I have yet to find a pair of earphones that actually last longer than a few months. I've had these for a month, and hopefully they'll keep working. The great thing, though, is for $12.95, I don't care. These are great earphones and I hope to have them for a long time, but they are easily replaced if lost or stolen or attacked by a cat. I have a pair of $50+ V. Moda earbuds that need to be sent back because they broke after 2 months. And I haven't noticed a significant sound difference.

These stay in my ear pretty well (and ipod earbuds do not fit in my ear at all) and are comfortable. They also do a good job of keeping out outside noise. Highly recommended.

I purchased this item about 3 months ago. The earphones are extremely comfortable and they sound great. They are also very good at keeping unwanted noise out of your ears and isolating you from them. But what made me want to write this review is due to the very poor quality of the product. They only lasted for a little over 3 months and then one lost sound and eventually both of the earplugs stopped functioning!



UPDATE: JUNE 7, 2010.

My second pair of Skullcandy Earbuds just stopped functioning after only a couple of months. I bought this second pair b/c I thought maybe I abused the first one and caused it to break after 3 months of use. But just like the old pair, this new pair was comfy and had great sound, but it turned out to be even LESS reliable than the old one. I took great care of my second pair but it still broke. I will NEVER buy a SKULLCANDY product again. Never, ever again!

Wow, I just traded my Koss sparkplugs for these because I liked what I had read about them, and the way they look better, and Im glad I did. They sound awesome and are so comfortable. The metallic green color looks so cool too. If you are looking for a nice, inexpensive set of earbuds that are comfortable and sound good, get these. You will be glad you did.

More comfortable than the standard issue iPod earbuds, and the sound is better as well. Can't beat the price.

The seller was fine. Only problem was that the product stopped working after a month. One ear of great sound doesn't work for ear buds.

I'd been coveting a pair of these Skullcandy earbuds for the longest but the price was too high for me to try an unknown product. Last weekend they were on sale at Target so I took the plunge and purchased a pair. Although this color clashes badly with my ipod shuffle, it reminds me of my niece (since it's her favorite color) so I got them in the lime green.

Initially I was extremely disappointed with the tinny sound; thought I'd gotten a defective pair and planned to return them ASAP - but after reading the reviews written for the silver pair, I realized that my unfamiliarity with "noise reducing ear buds" was the problem not the ear buds themselves. I inserted the buds more firmly into my ears & VOILA! - surround sound music swelled in my ears, gone was the tinny and in its place the perfect pitch of bass & instruments. I was in music heaven during that ride home, let me tell `ya! They are also excellent at blocking the noise of the subway and the miscellaneous & sometimes loud conversations of those around me.

Since I'm using the buds with an ipod shuffle there are a couple of annoyances:

1) I have very small ears and although I'm using the smallest foam pieces, I have to adjust the buds during my commute because one or both has jostled a little out of my ears.

2) The noise that the rubber wire makes whenever I move - I try to hold onto the wires as I'm walking so it's not THAT bad but if these buds came with a clip that would eliminate this problem.

Having read a lot of the comments regarding the life of these buds, I'm cautiously enjoying mine and highly recommend them especially if you can get them for the price that I did ($11). Since I use them during my daily commute only I truly hope that they function for at least a year or more if I treat them right.

I really like these earbuds. They came with different size earbud things, which is really awesome because not many earbuds fit in my ears. The sound quality is awesome too. Very good product :)

Bought a pair of these earbuds at Target and was very impressed. These earbuds are extremely comfortable and very good at blocking outside noises. The buds fit in your ear not on them like the ipod earbuds. This style seems to be much more comfortable and doesnt hurt my ears like the ipod headphones do.

I've been using skull candy for a while, mostly for the bass and the price. For the price, they're not bad. The bass is good and they keep noise out pretty well. They sound pretty "bright" though, and it's kind of annoying. I've tried messing with the EQ on my device and so far I haven't had any luck fixing it. They don't last very long either. They usually go out within 6 months to a year if you're lucky.

For the price, these are decent headphones. If you are looking for excellent sound quality and durability though, save up for a better quality headset. It'd be worth your while.

I bought these headphones because a lot of the time, When I want to listen to my music library, there are several people over who do not want to hear it and I needed a decent pair of earbuds that cancelled out most of the noise. Now, mind you, they don't cancel out every sound ever, but they do a great job of muffling loud sounds so distractions are limited. When I first put in the buds, I noticed that the sound when putting them in was kind of annoying. It was like you could hear the earwax squelching against the headphones, but that really is my only gripe. The sound quality is rather good, with the bass being full and, out of all the headphones I've tried, had a thump to them. Now, this isn't many headphones, but I was impressed with this. The mid-range is there and isn't distorted by the highs, which are very crisp and clear, but not painful. The cord is a rather perfect length, making sure that they don't get tangled up between myself and my laptop. I tried the headphones on every genre I had in my library and all of them seemed to have the perfect sound for their respective type of music. I'm not saying these headphones are going to dethrone any several hundred dollar cans or reference headphones, but for the money, these headphones are quality. I would reccommend this to any person who is looking for a pair of quality headphones, but doesn't want to break their bank.

Pros:
Great balanced sound for several genres.
Great fit with additional rubber ends.
Good cord length.

Cons:
Earwax-squishing sound when inserting, but not a major problem.
