These are great!
By Malcolm Johnson
I like these ear buds. They offer great sound with deep bass and clear highs. The mic feature works great with the iphone 5. The best feature is the flat cord. It's flat not round. This keeps the cord from getting kinked. They also shipped fast. A must buy.

Not great, not bad...they "aiiiiite"
By Michael Lee
Just to provide a simple background of who I am and what I have experience with to help you get a clearer picture of who is reviewing this product: I've purchased quite a few headphones/earbuds during my existence on this planet; from Sony to Sennheiser to Souls, from over the head cans to in ear buds. I have a home studio where I have a pair of ATHM-50's and Sennheiser HD 203's for recording and have a pair of Soul SL150's, SMS Street by 50's, Soul SL49's, and Sony XB500's for casual listening.

SOUND: 3/5
I purchased these Skullcandy's from Radioshack for $17.99 for the simple fact my earbuds I used with my work computer broke and just wanted a cheap replacement. After 2 weeks of burn in and listening, I will say that these earbuds are at most, average. The bass, although not overpowering, is very present and handled very well. The highs and the treble is where in my honest opinion, these earbuds fall short. These earbuds produce very HARSH highs to the point where I cannot listen to the song. Besides the harsh highs though, everything else is pretty good, especially for the price point.

DESIGN: 4/5
As far as I've tested, the microphone works very well and the headset is pretty clear when I'm on the phone. I really love the cord design (flat) and the earbuds themselves are plastic and are EXTREMELY light. I find a light weight ear bud to be very favorable, i.e. my Soul SL49 which I must say are the BEST sounding earbuds on the market right now, fall short in one area and that is the earbuds are so heavy, they tend to fall out quite frequently. I love the ability to pause and play music with the remote on the cord but it's missing a volume control. You can wear these for hours without any sort of nagging or pain-very comfortable.

To summarize, I always HATED the Skullcandy brand and vowed to NEVER purchase any Skullcandy products but because of the reduced price point at the time, I gave in. Initially when looking at this brand, you can't take it seriously because of the name and logo (at least I couldn't) but I must say, coming from a negatively biased point of view towards this audio brand, they are pretty average earbuds and I would recommend this specific product to people looking for a cheap pair of earbuds with a mic for handsfree control on your iPhone or Droid device. A better alternative if you are looking for AMAZING sound are the Soul SL49 which I got for $35. Just look around.

Great sound, but don't buy it.
By jordanb1023
Okay so i m a 15 year old and music is a huge part of my life and i bought my first skull candy headphones a few years ago, and those ones ended up failing on one side. I have gone through 5 PAIRS of these headphones and every time they just stop working on one side. My dad had the same problem with his and he takes AMAZING care of his electronics. The sound is amazing and these are very comfortable but don't buy it without knowing you will have to buy one withing the next 4 months. the longest mine lasted was 3 months. So go for it if you think you can take PERFECT care of them and just know side will eventually fail.
