    First pair of head phones that I ever bought that don’t work. Took them right out of the package the next day to try them out and can’t even get them to power up let alone use them.

    Nice sound but definitely cannot withstand a 12 yr old's use very long. Not saying these are bad, just not for being thrown in backpacks

    I read all the raving reviews but if you can't keep the earbuds in your ear, it doesn't matter how good the sound is. I tried all the sizes of the gels, but nothing helped. Then I went to the Skull Candy website and looked these up. Their website says that it comes with optional FitFin gels which would help, if they had been included in the box. They were not.

    I purchased 3 of these. Only 1 of them still works less then 20 days. The 2nd pair did not work right out of the box, the 3rd pair, connector that plugs into the phone wasn’t attached. Needless to say I will never buy this brand again.

    The Skullcandy wired earbuds are great for using with my iPhone. There’s no need for a dongle with it having a lightning connector, and no worries about keeping a check on the battery life since they’re wired. It has pretty good sound, but nothing that’ll blow you away. It has some bass, but not as much bass as I’d like. The volume control, play/pause, and skip/forward track buttons work welll and have a nice tactile feedback. Overall, a good set of wired earbuds for your iPhone.

    Great Treble, Bass and Comfort

    These earbuds are excellent. For anyone that doesn’t want to deal with the connectivity challenges of Bluetooth encountered from time to time, the limited battery life of some wireless earbuds or earphones, or just wants a decent set of wired earbuds, these are great! They were extremely comfortable in my ears and stayed in securely while just roaming around the house as well as when I went for a walk. The sound is impressive; the tone and bass for this price range is really good. I wish I would have found these when I was looking for wired earbuds a few years ago. I think they equally compare, or in some cases are better, than some of the higher end wired earbuds that I have used for my music and video. My only recommendation would be to include a small container of some sort to store these in. I know that there is tendency for wired buds to become tangled, and ultimately unusable, overtime if not stored or wrapped properly that would help avoid tangling. Yes, if you like wired earbuds and don’t want to spend a ton of money, these are for you!
