- Headphones are very comfortable to wear, but are slightly heavy. The sound from these is excellent in range. Bass is defined and tight. Sound reproduction is as accurate as you'd need for monitor headphones.
- The headphones are great, with a solid feel and excellent sound. The ear cups are actually fairly heavy, and tend to slip down if you walk while wearing the headphones, but are fine for home use. The problem with my set was that the left speaker shorted out after about 4 months of use, without explanation. The JVC service website didn't even list this product and I was unable to get through to customer support by phone. These were great headphones for a little while and I haven't found another pair in the same price range with as nice a look, sound, and feel, but if you plan on buying them I would go for an extended warranty.
- I'm no audiophile, but these headphones are just plain awesome.
I love to listen to jazz, soul and funk. The vocals come out really clean, and it's a joy to listen to music with such clarity.
One of my best purchases from Amazon.

- I finally found earphones that were comfortable and sounded good to me. Even in hot and humid climates they worked well without discomfort.
- Got these because I lost my Shures. The Shures were the sub-$200 ones I picked up a couple years ago. These sounds at least as good if not better. They fit in my ears better and dont fall out. The inline volume control is nice too. Not too tinny, good bass for buds. I enjoy cranking hem!
These are a great value. I recommend them!
- these headphones have great sound and bass, but they are are hard to put on and it hurts!!!
- Please allow me to start off by saying that I can be very cheap (more on that later). Thank you.
My first experience with the Skullcandy brand was when my 20 year-old son was listening to his iPod in the back seat of my car, and I thought he was ignoring us when Dad and I would ask him a question or otherwise try to engage him in our conversation. We kept having to wave our hands in his face to get his attention, and I was beginning to get worried that he had the volume up too high. He apologized and stated that he didn't mean to ignore us. Then he asked me to try on his Skullcandy and asked me what I thought of the sound quality. Needless to say, I was supremely impressed!
My son said that he spent maybe ten dollars on his set when the music store where he bought it was doing their Christmas clearance. So I was getting ready to head on over to that store when I decided to first check out the Skullcandy web site to do some research on the product, and maybe read some reviews. Well, it was like walking into a cosmetics store for me to see the variety of styles and colors that they had displayed. The prices stunned me a bit at first; I had no idea that they were generally THAT expensive. And of course, these hot pink ones I fell in love with were not in stock. So I stewed over it a few days, tried on my son's earbuds again, and decided that I had to have it at $47.99 (the cheapest price at the time) at some random electronics web site I had never heard of.
PROS: The fabulous color, of course! The sturdy metal casing. The three different sized pairs of interchangable gels to customize a proper fit. The unbelievably clean sound and noise-canceling it provides. Which brings me to my only...
CON(S): Please remind your children to remain aware of their surroundings when using this product. You can block out the world and just revel in the full (I mean, PHENOMENAL AUDITORIUM QUALITY) music experience. But that means that they won't be able to hear anything; from a car driving too closely, to a group of rowdy people hovering nearby. There is, however, an amazing feature which I call an "Almost Mute" switch on the color-coordinated piece where the two individual cords meet from the actual ear buds. Once moved, you can still hear the music, but will allow the listener about 90% of being able to hear his surroundings again. Switch it back to "Almost Deaf" to ignore your annoying buddy.
If you have children who are responsible and in a safe and friendly, well-lit environment, this CON need not apply. Best to be fully aware of their surroundings anyway. Hey, this is a Mom talking.
One last PRO: Great for running. These babies won't fall out of your ears. In fact (and this was my deciding factor for writing this review), my husband gave up on his own iPod earbuds and the assortment of black and gray ones which belong our children---ten sets total in our house---and asked me to borrow my Skullcandy when he ran his PFA with his Navy unit last week. Yes, this hot pink, girly, totally effeminate one. Why? He didn't need to worry about anything falling off his ears while he was being timed on his run. This doesn't shift around at all with movement. This doesn't cause pain inside your ear. It's impossible to push too far in, and never pops out.
All in all, this product is a great innovation. I've given up on the cheap brands and all of the after-market earbuds. And when I get a complimentary set with a new audio or video gadget, I just offer it to one of my children, or just throw it away. Skullcandy is a more-than-satisfying investment which will not ever let you down.
- Okay I consider myself a very knowledgeable and informed consumer. I have tried many a pair of earbuds in my day. I have owned Shure E2c, Sony EX-51 and 71's, and the V-Moda Vibes. I just bought the V-Moda's and love them. I almost bought the Skullcandy 11mm FMJ but online but insisted on the vibes. Well I was in a Mar$hall'$ yesterday and found the FMJ 11mm for 29 bones. I was shocked because I was ready to spend about 70 to get them online. So I picked up a pair expecting to return them 2 hours later. Let me tell you they give the vibes a run for their money. The bass is very clean and powerful more so than the vibes. The vibes still have better reproduction of mids and highs, but not by much. I was totally surprised how good the Skullcandy product was especially because all the audiophiles out there instist their products are garbage. They would be as shocked as I was if they only listened to FMJ 11mm. If I compared them to the Shure e2c, the FMJ's are far superior. I would say stay away from the Shure's. They are way overpriced and sound tinny and thin. The Sonys were ok (decent sound and pretty good bass), but cheaply made hence the 51's then the 71's. Regular headphones will always be better, but Kudos to Skullcandy for the excellent product. A+
