4.0 out of 5 stars Pay Attention to how you put these on, June 23, 2009

This review is from: Skullcandy SC-LOW/BG Lowrider Headphone (Black and Gold) (Electronics)

Most of us who use these types of headphones don't pay attention to how far we stretch the band when placing it over our head. It's really quite a lot of stress and stretch. If you pay attention then you won't have a problem.
You don't have to baby these headphones. The only weak point is the middle of the headband, which is connected by a metal screw bar.

If you pay attention to how you put them on (ie: adjust the side lengths and then slide them over your head); you'll be fine. Sound quality is good all around. Better than the earbuds you get w/ your Ipod.
Take care of this, don't wrap your cords too taunt, or fast and vigorously; this pulls the cords loose.

These are marketed as Sports Headphones on SkullCandy's website. I would say they're good for walking and maybe running. They're snug but not snug enough to stay on when bouncing, jumping, boarding etc. The best upside is that you get no "tapping" noise when touching or bumping the wires.

Pros:
- good sound
- comfortable
- Adjustable
- folds up and stores easily
- good for walking
- No wire noise

Cons:
- Not really Sports Headphones
- No Noise Reduction! (a tiny bit BETTER than regular Ipod earbuds)
only an issue when in a car or airplane
NOT an issue while walking or on the train
(tested only on BART in CA Bay Area)

- NOT for high bass listeners or hardcore music, heavy metal, Rap etc.
- A little awkward to wrap wires around the folded headphones when storing

- THE BIG ONE: head band is weaker than most NON-Foldable headphones; but still durable, provided care (what did you expect for foldys?)
bottom line: its delicate BUT NOT FRAGILE!

PS I bought the green/black from OneCall for $35. I would still trust all sellers of SkullCandy Lowriders

PSS
OH YEAH and wear these backwards ie(Right cup on Left ear). That way you can swivel the cup into your ear (much better isolation of sound). IDK why they overlooked this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great., February 4, 2008

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Skullcandy SC-LOW/BG Lowrider Headphone (Black and Gold) (Electronics)

Sure, they don't sound any better than the headphones that came with my nano, but I got them because I freakin' hate earbuds, not for sound. Looks good, comfortable, and great for the music I listen to.
(like Gorillaz, Fall Out Boy and They Might Be Giants, which don't need much bass unlike Slipknot or SoD.) All around great product that looks good, sounds good when listening to alternative and is much more comfortable than those stupid earbuds that came with your mP3 or ipod. I'm only eleven, so don't think I have tried too many good headphones in my life, but if your are used to cheap-o headphones, this will be a treat.
4/5.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome headphones, great buy, March 4, 2009

This review is from: Skullcandy SC-LOW/BG Lowrider Headphone (Black and Gold) (Electronics)

I have no idea what people are talking about. I bought these because my Skullcandy earbuds (great buds by the way) would fall out of my ears if I wore them snowboarding. They clamp on great and never fall off, which is awesome since I have a pretty small head and I've always had issues with over-the-head headphones sliding down or being uncomfy. the pad under the cross bar makes them super comfortable to wear and the super soft pads on the ears are fantastic.

These are great headphones that sound awesome and crank out just enough power-- not too much. I love music but I'd also like to grow old and still be able to hear, so those of you that think the bass isn't loud enough, maybe it's a good thing if you anticipate liking music in the future.

I have the black and gold ones that match my board and bindings and I can't believe I didn't buy them earlier.

The only disadvantage I'd say is that the cord is really really long. I'm 5'5 ish and if my iPod is in my pocket, the cord reaches down to my knees.

BUY THEM.
