Suounds Great - Doesn't Last - Poor Service [Posted on 2008-08-31]
I ordered a pair of these to use at the gym with my iPod and also with a music system we jack into while spinning. They sound great. I treat them very well but I can't believe that people use these while doing extreme sports.
I have gone through two pair in 4 months. The volume control failed in the first pair. Skullcandy replaced them but it took forever. They never reply to your e-mails or website comments which is why I gave them 1 star.
The second pair also started to fail at the volume control. So I used DeoxIt on them and that cleared it up. Don't sweat on the volume control or you will have to clean it with something because it will start to have spots that don't work and sound will drop out. After about 1 month of use the jack failed. I would have to twist the cord to get them to work.
Now this is just from using them at the gym. Not skateboarding or snowboarding or any of the stuff they show the guys on their website doing.
When you do the second RMA, they hassle you with they don't cover accidental damage. They make you send the entire pair in this time. Then you wait 4 weeks and hassle them with e-mails and on their website and they never respond but they finally ship you a new pair. So 6 weeks after I sent them in I get a new pair.
I'm sure these will break just as soon as the last pair. But for what they cost I will keep sending them and hassling them. These don't even last as long as a cheap $10 pair. I could buy 6 pairs of those for what these cost.
Better Than Average Sound [Posted on 2008-09-11]
Sound quality is better than the standard issue iPod ear buds, but have to say they do not exactly rock my world like better quality ear phones. OK if you want a small upgrade.
IPhone compatible means the jack fits [Posted on 2008-09-15]
I really expected to have the button that allows you to take phone calls and skip forward songs, but this doesnt have it. Its just a pair of headphones. No microphone, no shortcut button. Just fits into the IPhone jack. I wouldn't have bought them if I knew this, but they are decent headphone so I am going to hang onto them as backup. Still, I am pretty disappointed. Should have done more research, I know.
Poor Fit [Posted on 2008-09-26]
Just because these headphones come with three different sizes of rubber covers, doesn't mean they'll stay in. The design requires them to fit into the ear canal; there's no place for the cord to rest and stay put. They're useless for any activity other than sitting quietly at your keyboard because if you move around, they'll fall out. I rigged something up with an old over-the-ear piece, but its the equivalent of taping your glasses together, i won't wear these in public.
Excelente producto [Posted on 2008-10-03]
La calidad de sonido es muy buena el unico detalle es el estuche para guardarlo, podian haber hecho algo mas facil de usar, es muy tedioso guardar los audifonos en dicho estuche, uno pierde mucho tiempo.
