Skullcandy - Smokin' Buds Earbud Headphones - Green

For the price, I have to say these are pretty good headphones. I wanted to replace my OEM earbuds on my iPhone but really didnt want to spend much. These headphones fit the bill nicely. The overly long cord was both a benefit and detraction, mainly as I use these headphones for exercise. When I put the iphone on the treadmill in front of me, because the cord was so long, I could never seem to get them out of my way. I launched my phone off the treadmill three times before I figured out I was going to need to hold the phone (which I didn't want to do). Since then, I have used an arm-band holder for the phone and now the long cord works great since I string it behind my back to keep it out of the way. The sound from these are good. My only criticism is they dont control volume like my OEM buds, but I knew that going in, so I can't really complain. Overall, good earphones and worth the price!!

Well, it is a Skull Candy product so the price tag is to be expected. However, with that in consideration, I am surprisingly pleased by the quality and comfort of the product. My only complaints are the lack of volume control, and the fact that the button (which is easily clicked on accident) bring up the voice command prompt on my Note 3 and stops the music. Skull Candy should release some sort of firmware to address this issue.

Good earbuds, sound quality is just fine and they do what earbuds are meant to do. The flat wire makes me think it'll last a bit longer than my previous SkullCandy earbuds, and the 2 year free replacement guarantee I got makes these an absolute deal. Now the issues: The button on the earbud wire is supposed to switch songs when you double-press and play/pause on single press. It plays/pauses just fine, but it's very hard to get it to register a double-press, so it often ends up just pausing the current song rather than switching songs. Even tightly in my ear the buds will start to slip out over time. The carrying case that comes bundled is very cheap and tiny plastic. You have to wind the earbuds just right or jam it in there to get it to close. That said it does look nice, but looks won't protect your earbuds. Overall, these are just earbuds, nothing too fantastic about them but nothing too terrible either. If you can get the same free replacement deal I did then get these, as I can guarantee that you won't want to pay an additional $30, $40+ dollars for earbuds you accidentally twisted too much.

I have had some other in-ears (C5) that cost ten times what these did, and the sound quality just doesn't match up when it comes to the highs. If you want good sound for rock, rap, or most movies, then you should be fine. I ended up getting some Comply tips to replace the rubber ones that came with these (which cost almost as much as the headphones) and they're a nice upgrade for comfort and isolation, but these did pretty well on their own. The cords are slightly flattened, which helps them to tangle a bit less, but not as well as a Velodyne pair I used. However, the Velodyne (vPulse) cord picked up every movement I made; these ones aren't nearly as bad. It doesn't say so on the packaging, but these work on Android phones and tablets (Moto X and Nexus 7) - pressing the button on the cord triggers voice search or toggles pause when playing music. Very helpful.

If you are looking for a cheap headset, this is a good one. Already have Beats, which are outstandingly better, but you can't put beats in your pocket when you take them to school. Good quality for this type of headset. I like the new flat cord design.

This is a decent set of ear buds. I like the sound quality, and you can skip from track to track with a button on the cable. They block out other sounds well enough. There's some rubber foam-like coating over the earpieces for comfort, but they feel odd and flimsy. Sometimes its hard to get them to stay in my ears, but isn't that a problem with ear buds in general? This set comes with a cheap plastic case to keep them safe in your purse or backpack. It's nothing fancy to write home about, but it gets the job done.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on headphones but want sounds that have some dynamics and make you feel like you're using something of good quality - these are for you. The sound is quite good considering price and moreover, these headphones are comfortable. However, they will not last forever. Be gentle with these as it's usually first the controls that fail and fade and then finally the dreaded "audio from one channel" conundrum. On the whole, I do recommend these so as long as you don't pay more than $30.

Good sound and comfort, but has a problem when getting wet from running. It starts to short out.
