If literally all you want is bass, they're passable. If you want something that sounds good, stay away.

I liked the Skullcandy Hesh 2. I think they discontinued the model I had, or maybe I just switched to wireless headphones because of my phone, but at the time the Hesh 2 was only wired so I couldn't get it anymore.

I wore a pair for a couple years, I think the Crusher. Perfectly cromulent, they were the kind that just sit on your ears rather than go over them completely, so not much for noise cancelation or anything like that.

If you're not fussy about sound quality, they are adequate. If you are, then steer clear.

cromulent? that word has never been used outside of simpsons. The skullcandy headphones seem to be super popular for major retailers to sell around the time of black friday. Wonder why

Funny how you don't see people wearing Beats nowadays. They used to be everywhere. Beats are OK, but you can do better for less money.

If you want wireless, it's hard to do better than Sony WH-1000XM4.

AKG and Sennheiser both make very good quality headphones for reasonable prices. That's where I would start looking.

Don't a huge number of people still wear beats?

The problem these days with Beats (outside of pricing) is that Apple just never fucking refreshes them. The Solo3 has been going for over 7 years now and thus is using old tech/standards from that period of time. Like Apple hasn't even updated them to charge via USB-C, they still have a microUSB charging port

I stopped fucking with skullcandy because time and time again their ear buds proved to be the lowest quality pieces of shit on the market each and every single time I gave them a chance. Not once had a single pair I bought lasted longer than a month. Skullcandy is such an awful brand. I don't know how they're even still in business or why people buy their shit.

For their price they're not bad specifically because it's pretty easy to get various discounts on them. That said, if you're willing to pay a bit more? You can get a noticeable improvement in audio quality.

So really it boils down to what your budget is. If your budget is capped out at where you find some discounted Skull Candy then odds are it'll do alright for you but if you have a higher budget than that you can absolutely find better.

They were very mediocre to say the least. But if you're not fussy, or using a low quality source, it doesn't really matter.

I said this before, but think of audio like you would fps and resolution in a videogame. Some people (including me) are fine playing 30fps in 720p. Some people (not including me) are fine listening to 256kbps streams through cheap earbuds.

But for others, that simply isn't good enough and it affects their enjoyment.

When it's the early 2000s, and all your music is 128kbps mp3s you got using Limewire . . .

It was a constant thing. I remember picking them out cause they looked cool, then they died within the week. Gave them another shot cause I figured it was a fluke and the same thing happened. Bought a third pair cause they still looked cool and no way could the same thing happen to a 3rd pair, and it did. So I swore off skullcandy for a good long while until I decided to give them a 4th shot. I figured hey, maybe it was a production issue with that specific batch or maybe that one store I got then from had a bum shipment, and instead of buying them from Target I got them at Best Buy instead. They lasted a little bit longer but still died on me really quick. I didn't touch another pair for years. I kept on seeing them pop up in more and more stores, started seeing headphones and what not too. Their product mix was increasing, they were becoming more and more popular in my area, and I was seeing more and more generous mentions of them online and I figured I was going skullcandy insane cause they were so trashy for me. Later on I decided to give them another chance, because despite their flaws they still look really cool. Same thing happened. I think I've finally learned my lesson.

I really don't get it. Maybe I just have great luck with winning the shittiest lottery. Maybe I'm selectively deaf when I try skullcandy products. Maybe there's a worldwide conspiracy against me and everyone is fucking with me. I have no clue what it is but skullcandy has always been trash for me it's crazy.

I have a in the ear wired pair. I've had them at least 10 years. Mind you recently they have been boxed up since my move in 2020, then couldn't use them because of the bells palsy (loud thumping in ear). So about 7 years daily use. I switch between Sony and those.

My Sony pair bit it though. Pads wore out. I might buy another pair but I'll wait for a sale somewhere

You should be able to replace the pads yourself.

Can't remember the name of the ones I had, but the sound was ok - just ok, nothing noteworthy or better than other ones available. Almost any other ones available.

They did break very easily.
