Bose i understand..i have heard all their headphones.

but whats the sound of skullcandy like?

It's hard for me to say how bad they are because I have only just recently gotten a pair of Grados and I am in the process of building my first amp. I have a set of Skullcandy earbuds and they aren't bad. They aren't fantastic but for a $15-20 pair of buds they do the job and they are pretty comfortable. They actually have some bass response and they aren't too harsh.

"oh no you didn't..."

they just sound like average, cheap headphones. Look. This stuff is bought by the same people who just put huge megawoofers in their car (AND NOTHING ELSE MIND YOU) because they "care about their music".

Skullcandy is awful. Take your iPod into a store and give them a listen.

 

[tintin47]

They are just terrible. Just go listen to a pair and you'll understand.

Well before I start complaining about them I have to say i haven't tried them nor I will in my whole life (unless it is a present from someone, that i will put a nice face like "hey thanks

")

Ok to start with the headphones colors will surely get you bullied because they are really horrendous. Second but most important of all, they are extremely overpriced, as you can get better sounding headphones for less money, but as they are focused towards teens it is even worse, as they make their parents waste money on something another cheaper set could do. EDIT: I have read some reviews via google and SQ is not their best quality ^^

Aside from my complaints i can understand kids buying them, because they are very colorful, they are very bassy (and that is what they like), and they are better than the ibuds. I don't expect a 12 year kid asking for a pair of grados (maybe igrados, but not other ones).

Creative, senn (as the px100) or Sony make better headphones less overpriced. Oh and for the guy who dislikes plastic (as in the hd800 thread) they are made with very glossy plastic...

They make cheap, tacky, bad sounding headphones. That's my main beef.

Skullcandy is more of a fashion statement. Just carefully observe what kind of people use them ..

 

[opteronlive]

If you care about your ears do not buy Skullcandy or Wesc, it's just fashion crap.

The reason some might find them O.K is because they might sound better than a mediocre earbud.

However you can have the "skullcandy look" but still have decent sound e.g Alienware Ozma 7, which is a rebranded Ultrasone DJ1.

Looks, sound, price/quality ratio, ...

 

[Crackerman]

We're all jealous that most people are satisfied with average sounding cheap headphones plugged into an iPod filled with music ripped at 190kps, so we rail against the cheap stuff with bitter gusto.

I have a pair of the buds, I only use them to work out. They do at least a decent job keeping the "CLANK!" out. I will add to the list though that they get pretty uncomfortable though, even the buds. The problem is that they have that stupid logo on the silicone and that protrusion itches the inside of your ear.

If looks are an indicator as to how good they will sound, then we should all add a pair to our collections. LOL, these are the ones I'm going with (no biters please)

Now I gotta take that damn jpg off my computer.
Aloha
