Skullcandy Earbuds

[chanty]

I just bought a pair of Skullcandy earbuds and they are amazing! My sennheiser earbuds got wrecked by getting caught on things and getting ripped out of my ears. The covers came off and they were stuck together magnetically more than once. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.
So the Skullcandy are very crisp, clear and have the best base I've ever heard out of earbuds. Gotta be careful though because they block outside sounds really well and I don't want to get hit by a bus!
And for the low low price of $14.99! I was considering getting the Bose earbuds, but with the way I treat them I can't really justify the $140 price tag. Would be nice though!

Funky looking earbuds and website!

Give the Sennheiser CX300 a try next time, I use them in the gym.

But Westone UM2 are wet dreams for the ears, even though your ears feel like they're being raped when you stick them in.

On a side note, I just picked up an Audio Technica AD300 tonight for office listening:



I tried Grados and they're only good for live and band music. Totally suck ass for electronica, Underworld live sounds amazing on them though. The AD300 has a decent soundstage and volume to its bass, Shonky, The Field, and Moshic sound great on them. But on some other tracks/sets the bass can be a bit lean ... I think that's more the fault of the mastering or production.

Those Westone UM2's look sweet. $299.00 The Skullcandy's look like they fit the same as the Westone's. A very snug fit and they don't fall out.

This really annoying, I have the same problem with my sennheisers!! Mine aren't earbuds though,they hurt my ears!! It's the plug into the ipod that is the problem. I've ended up buying a big set , which are great, but I look like a total idiot wandering around the street.

Seeing those earbuds etc, are meant to be mobile wouldn't you think it would be a good idea to make the wiring etc a little sturdier.!!

Re: Skullcandy Earbuds

for $14.99 i will definitely get some for my runs. where'd you get them chanty?

Re: Skullcandy Earbuds

I got them at BestBuy. The buds that I got aren't on the website but the ones I posted above are very close. Maybe the ones I got for 14.99 are discontinued but they rock the sound for sure!
