 Sound is transmitted along the plastic November 25, 2008
G. D. Fielding (Phoenix, AZ, USA)
Although I love the sound produced by these, I can't recommend them at all. The trouble is that the plastic they use to cover the wire transmits every single sound when you move. It sounds like popping and scraping every single time the wires rubs against your clothes. - VERY annoying.
If they had put a rubber or foam grommet where the wires go into to earpiece then these could have been perfect. But they didn't, so now it's impossible to use these when going jogging, cycling etc. I ended up throwing mine away.
 good enough (great for the price?) November 25, 2008
R. Friesel Jr. (Burlington, VT USA)
Picked up a pair recently and am moderately satisfied. The seem like a "good enough" value (speaking to the quality-to-price ratio, here).
PROS: [1] The most comfortable in-ear headphones I've ever tried (and have owned more than a few over the years). [2] Nice seal in the ear blocks out a surprising amount of ambient noise (even at low volumes).
CONS: [1] Vibrations (e.g., the cable against your zipper) tend to amplify and compete with the music in your ear. [2] I'm not sold on the sound, which seems tinny and weak to me; I heard a lot of folks rave about these ear buds but the bass seems average at best.
MISC.: [1] I prefer an L-shaped connector and was disappointed that this one was straight. [2] The cable has a good texture and seems not to tangle. [3] Very comfortable if you expect to wear them for extended period but you can probably do a lot better in the sound department for not much more money.
Dissapointed November 21, 2008
S. Deyo (Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA)
Well, you get what you pay for, I guess. I had heard good things about Skullcandy, and since the prices was right (at our local Target), I thought 'why not'. Well, I must say, they are not worth the $11.99. I will agree with other reviewers that these are very good fitting earbuds, and that really do a good job at isolating you from exterior sound, but the sound produced by the buds themselves was very disappointing. I find them sorely lacking in production of both highs and lows. Mid-range is very good, but that's it. Now, before anyone goes off about how you need to have earbuds seated properly to get good base response, I can assure you, as I have been using earbuds for 10+ years, that I know how to wear them. With that said, these these rank at the bottom of the ones I have owned and tried. I would have rated these one star, but they are very good at isolating sound, just not so good at reproducing it.
 Best Bang for the Buck November 18, 2008
Samuel Francis Jr. (Tyler, TX United States)
I have researched several earbuds over a two year period and have found this to be the best earbud you can find under $100.00. These earbuds can be used to listen to anything from rap/rock to jazz/classicals. By design the wires will from time to time conduct sounds by way to too much movement during music playback. I would not wear during a workout. Moderate activities to none would be best while using these earbuds. These earbud are sound isolating and those wearing these earbuds should be more aware of any surrounding dangers.
Great earbuds November 17, 2008
C. Turpin (Brooklyn, NY)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just purchased these recently and have been using them for about 2 weeks now. They're really great earbuds that cancel out all outside sounds when listening to music, or if used in conjunction with an iPhone are great to hear somebody on the other end in a very noisy area. I would recommend these earbuds over any others that I have ever owned. They are completely comfortable in your ears unlike apple's earbuds for instance.. This item is a great buy..
