its a company that makes headphones and earphones, pretty cool designs.

Do you guys have any experience with them?

I recently just bought a ink'd skullcandy earphone for 20 bucks.

Looks pretty sexy.
Jaeho
They do look hot laugh.gif but I heard that they're more about looks than sound quality (especially the big headphones). So I guess it's style over substance, but I've never tried them so I can't judge how bad or good they sound.
Atmosphere.
My boyfriend really wants that headphone someday when he plays game especially.
They look expensive to me though o____O by the sound of the product hahaha!
But wow only $20 for ear phones? But I'm sure headphones are much expensive.
I never heard about them until my boyfriend told me about them last 3 weeks ago? ^__^
hungrycollegeboy
Yup!!! Gotta love skullcandy!

I got me a pair of white ones! biggrin.gif

Yeap, heard of them. 2nd post is totally right, they're more for people who like that street/ghetto design rather than goods that actually sound good. Tried a few models from friends, it didn't sound all that good no matter the source of the music

the ink'd out is really good for a 20 dollar earphone.

sure my eshure earphones beat the crap out of it in terms of quality
but they also costed 100 bucks.

and the earpiece of Eshure earphones (the silicone) ended up rubbing out my ear skin, which ended up being all sore and crap. unpleasant.

the skull candy silicone pieces are VERRRRY SOFT.
feels like shoving two small pillows in your ears.

i think it was worth the 20 bucks.
now im just worrying that i might rip the cord out or break the earphone by accident unsure.gif

was thinking of giving it to my sister, but she always has a curse with electronics,
somehow ALL electronics she touches whether its mine or hers, ends up being in the washing machine
her cellphone, Mini disc player, etc,
that being said im sure she will wreak havoc on my skullcandy.

I had a pair of Skullcandy Hesh stereo headphones and the sound quality was awesome. It looked great too but the downside was that it was sort of fragile... I accidentally snapped it in half when I was trying to pull out the plastic extenders. I returned the headphones and got my money back but I wouldn't mind trying them out again. I'd say steer clear of the other Skullcandy headphones if you're looking for audio quality though.. I've read a lot of reviews complaining poor bass quality, etc from headphone models like the TI.

I have several pairs of skullcandies XD

one broke though but it was my fault for pulling and tugging on them too often D: it was 30 dollars also ahah. they were the white smokin buds.

I recently got a pair of ink'd ones on sale for like 8 dollars (awesome deal XDD) my friend got mad because she paid like 15 or something ha.
and I have the large headphones,
rasta one...i don't wear it out often, because they attract too much attention o__o;;;
good for watching movies and game playing at home, since the cord's super long. =)
bigfatPANDA
i have skullcandy lowriders in blue. it looks great and all, and the sound quality is OKAY.
of course it won't be as good as models that run for $100+, so you get what you pay for.
if you're not an audiophile, skullcandys are great~ but they are known to be fragile, but what electronic isn't?
darkmafiaguy
Trash IMO. I'd recommend spending a few extra $$$ for the quality & durability of Sony MDR-51s
sHicalvet
I had a pair that I used on my ipod and it was pretty good but I recommend getting senns over there or soemthing o.0
Jaeho
I just saw someone wearing red Skullcandy Lowriders and I have to say they look nice in pictures, but a bit tacky in real life. :x
mooshi x3
One type of their headphones takes away your ear's virginity. =X
LunaDiviner
Yeah, I want a pair. But there's not much of a range around here.
heylove
The earbuds that came with my ipod broke, so when I went doorbusting with my parents, I grabbed a random set of earbuds (they were only 9$, retail $20 I believe. biggrin.gif) and they happened to be skullcandy. o-O They kept falling out of my ears the first few days, but I think my ears have grown around the buds themselves. I'm not sure about the sound quality, but it certainly beats the ones that came with my ipod. lol

I have Skullcandy Hesh (black) I must say it... I LOVE IT!
It definately different than normal earplugs (had those which came along with my Sony Ericsson Walkman phone)
pepprmint
Ink'D for $20?!! thats a lot o_O i always get my Ink'Ds at $10-12 max O_O
i absolutely LOOOOVE skullcandy
i got a Smokin' before, it died on me after 3 months though -____-"
my first Ink'D died after a couple months too
but what i love about these is the sound quality is AWEsome, and plus, theyre cheap enough to replace every so often

and did i mention the bass is awesome?? these were the first in-ears to ever stay put in my ear too, i love them!!!
__jinnny-shi.
SKULLCANDY! they are soo awesome! Like totally~ Quality are good too! They have the style, and the color is pretty wicked ; ) and Cheap too~ = ]
shortee28
i have the black and gold skullycandy lowriders.
i love them. i use it with my ipod while going snowboarding.
i wanted the white and gold ones but they didnt have it at the store
and the online site i think was done or something,
so i couldn't order to ship to canada...
other than that, i'm very happy with mine =)
pekkles
I have red/white lowriders, I take good care of them since I've heard that they break easily- it's been about a year I think, they're in perfect condition! It's true that the quality is not the best, but it's definitely better than anything you'd find in a $7 bin.

And maybe it's just me, but violin parts always sound spectacular with these headphones XD I heard some beautiful violin from songs that I didn't even know had violins when listening with earphones.

I've only seen one pair of skull candy's IRL. A gay guy was wearing them on the bus.
I mention gay, not to be offensive. But because gay guys are usually more concerned with looks and fashion.


I'd rather have Quality over looks.
Maipcrkiyl
I don't know what model I have, but absolutely perfect to wear on a school bus.
Or anywhere else noisy. ^-^
loversixteen
I got one of those skullcandy earphones (pink) and even though I fell in love with their design and the case, the sound quality is kinda bad. One good thing is that they have a volume control where you get to control how high or low you want to be.
meow.
Skullcandys are cheap??

I went looking for them in Tandy's, but the only one I saw was this set of headphones that were $100+.

Anyone know where else I can get them in AUstralia?
(pref. the earphones rather than head, I'm assuming they would be much cheaper)
ProjectVirtue
Skullcandy's in our area are ridiculously overpriced.
40$ for a pair of earbuds that dont even function very well.
the little rubber thing falls off all the time, and the sound
quality itself isn't even all that great.

Like an earliar post said, they're now more of a fashion
statement as opposed to a practical set of head phones.

I picked up a pair of sennheiser ear buds, which left
a relative hole in my wallet but > everything D:
Alice_Draconus
I luff my Skullcandy headphones! >w<
I use them for my laptop and wear them everytime I'm at it, even if I'm not listening to music! XD
IlikeChicken
I got one for my birthday and couldn't believe that anyone would give me such a sucky earphone >_> It looks nice though..It just sucks that all
Sam Sik
Don't buy Skullcandy headphones/earphones. They are absolutely horrible in sound quality and build quality.

What? This makes no sense. I know tons of guys that care about their looks and fashion.

Actually, I own a pair and they're much better then the ones shipped with my Samsung MP3. Whenever I use the stock pair for extended periods of time, the inside of my ear starts to itch, so that's why I switched over to skullcandy. got mine on boxing day for 20 bucks(off the 80-dollar pair)
``HyoKi
dudeeee`
the skullcandy headphones i see around cost a lot o.o"
i saw one that was really nice for what? $50?
i reallyREALLY want a pair. i think i might buy one soon ;]
Mandu
I have green lowriders that cost me around 20 bucks.

They look nice and all but I regret buying them -.-" They're stowed away in my drawer atm. Ever since I've been using in-ear monitors I haven't turned back >< maybe I'm just not used to headphones..;;
Vietty
I just bought skullcandy earbuds today and I can't figure out which one goes into the left or right ear. Do you guys have the same problem? There are no labels....XD
Gofishus
Why is the name Skullcandy...If you cant eat the headphones than they should name it something else
SOCKBUNNY
I think some of them look really tacky sleep.gif
duykato
I had some a while ago. They broke, that's when I said to myself never again. There are so many better brands out there. I currently use Shure and the only one I'd even think about trying is Senns. I hear they're pretty awesome. Bose headphones are ok, but don't justify the price.

I had those rumble ones.
KAITOU KID.
I had a pair of skullcandy earphones.

The left one stopped producing sound. I was/am still pretty cut about that.

mssle
Skullcandy has really good quality.
Too bad I broke mine :(..
Jaely

i've heard so many mixed reviews
i guess i gotta try them myself ;)
soominie
I have green lowriders, THEY ARE HOTTTT.
viluvmusic
hahaha one of my friends luvs skull candy. she showed me the headphones i could buy from target online. >.< they have pretty cool earbuds! :]
colloquy
Skull candy is ok quality. I prefer my $125 headphones. A far better investment.
OldSpice
i use these, http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/audio more bang for your bass
<yiboy>
Sorry to say this so flat out and frankly, but skullcandy sucks compared to "real headphones."
A pair of grado SR60's alone that are like 60-80 bucks would blow away any skullcandy headphone/earbuds. Not to mention all the other high-end phones out there.
Angelina
I've been through at least 4 of these earphones within a 6 month period.. I like the style and look .. but I don't know if it's just me or what but it craps out like about a month later.. one side stops working or both of them do and I keep having to hit them for them in order to work..
Nine
I have a pair of Hesh headphones from Skullcandy
It has pretty good bass...

missmilk

oceansky
ive got an ink'd. the bass is pretty decent on it and the sound quality isnt bad either. and i also have red low-riders. i dont use it as much as my ear phones but i still think its pretty good. you can get them real cheap at like tj-max. but i found that out after i bought mine T.T
