it though...

Anyways, I wonder why the OP logged out almost right after he made the thread.

BTW, does Team Junior High mean nothing to the people that didn't know?

People (especially younger ones concerned primarily with looks) don't assume that there are a pair of IEMs that can be wildly better than any other at the >$30 price. Thus, Skullcandy being the most attractive in this price range they are a no brainer...There fulls look ok too...but for some reason they never appealed to me like the IEMs used to.

I bought Smokin' Buds a year ago for jogging and only jogging. I didn't want to get my EX082s all sweaty. They serve their purpose well. They sound ok, but I still regret not getting Mallows. The Mallows were even $5 cheaper.

Haha I have that color too! They impress the ladies.

I'm not kidding. They were like, "OMG! Those headphones are awesome!" I was like, "Umm, no."
Isn't the wait horrible?

It was the only color on sale. That's my reason.

I think our uneducated op wanted some funky looking phones, I posted the only two I ever tried that had that special thing that makes people turn around in the street and say wohawah, that thing that makes naked ladies run after you in the street when you wear these phones...... you get the point.
The other cans I own are highly modded sony mdr 500 and hd 25 so nothing exciting to see there.

Well sure, I'm sure Skullcandys are better than say... Stock iBuds or some super cheap headphones you got from the dollar store.
Somebody take their high end cans to a high school and let the kids listen to them...Oh wait, that would never work because kids just won't get excited about the look of DT880s or HD650s.


Really, if you want to bring a pair of HD650s or DT880s to my High School, I'd be all over it. (You people and your excess income!)


Although it's true, most people under 17 are using ipods with stock earbuds or skullcandy. I cry a little everytime I see my friends walking around with $50+ skullcandy cans, which is happening more and more it seems.

(It also makes me angry, because I don't even have $50 for headphones, and they've wasted it...

(Which I could then use to show my friends what real portable audio is...)
