3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound quality but lack of durability, July 22, 2009

This review is from: Skullcandy (Product Out Of Date, Newer Version Available) INK'D Earbuds (Silver) (Electronics)

These earbuds were given to me by my sister for my birthday and I loved them because the quality of sound is much better than that of the earbuds that come with the iPod. Also, they do an excellent job of blocking out all other sounds so you listen to only your music and nothing else. However, I soon found out that the product lacked durability.

I carry my iPod to school with me everyday and from being in my pocket all the time, the base of the earbuds where the wire goes into the MP3 player tore after about 3 months. I lost sound in one earbud and I decided that was fine and I would continue using them. I later would lose sound in the other earbud and I looked into the warranty they have.

I found out from the Skullcandy website that the warranty covers them for a lifetime and if the product fails from normal use they will replace it, or if you should tear the earbuds they will send you a 50% off coupon as long as you send in the shreds of your earbuds. Through this warranty I have gone through 3 sets of the earbuds in just under 2 years and haven't paid for the subsequent sets.

I will continue to use them as the quality is unmatched for the price and even if you don't treat your earbuds well I would recommend them to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best buds for their low price!, January 18, 2009

This review is from: Skullcandy (Product Out Of Date, Newer Version Available) INK'D Earbuds (Silver) (Electronics)

I was seriously considering buying a pair of Skullcandy Titans or FMJs up until a few days ago. But given their high price (the case of the FMJs) and mixed reviews (the case of both) I decided to go with something tried and true, namely, these Ink'd buds.

I just picked these up from a local Bestbuy and I have to say, they're much better than I expected in every way possible. I think their good-quality sound-isolation and superb bass are their selling points. The treble sounds not to tinny either (which is good). These buds really do seem to make you notice things in your songs that you didn't seem to hear before.

The jack is set in a straight position, but it looks durable enough to be bent in most angles (just in case though, don't repeatedly try this!). And as with ALL sound-isolating earbuds, the wire causes a barely-noticeable bit of interference when you move it (i.e. brushing it against your clothing), but I don't feel that this is an issue at all, since even the lower-volume settings with these drown those out.

All-in-all, I wouldn't be surprised if these were comparable in sound-quality and overall specs to the Titan and FMJ.

..Overview..

Pros:

- Great sound-isolation

- Great to superb-quality bass

- Wire seems sturdy and durable (though I'm not one of those people who would wrap earbud wires around their iPods)

- Great, affordable pricing

- Soft silicon earpieces feel extremely comfortable, they don't irritate/cause discomfort at all. They come in 3 sizes (small, medium, large), though the default mediums should fit fine for most.

Cons (they're pretty minor):

- Doesn't come with a carrying pouch/case (but hey, for just $20, what do you expect? I just used a pouch from my previous pair of buds, problem solved)

- There aren't left/right markings on the buds which leaves me to wonder, does it really matter which buds goes in which ear..? For me, I just look at the Skullcandy plastic bit where the two earbud wires join and orient left and right as the left side/right side of the bit.

..Notes..

- Wire may be a bit too long, though I can see that it could really come in handy when you're carrying your MP3 player in your pants pocket and need that extra length. Due to this extra length, it also compensates for the fact that it's a symmetrical split in the wires of the left/right buds, so there's always enough wire for each side of the ear.

- There is a slight sticking/popping sound when you are inserting these into your ears, don't worry, this is normal. It's just the silicon earpieces sticking together and adjusting their shape to fit your ear canal

- Might be a little obvious but... All people listen to music that can be either slightly or drastically different and thus, everyone's experience with the same kind of earbuds can be very different as well. Keep this in mind when browsing for your next pair of earbuds. Not to deter you from buying this pair or anything, though!

4.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't matter what color they are, they are great!, October 23, 2007

The "Ink'd" earbuds (which were available locally for the same price) were an impulse buy for my wife because I could get pink to match her new Ipod Nano. However, when I read notes on the Ipod earbuds, I was glad I bought them, and she was even more so. She loves them, so much so that I bought her a spare pair and bought a set for our daughter to match her Ipod Shuffle. I recommend them for your MP3 player or any other portable music solution, or for use with your laptop when traveling. Great value, solid performers, low price.
