skullcrushers are dope, i got mine for $40 online somewhere, if you look around, they're mad cheap.  they're wicked durable too, they feel like they'll break, but they've taken many falls

I have the T.I.s. They're pretty dope, but I'd say go with the Skullcrushers, especially if you like a lotta bass.

GOOD CALL

I have a pair of Crushers on right now. They are the best sound-emitting device I have ever worn. I prefer them to normal speakers. They can so mad loud, and the bass boost is so amazing. Going back to normal headphones is impossible.

My friend got the TI's and said they are not that great. They look REAL balla, but other than that they don't provide much in terms of sound quality.

I've never taken my Crushers skiing, the only downside is that they are pretty big on your head, so it might be ahrd to fit them around your goggles/hat/helmet/hair whatever.

Okay im going to tell you right now. Despite how they look. Skullcandy makes crappy headphones. They just do. they have like the worst frequencys Iv ever seen.  BUT. If your going for sound. Go with the Skull crushers. They dont look to pretty but you can crank the bass up as high as you please.

yeah, they look dank, and its a cool company, but they sound like any other pair of 10 dollar, included-with-your-cd player headphones. if you want a pair of SICK headphones, go find some Sony MDRVJ700s, the big silver ones. they can be had for like 80 bucks. the sound quality is ridiculous, they can handle 3 fucking watts of power, and look amazing. i bought mine almost 2 years ago, and it was one of the best purchases ive ever made. i use them just about every day. plus, they can legitimately double as speakers

yeah, I had a bunch of FYE gift cards so I was comparing the TI's and the sound canceling ear buds skullcandy makes to the Sony’s I have now. The frequency is so much smaller. All around Sony makes better headphones if you’re not going for pure steez.
