Inexpensive, good sound quality. [Posted on 2008-03-26]
I bought these locally as a replacement for iPod earbuds and was very satisfied with them. The smallest silicone size fit my war well and the noise isolation is very good if the ear pieces fit. (I guess it depends how big your ear canals are.) I wouldn't say that they would compete with high-end earbuds - but for the price, very hard to beat.
These are not good for "high activity" uses. The cords do make a lot of noise when bumped. I didn't notice it while walking - but I think working out might be a problem depending on where you keep your iPod.
A lot of bang for your buck [Posted on 2008-04-10]
I had my doubts when I bought these earphones (bought locally at FYE), but for the price they do the job very well and actually sound pretty good. I tried the Sony earbuds which cost over $50 but they did not sound as good as these do as the Sony was too bright sounding and tiring after a few minutes to listen to. Granted, they are not high end, but considering they only cost a few dollars how can you beat them?
Very nice earbuds i love SkullCandy [Posted on 2008-04-19]
these are very nice earbuds i found mine at FYE as well and i could not be more happy i use them with my DS lite and my Mp3 player all the time and the sound great and are great on my laptop when traveling as well for space reasons :) very great and the pads are nice a nice touch only downside is they did not label left and right and i had to figure that our and mark them with a sharpie so i don't forget which is which and i like the stickers that come with the skullcandy products i put one on my laptop lol very nice earbuds :-)
Awesome headphones! [Posted on 2008-05-27]
I bought them on sale at a local brick and mortar store for $15 and they are by far the best investment for any MP3 player. (I mean any headphone upgrade compared to the ones that came with my iPod) I was worried at first that these wouldn't fit in my ears or be uncomfortable, but after swapping out the buds for the smallest ones they fit with no problems. They are very snug in my ear and don't feel like they will fall out, hence they also do a good job at isolating the sound in the headphones from outside noises.
My only complaint about them is that because they fit so snug in my ears, any vibrations coming from contact with the wire reverberates into the headphones, but at $15 these were a steal and I would recommend them to anyone that wants a cheap fix to their cheap headphones.
Nice pair of $20 headphones. [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I bought these at my college bookstore for $15.98. For that price, I'm pretty pleased with their fit and performance. I don't think I would have been happy if I'd paid $40 + shipping though.
The things that caught my eye was a sticker on the outside of the packaging that said "iPod/iPhone Compatible". For those who do not know, the current gen iPhone is kind of, well, I'll just leave it at POORLY DESIGNED when it comes to the headphone-in port. The only pair of headphones I've been able to use with it (the adapter is so poorly designed that I refuse to buy it) are a pair of giant ear-cupping Sony noise cancelers that I picked up in Tokyo a few years ago. Thankfully, the metal part of jack on these earbuds is long enough to fit all the way into the iPhone.
I've always hated earbuds but the gel tips on these actually make them feel like they will stay in my oddly shaped ears.
The smallest size is the most comfortable for me and seems to minimize the loud rustling noise you get amplified up through the cables when they rub against anything.
I'd imagine jogging with these would cause a LOT of that noise, but for $16, I can ignore it, I think.
