I did the stupid thing bu going with flashiness over substance, and I payed the price for it. As with most Skullcandy stuff, you'll get a lot of pizzazz and not too much else. This pair of headphones seemed to fit my funny-shaped ears pretty well out of the box, but as soon as I put them onto my iPod they were terrible. The bass was overbearing to the max and the mids and highs were terribly out of whack - just imagine one of those OG Cadillacs with the window-rattling, bowel-shaking subs in the back that disturbs your peace, terrifies your cats, breaks all of your fine china and leaves you with cracks in your foundation - it's kinda like that. Moreover, the cord is extraordinarily short, and broke while I was attempting to *gasp* move. The slightest jerk broke the input from the cord, thus completing the pathetic circle that was my final experience with Skullcandy. If you only care about looks and tons of obnoxious, noxious bass, get these...all of your soon-to-be-deaf friends will go out and buy them because they're "OMFG so awesome!" If you really care about your listening quality and want buds that last more than, say, four days, buy something else, anything else!

I had high hopes for these earbuds even though my experience with this type of noise canceling bud has not been impressive. First time trying Skullcandy brand. Bought a pair at BB. Should have tried them as soon as I left the store. Got them home and the left channel was dead. Was able to bend the cable at the volume control and the left channel would produce static and buzz intermittently. Returned to BB and received a refund. Ordered some Sennheiser on Amazon with a great discount. Sorry Skullcandy, but I will not be trying any more of your products. Defective out of the box is ridiculous.
