Personally, I want a nice .45 H&K Tactical USP, and an M1911A1...But that's just me.

Yeah but the entry level Senn stuff is $15.

Owned!

Some of their canalphones look neat but not $50 neat. I'll go ahead and use my 580/KSC75/PX200/iGrado/K240 Sextett ehh you get the idea.

All of us (most of us) here on Head-fi think Skullcandy sucks because we're really only concerned about audio quality, not aesthetics.

No, I personally think they suck because they 1) are too expensive for their sound AND 2) because they are ridiculously styled (IMHO) to appeal to teen gangsta wannabes who think the ultimate of cool is military prints, bullets, skulls and preposterous plastic shaped phones...

I'm 28 and personally have no aesthetic problems with any grado (though I'm not too fond of the gold SR325i) and I see the HP2/PS1 as some of the most beautiful headphones existing... But ATH, Beyerdynamic, Ultrasone and AKG have made some lookers as well (the woody ATHs, the leatherhead, DT880/990, Edition9, the K601 (and the new models I've seen pics of), the older AKGs,...) and even the senn PX100 is a very decently looking headphone. I don't like the looks of the bigger senns, but there are a lot of ppl here who do.

I would rather be shot with three bullets than to be seen wearing those attached to my 'cool' headphone

This is most definitely my opinion and you are free to differ...but please do not try and speak for me (and a lot of other - more adult? - members) here on Head-Fi... in short opinions on aesthetics will differ as well and SkullCandies are not considered beautiful or cool by everyone (I hope

)

Maybe a Hummer? Gawdy and doesn't go very fast.

Sometimes you'll find Bose-lovers in a Prius, I love true environmentalists but those environmentalists who love Bose I think must be posers, like half the people wanting to cure cancer.

Mmmm can you say Deagle?

 

[ExpatinJapan]

Hmm, now you can do a forum search for Bose LOL.

 

[dahan]

skullcandy is built only for the look.

You couldn't sense my sarcasm?
 
Bose has always been the master of stealing money. People who don't know crap about audio buy bose because they have a store and they're ****ing expensive. Not to say that the sound quality is bad, but that its just super overpriced

i'm new to the audiophile world and before i ever got into audio and my music more i already knew the skullcandie  line-up sound like junk. even in th dj world there junk. sennheiser make great headphones even in the lower market. i got myself a pair of sennheiser HD205-II's about month ago and love the sound coming from'em through my JVC XL-F108 cd player hooked up to my computer.

people are right. there is a lot better options for the price. same goes for Bose and monster's Dr.dre beats.... but it's your ears. if you like'em then it's cool. just saying there is much better options for the price ranges.
