Skullcandy Smokin Bud In Ear with In-Line Microphone S2SBBI-WC (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I consider myself a bit of a headphone connoisseur and have used tons of different earbuds searching for the perfect pair. As a musician, I use Shure e3's with sleeves custom molded to my ear canal by an audiologist. I've also used several professional circumaural headphones in the studio.
These headphones do not reproduce sound as accurately as Shure's e2 and e3 models, but I still prefer these for everyday listening. They are bass heavy compared to a linear response. When these earbuds are properly inserted, the bass is massive, and isolation is EXCELLENT. They are much easier to pop in and get an great seal than the Shures (with foam, plastic, or custom silicon sleeves).
CONS: The wires are thin and so do not fall flat like heavy duty wires but are quality enough for the job. The case it comes with is useless.
PRO: Excellent sound (although technically not "accurate" or linear), extremely strong bass (the best I've ever heard in an earbud), excellent isolation, easy, comfortable secure fit. Excellent value.
Bottom line: I call these headphones "the best headphones under $100" even though I know they only cost a fraction of that. I lost my pair and am buying two more pairs now.
Other notes: I've used them while running and they will stay in for about 15 minutes...much longer than any other i've tried. it helps to have very clean ears. No other earbud stays in longer than a couple minutes. A trick I use is to bring the cable up your back behind you (its nice not to have wires flopping in front of you while you run) and then loop the wire over your ear from the back and insert the earbud upside down. The weight of the cord will be resting on the top of your ear and not pulling the earbud out.

Smokin Buds are not the musical journey itself. They're more like a ticket to ride. Or an enjoyable travel companion who brought an extra super-comfy pillow and blanket just for you. Or a friendly little sprite who lives inside your ear, delivering mind-bending dots and loops to your brain while making sure your eyes don't wander off in two different directions while he buffalos your skull. Whatever they are, they sound delicious.

Skullcandy FMJ In Ear Bud with In-Line Mic S2FMCY-003 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got these for my boyfriend a while back. Everyone has their thing, and his happens to be Skullcandy headphones. Before these, he had a pair of Titans but he really wanted a pair of FMJs because he'd been hearing good things. When he tried them out he was really happy with them. They're really nice quality, the sound is great, and he was ecstatic to hear they had inline mic because he likes it a lot better than using a bluetooth earpiece.
(word of warning about inline mic: you look like a crazy fool talking with ear buds instead of an earpiece. It REALLY looks like you're talking to yourself.)

Don't give away your smoking jacket just because you own a pair of Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket ear buds. The FMJ's metal housing and well-endowed speakers pump out a furious barrage of armor-piercing decibels that not even Wonder Woman's magical gold wristbands could withstand.

Skullcandy S4CHBZ-BC Chops Earbuds, (Black/Chrome) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like listening to music when I exercise, but it's hard for me to find an earbud that will stay put when I'm in motion. Furthermore, I don't expect to treat my earbuds delicately, so don't want to spend a whole lot on them. I'd tried the Sennheiser twist-to-fit earbuds before, and they worked pretty well--they stayed in place and sounded OK. The only problems were that they'd be uncomfortable after an hour or so, and if you ever lost one of the little rubber discs that hold the earbud in, they're like $5 + shipping to replace (they couldn't cost more than $0.05 to manufacture.) I lost the discs on my latest pair, and decided to try these. These are the first Skullcandy phones I've tried, and they seem to do the job well. The main functionality I was looking for is there--they stay on my head, and they're comfortable (and don't have little parts that can fall off). The sound quality isn't anything to write home about, you hear your music, but it's tinny and there's no bass to speak of. Not a huge deal for me, I have better earbuds for when I'm not active and want to hear intricacies. Only drawback is that there's a connector jack in the middle of the wire. I don't know what the purpose of that is really, but for me, it just adds weight and provides another connection that can come loose. I've had to give it an extra squeeze now and then to make sure full contact is being made. All in all though, good product, and good for active use.

Skullcandy (Product Out Of Date, Newer Version Available) S2FMBZ-CZ Full Metal Jacket Stereo Headset (Chrome) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading a few of the diatribes here on amazon, I felt compelled to write something a little more technical and concise about not only this product, but, for other Skullcandy earbuds as well. First, let me start with my own diatribe about sound quality, and where these earbuds fall in the spectrum of whats available out there.
First off, i am an audiophile of sorts except for one small thing...I HATE spending money for inferior products, based on "brand recognition"!! For example, I still own a pair of 100$ ****(insert 4 letter high end makers name here;-) earbuds that I find inferior to this product- In fact, I wore them for about a week, and put them back in their storage case as a "backup" to my other 3 sets of Skullcandy earbuds/headphone I own currently. Why? For a number of reasons, which I will get into now.
People don't understand what all the tech jargon on the side of the packaging or on manufacterer's websites mean, so I'll try and make it as easy to understand as possible, with the specs you NEED to pay attention to. For example, these 11MM Skullcandies have a 16-21 KHz range, with 104 Db's of sensitivity at 16 Ohms and a 500 Mw output. The aforementioned "high end" buds have 21-20k hz range, with 100 Dbs of sensitivity at 32 Ohms and 350 Mw output. To put all those numbers into perspective, here's what you need to know about all that "goobledeegook":
For the range, you want as broad a spacing between low and highs as possible- 16-21k Hz is VERY good. Db's of sensitivity is how efficient the driver in the earbuds are at producing good sound quality- anything above 100 db's is very good! For ohms, without oversimplifying things, the lower the number of the ohms, the "easier" the sound is produced. Again, lower the number, the better. However, you should also realize that its better to match the ohms to the player you are using. And, lastly, the 500 Mw output for Skullcandies is pretty ridiculous, considering the reproduction of music with my Samsung MP3 is pretty darn crisp with the music cranked right up. Also, there is one other spec you should be aware of, and thats THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), which compares the output signal of the amplifier or music player with the input signal and measures the level differences in harmonic frequencies between the two. You want a THD that is consistently low, meaning the reproduction of music is balanced with its imaging. The numbers that I have written here for this product are VERY good, comparing pretty well and around what you see with very high end manufacterers like Scosche and Sennheiser, who are in a somewhat different league sound quality wise in some respects. All that being said, Skullcandies have excellent sound quality for the price, but do have their caveats.
I have had issues with the build quality of all of the earbuds I've had from Skullcandy, but, I have to say that half the time it was because of my use of them in somewhat extreme sporting situations, and the other times were just either build quality or just poor storage. However, when I HAVE had issues (e.g. one earbud refusing to function while the other side works fine), their customer service was VERY responsive and actually pretty funny in how they deal with the warranty claim.
They ask whether or not you damaged them from "hard use" or whether they just stopped working. If you DID damage them doing something stupid or outlandish, they ask to hear the story. They then offer you a replacement cost based on how they failed. The turnaround time on replacement has never been more than 2 weeks from start to finish, and I've only had 3 sets malfunction in the 5 or so years I've been using them. And, for the record, 2 sets were 9mm FMJ's and the other a set of Titans. The cool thing is that they have actually upgraded the 2 sets of FMJ's from 9mm to 11mm (bigger driver, better sound) for my troubles.
Bottom line?? For the money, you CANNOT beat the sound quality, comfort and function of the 11mm FMJ's, and should something go wrong, you can be assured your set of "buds" will be replaced in an expeditious manner.
