Glued to my head [Posted on 2008-03-03]
Great earphones, my son has them glued to his head as much as possible. He loves them.
Not too great. [Posted on 2008-03-26]
I got this headphones for the purpose of being able to listen to music at home, school, and on the go. First of all, the design isn't great. The top kind of sticks out awkwardly. The earpieces have a little too much pressure on the lower head which caused a headache every time I used them. The folding up is nice, but it is a little flimsy. The bass amplifier cord is extremely annoying. It hangs down heavily and isn't necessary. The bass isn't even complete no matter how much battery life you have, it only is apparent sometimes and after a while will give you a headache. One plus is that the ear part is very soft and comfy around the ear. They are perfect earmuffs during the cold winter. But it doesn't pay off because it still can get uncomfortable. Another bad thing is that they can't get that loud. Unless you turn the volume up, the sound is very muffled. The sound isn't terrible quality or anything but it isn't wonderful. The appearance is nice though- the colors and stuff. I am quite picky with these things but overall, these aren't too great.
Great sound quality for the money... [Posted on 2008-04-05]
I travel alot for business and for fun. I don't mind aircraft noise enough to shell out on a set of Bose QC2's...but these babies are almost as good. They don't have any kind of built in noise reduction, but on my 4 hour flight to JFK, I did not notice outside noise at any time. I kept having to take them off even with my iPod on pause everytime the flight attendant came around during meal service just to hear her.
Extremely comfortable and the sound quality of these babies is incredible. Sometimes, you have to dial the bass in a little bit using the bass wheel on the battery unit to get the balance you are looking for...but a small price to pay for great quality sound at a great value.
My only issue seems to stem from something that has been mentioned in other reviews...the short cord, the not-so-great placement of the bass amp battery unit, and the somewhat flimsy feel of them when they are folded down. Again, small issue for something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I've been showing off the sound quality to all my friends and even the owners of Bose headphones are impressed.
I totally recommend the Skullcrushers for a great sound and comfort for the cost value.
Exceptional Sound for Price [Posted on 2008-05-01]
I am an eighteen year old at highschool and got these headphones yesterday at Circuit City for $75.00 (w/ tax etc) I listen primarily to techno music but throw in everything else from Cream, to some Broadway songs, to Old School rap, the headphones will deal with most anything with pretty good sound. The bass is something incredible, you can't really understand what it produces until you try them out properly, it is amazing, they can get very low frequency, and very low notes and give a very powerful vibration which really does sound like a high end subwoofer system in a car or home theater. The bass adjuster is useful and you will most likely want to adjust it between songs, obviously this is easy, if you listen to the same genre constantly you can find a perfect setting, or just put it at 100 percent to show what they can do! The first night I got these I listened to the album "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse, and they couldn't have delivered better sound for the album. Now I give you easy pros and cons
cons
-fairly tight fit (good for blocking out ambient noise, but you can't wear them round your neck comfortably)
-Folding (This is very usful for travel however if you are wearing them about and take them off repeatedly it can get annoying)
-Leather pads (these are very comfortable and manage to block out sound, however after awhile they can get pretty hot)
pros
-Bass adjuster (tune perfectly for different songs)
-Cord (perfect length, its not too long, but not too short)
-Obviously: The Bass! (if you listen to bass heavy music you won't find better headphones for the price)
-Stylish design ( I often wear a suit, or a sport coat, so the pinstripes on the side look good with it)
-Accesories (allow you to hook them up to anything)
-Lightweight (won't feel unnatural and heavy on your head
These phones are certainly worth buying if you listen to bass heavy music, the bad reviews must be coming from those who are either not adjusting them, or listen to music that doesn't capitalize on the bass qualities. I also own the Bose In-Ear earphones, and the Bose on-ear quiet comforts, these can compare, I use the on-ears for the noise cancelling, the in-ears for running and light-weight traveling, now I have the Skullcandys for techno and rap. So now its your choice
AWESOME [Posted on 2008-05-02]
these are by far the best headhphones I have ever heard- the bass boost on this is ridiculous and sounds amazing. the sound is contained so that the people around you are not hearing everything you do
