I completely agree with the review, I enjoy these headphones, but i have to say the mid's & top definition does stop them being an outstanding pair of phones. If you want clear defined sound look elsewhere, these are just about bass. They do indeed rattle your head & ear drums.

If you love bass you'll love these. I found the sound quality excellent and my ears are ringin.

These things are the nuts! I think they sound Great. You just got to set the bass sub right for the proper mix between lows and highs. Mids and highs are there buddy.

I had always heard good things concerning Skull Candy products and also read MANY great product reviews as well as satisfied customers comments, however my experience with both products and company leave me to feel this is a definite one to leave behind. Christmas 06 I bought Smokin Buds and Skull Crushers for my 16 year old son as presents, shortly after ( about 5 months ) the buds were only playing from one side and the hinge on the skull crushers were broken and no longer work. After calling the company 3 times concerning warranty, sending 6 emails, I have had no confirmation and no warranty replacement on either products. The last time, I called in and spoke directly with Brandon, who told me email issues concerning the warranty@skullcandy.com may not be getting through and told me to email him directly. This was again 2 weeks ago and no email, no RMA information. I may be that one statistic in one thousand with this problem. But for my money next time around,,it will be better spent elsewhere.

Disappointed,,

i wondered when i did that review if those plastic hinges would hold up. i liked the headphones, but they weren't of the highest quality construction, as i mentioned in the review.

sorry you're getting the runaround from skullcandy, man.

brad.

ward out they rock the socks of the red socks

Yea, had the same problem with the Bud's.

Not once or twice, mind, but three times! And always one of the buds stops working. Its only the great sound quality that brings my back.

Am buying some Skullcrushers this time, hopefully they'll be better.

Hey skull crushers i just want u 2 know that your product didnt live up 2 my standers and your green headphones are as bad the country they were made in and i work 2 hard 4 my money 2 be throwing it away on your bullshit product!

great sound, great noise blocking (like weaking ear plugs when they are off). Broke after 2 months of use, which made me question the $40 price tag for buds.

skullcandy earbuds are some of the best earbuds i have ever bought. mine just ended up going through the wash and still work just as good as when i bought them. definitely buying skullcandy from now on

yep gotta agree wid studioace the highs and lows and mids are there but u just have to set ur eq rite i had da same problem in the beginning but after messing ROUND WITH MY EQ I GOT IT PERFECT great pair of cans but do feel a bit flimsy feel sorry for dan but i think it all comes down to how much care you take go for senhisers next time every single one is very durable and sound great

sound great, although every single time I take them off after using them I have one major headache...

I am looking for a good set of headphones to use for everyday use and on the plane but also for snowboarding. Do the skullcrushers stay snug on your head or will they fall of easily?

i had scull crushers 4 a while they were good but they hurt my ears sometimes regarless if i changed the lil rubber things over time i lost my i pod sadly when i got a new i pod last week i decided to reward my self with some low riders i skate so i thought this was a good choice so i would hear my music more than my wheeles i had bought them on a sunday on friday moring i had got up gotten ready for school and they snapped at the hinges
i havent called yet but on monday i hope this will be taken care of because even 99 cents store head phones last longer

ps. similar problems hit me up with some advice Jay18792@aol.com

I just bought a pair of these skullcrushers and i am soooooo disappointed because the high a mids are not the greatest especially the mini subs that are in the headphones. The subs barely come in and when you turn up the volume it comes in very distorted and not understandable. I had very high expectations for these headphones but The skullcandy smokin buds are by far worth it because they sound extremely clear and the bass is excellent.

Don't buy direct from Skullcandy. I purchased online on Dec. 10, 2008 and I'm still waiting to recieve my order more than one month later. They have ignored five e-mails and after waiting on the phone for three minutes during their normal business hours I received a message saying their customer service was now closed.

My son just got the hesh headphone for snowboarding and he loves them. I listened and they sounded great

ive been reading these comments and i cant believe how stupid some people sound. (not to be mean) Ive owned 5 pairs of skullcandies, and im really rough on my headphones. And even after dropping them, having them pulled off my head, stretched, and hit, only one pair has been broken because a backpack fell on them. As with any product, you must take care of it if you want to make it last.

Skull Candy Low Riders

After paying £32 for these head phones in HMV I had fairly high hopes. The sound i think has possible a little to much bass to it but on the flip side they do go very loud! How ever my real problem is not with the sound but with the build quality. I bought my first pair just before Christmas and after 2 weeks of very low usage (sat with my laptop) they snapped both sides on the join just before the padded head band starts whilst putting them on. I got some replacements and last week they have done exactly the same thing…. Not impressed!!! Took them back to HMV again and the man said i was the 3rd person in a week that has had the same problem!

If your thinking of spending £30 + on a set of head phones I think there is much better quality out there but unfortunately will not look as cool though!

I've had two pairs of Skullcrushers, great sound quality for listening to anything involving bass, but movies were washed out as you said. Also, both pairs seperated at the sub woofer connection, making them go from great sound to average sound with spotty bass to no sound in a week.

I currently have a pair of Smokin' Buds that sound almost as good for 1/3 of the cost here in Canada, had them for a month now and they are incredibly durable. (Not many ear buds can handle 2-3 hours of use a day, and having hockey bags and similar dropped on them routinely.

Ink'd earbuds however... what a waste of money those were. A month after getting them, the cable seperated at the jack, rendering them completely useless.

this guy sounds like a complete idiot

these headphones were amazing ive had them for about a eyar now the only problem i see is that the subwoofer seemd to not hit as hard than when i bought them.

ive owned many pairs of the ink'd buds and smokin' buds and they were all wonderful
i skate as well and but them through alot of abuse along with 3-4 hours listening at school so i totally recommend any skullcandy product to anyone.

I love the skullcandy skullcrushers! I blew out a sub though oh no it buzzes. Funny story, I didn't buy them and I repaired a broken pair from a friend, I had to solder every single wire (8 going to the headphones 3 going to the stereo jack) and replace the battery connections, this took 8 hours every time they broke but was no problem what so ever. I want a new pair but they are sold out on the 50% off sale at skullcandy :(. I hope to find a pair on sale, or maybe even find a broken pair from somewhere, this isnt usual for a pair of headphones but these are special. If you guys have a broken pair email me at ninelime@gmail.com thanks in advance.

I have had a few pairs of smokin' buds over the previous months
and to be honest whilst the sound quality was brilliant very loud bassy etc
i broke them all at the headphone end (the cable snapped inside)
bought them off play.com and they were replaced free of charge after a couple of weeks so not too much hassle

thinking of getting some of these
but im not ure how they would be for sport
i BMX and usually wear a helmet so i very much doubt they would fit under that

does anyone who has owned some ofthese know if they come off whilst skating or BMXing or anything?

I know that this is the skull crushers comment section. While reading it I noted alot of talk on the inked and smokin' buds. I just thought I would share some advice that I read on another site. These style of headphones seem to have issues being "wrapped" around devices. If you use the nice bag that comes with them, they last MUCH longer. I own the smokin' buds and hands down are the best of it's kind. the freq response on the smokin' is better than the inked and the TiTAN (which are identicle).

these head phones are not the best for there price i love music and my other skull candys the 20 & 30 dollar ones kept on breaking but i loved them cause they were loud. so to answer my problem i got these cause i thought they would last longer and sound better! the sub woofer is fun its nice i like it alot but THE MUSIC IS LOW the sound is so low on these i thought i was going deaf! and just to finish it they died no more sound after 1 month just like the other skull candy trust me find some other headphones like maybe grenades or aerial 77 dollars for these toy feeling headphones is a waist!

i'm having the same problem with emailing them for the warranty. still no response. i just bought the exact same pair of ink'd earphones that i had last time and i'm going to put the broken ones in that package and return them :) Teach them a damn lesson for horrible customer service!

@Robin if you BMX i suggest you buy ASYM headphones from Skullcandy

heres a link to the actually product webpage

My roommate's letting me use his. I was pretty impressed, I didnt they made subs small enough to fit in headphones. But as someone else said, they're all about bass. The woofer crushes your skull, but they need more mids and highs to crack it in half too. So they're not the best if your lookin for full range sound, but considering the audience they're after, they're pretty good headphones.

had the skull crushers a wile now.

pros: deep bass, adjustable bass levels, very comfortable, lighter weight than my other large headphones.

cons: battery hog, hinge is a bit loose after around 5 months of use, highs require eq boosting.

overall deff worth the money but just be mindful that the total cost of ownership is rather high because it requires batteries.


sidenote the smokin buds headphones i found at a zumiez at my local mall and picked up two pair for my girlfriend and i and they are still working great and i dont even take care of them

If you like anything besides electronics, these are not for you. I feel like all my songs are being played in a metal garbage can and I have cotton stuffed in my ears. But they look cool. That's something, right?
