i had the smokin buds and they were good. for the full metals, it depends whether you like the buds that go right in your ear or not.... quality, we all know there's better, but theyre still good enough

I've had the Ink'd ones for well over a year now, and they're great. I think they sound awesome, especially since they're the cheapest of the earbuds. I use them almost every day in the summer in all weather conditions and haven't had a problem with them. I recommend them.

they suck to be honest. theyll break. you can find much better buds for less... they just wont be as cool looking as the skullcandys.

for ear buds go with the chops.  they have the ear wrap so they stay in pretty well and they don't get ripped out easily

Sure the headphones arent the greatest but there warranty is. I had ink'd buds and they broke and I reterned them to the store and the gave me new ones right away. It took about 1/2 a year to break. My new ones are going strong though

ink'd are the way to go, good sound and they are cheap and skullcandy replaces them more often than any other headphone.

drop the money on the FMJ
ive had mine since christmas and they have held up
buy them on amazon for like 40$

the bass is super phat and never have i actully heard that good of sound quality.

the metal wire gets REALLY fucking annoying though but if you dont mind having an anooying wire its all good

i probibly wouldnt ski with them eaither becaus ethe metal wire gets fucking hard as tits when you ski with them

sorry for the shitty typing mac keyboards suck.

I have the full metal jackets with the optional Blackberry/Iphone thing with them. Awesome headphones. Solid bass. I would say that they are a slight step dow from the Bose in ear head phones. But they are also less in price so very comparable.
