Too bad I have to send it back!!! [Posted on 2008-07-24]
These headphones does have A LOT of bass. A little overpowering on certain songs, so I keep the the EQ on my Iphone on Flat. The mic is great and the design is awesome.
However, when I got my headset the right side seems a little lower than my left. So I tapped it a little and it came back on. I have to do that every once in a while. Also, the little skull emblem on the back of the right side came off too. All this happened all in one week. So I decided to return it to amazon. But after doing research on alternatives such as the the v moda duo and the maximo's I think im still going to go with the SKullcandy. It seems to me both brands have the quality issue. Even the more expensive and very nice looking v modas. Ive seen just as many bad reviews as good. SO I think the quality may be hit of miss. If my next set of skullcandys have problems I may take a chance on the maximo's.
better than most [Posted on 2008-08-05]
Pros - sturdy, good lenght wire (not too long), good functionality, microphone in right place
Cons - sound quality mediocre- improves slightly when equaliser settings are adapted, weird brandname & logo- 3 small skulls on each earpiece
Awesome! [Posted on 2008-08-08]
I bought the v-moda duo's and although the sound was great, Iwas disappointed in the execution of their product. They were heavy (so the cord swung out because of the heavy metal inline button) and the button kept getting caught on my collar and they constantly tangled (badly) and had a stethoscope sound when the cord or the button rubbed up against your shirt as you walked.
These are SO much better. The bass response is awesome and they are louder then the V-Moda's. The sound at the highest level is pristine clear with no distortion, even with bass heavy music. The cord is the perfect length, just long enough to fit in you pant pocket. The button to pause/fast forward/take a call is much easier to find then the V-Moda's although the stock Apple headset is the best in that department. They look cool, and the anti-tangle coating (which is absent from the V-Moda) is very effective. They work perfectly with my iPhone 3G. All this and $30 less then the V-Moda's - I think it's a no brainer.
My only negative comments is that they didn't include a large silicone ear pieces like the V-Moda's and they should have included a cord extender since it's literally the exact size to go from head to pocket (in case you need the extra length when throwing in a bag etc).
These rock. I highly suggest them.
Great with a little time [Posted on 2008-08-16]
At first, as others indicated, the FMJ's sounded a bit muddy. But after a burn in time of approximately 45 hours they sound great. Same thing for a cheaper pair of Skullcandy's I own. It took a while so give it time.
After going through several iphone headphone/headset combo's these are quite stunning for the price. But please..... have patience and the sound will eventually be brilliant

great bass.
Muddy mid tones.
sent them back after 1 day.
decided to spend $200+ on a set of m-audio ie-30 earphones. 200 times better.
