So i walk into school today and i noticed that the amount of kids who have skullcandies have increased so much. 2 years ago the only kids with them were my brother, some random kid, and I. Anyone else been seeing this?

not at my school because most of the kids at my school with dj-style headphones are actually DJs, or they just know that Skullcandy doesn't make very good headphones.

I've noticed this.  Like they use to be just for skiers and snowboarders but now its like everyone has them.  I see like a bunch of ugly, loser wanna-be emo girls wearing them blasting they're gay screamo music and I'm like wow, any skier/snowboarder would just laugh at this.

But yea, I don't know why but I feel like I don't like it when things I like become really popular.  Its not like I'm gunna stop wearing skull candies but I just don't value them as much. 

And second of all, the larger headphones (I have a pair that I never use) are the biggest waste ever.  The quality of music is only a little better than the buds but the humongous size of them make it completely unfunctional.

i noticed that too. but if i see one more poser emo girl with them, i will probably kill someone.  honestly ive had smokin buds forever (like 4 pairs of them in the last few years) i feel like theyre not a s cool now (the new wooden ones are bretty badass tho)

im I the only one that goes through the buds a shit load. i have had 2 pairs of smokin buds. each lasted me about 4 months. I had 3 pairs of icons that all died within 5 months. my inked buds just died today after 3 months. my lowriders are falling apart. and the cord on my TIs has a short so I have to order a new one. and yes I know about the warent.

I had some fmjs that were sick but they broke and I got mad and broke my GIs but I still have 2 sets of low riders and a cheap pair of earphones. Skull candy is getting mad popular but I started using them before anyone else I know did.

Haha true. I don't care about Skullcandy headphones. I buy them because they are cheaper, and I get a pretty good amount of quality for the money.

exactly i paid ten dollars for my smokin buds and ten for my inked buds. with the lifetime warranty it works perfectly for skiing and stuff because i get pretty good sound quality and i don't worry about trashing them

ive never had a pair of skullcandys dj headphones, but i have 2 pairs of recruits and for their price, they sound great, not to mention theyre a lot more manageable than earbuds while skiing

One reason why they are blowing up is that they are sold at retail stores now. I was in staples the other day getting some shit for work. So I walked by this display thing and they were selling Skullcandys. It was kind of odd to see.

I would get stared at all the time when i used to wear my TIs and then everyone got the hesh ones or smokin buds, and now i dont wear them at school.

That and it sounds like that whole switch to target fucked all of their reps, what ski shop can compete with target/best buy selling headphones? so a lot of the ski shops didnt think it was smart to try to sell them so the reps couldnt sell the product to the shops
