Poll: Question about skullcandy earbuds.

[TaborMallory]

Well, I've had my eye on these for a while now.

The question is, does anyone know if Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket earbuds are worth $60?

"LOL" at the person who gave it 1 star for a scratch. Granted the right earbud didn't work, but I digress. Ehem, anyway, back on topic.
I'd say yes, but shop around. I got mine for around $30, so bargain shopping is definitely good for this situation.
For $60? I'd look a bit lower. Check around at your local RadioShack or Electronics store.

Short answer: Christ no.
Long answer: Any and all Skullcandy headphones/earbuds are crap. If you're willing to spend $60 on headphones in the first place, might as well chip in a bit more for something worth half a damn. Look into buying some entry level Sennheisers, AKG K24P's, or the Grado SR60.

This site [http://www.headphone.com/] is a good resource for headphones. My main advice is this: Don't settle for less.

Did you get them new?

I'm a bit anal about buying used things.

I'd look into those, but so far, Skullcandys have never let me down.

Yeah, at FYE quite a while back.

I'm in agreement with Maet. You really don't want to go with Skullcandy. Not only are they not worth the money but 99% of the time you look like an idiot with them on (they are really tacky).

 

[ConnorCool]

skullcandy are like iPods, expensive, and not worth it, theyre just popular

this guy speaks the truth. Sennheisers are probably youre best bet, mine have never failed me

 

[C0nn0r666]

NO! they don't even look that cool

 

[bluepilot]

ouch...are they gold plated or something?

Headphones like that are liable to break after about 3 months or so.

I`d rather by a decent set of super retro headphones if I had the money (looks in wallet and cries).

 

[ShawnRiles]

My skullcandy's are starting to wear down, probably because my family drops them on the floor about a million times whilst on the computer.

 

[wwjdftw]

how in the Fuck do you get 3.5 out 1 and 4 its 3 wth?

 

[megapenguinx]

I saw those same ones at the Skull Candy booth at my mall for around $30. They are decent headphones (not entirely sound canceling though), and you might as well get their cheaper $12 ones since there is no difference between these and those.

 

[Skeleon]

No, you should never pay that much money for earbuds.
I bought some for 50? and guess what: The cable broke just as easily as the 2? ones I find at the local discounter.

 

[King_Paco]

yes. love skull candy
