Customer Reviews

Quality is not great
I've owned 3 pairs of these earbuds in the last year. The first pair's demise was due to gnawing pets, so those are off the hook. In Oct 2008, I bought a pink pair of these "Smokin' Buds" after my trusty Sony's bit the dust. I liked the analog volume control on them, and the silicone fittings stay nicely on the earbud. But, after about 1 month of use, the headphone jack quit playing nice with my iPod Touch. Other earbuds worked in the iPod, and the Skullcandy worked with other devices, but they didn't work together. (For the record, these had an L-shaped headphone jack, where the jack was perpendicular to the direction of the earbud cable)

At this point, I borrowed another pair of Skullcandy earbuds. These were very similar to my pink ones, except the earbud jack was straight, inline with the wire direction. Today the cable got caught on a chair and I accidentally ripped the headphone jack out from the audio wire. I've have snags like this before with lots of different earbuds, and never had this happen.

Yes, they're cheap($), but you get what you pay for. I guess if you are a more gentle user than I, these might work for you.

I would recommend some Sony's instead. I had two different pairs that lasted for over 1.5 years each. Much better quality.

good sound- poor design, lasted 2 months
liked the sound- good for coffee shop studying as it blocked out other noise well.
however the volume control on the chord was too bulky and acted as a weight while jogging. constantly having to put earbuds back in ears.
after 2 months, the left side stopped working and only works when i hold the chord at the base at a certain angle.
pay ten bucks more and get a better product.

Great Headphones, but not for everyone!
I bought these headphones for the first time about a year ago when they first came out. I decided I'd give them a shot and threw them on! I fell in love INSTANTLY! The bass was very powerful and the sound was crisp and clear. They're really good headphones for the price, and the noise canceling effect is a really nice plus. However, I have noticed that when I let people use them (or read reviews), some people have a lot of trouble keeping them in their ears. Or they complain that they hurt their ears or feel uncomfortable. I've never had a problem with this, but with the number of people I've seen complaining about it, it definatley must be a problem. I don't mean to say don't give them a chance! If you have the extra cash, just try them out, who knows? You may end up loving them! But be cautious, they might not fit in your ears. But hey, they fit in mine! And when the ones I have break, I'll buy another pair of Skullcandy headphones :]
