just gonna toss this out there, but they were probably made with the exact same components that skullcandy uses. I posted a thread about this a while back, but heres a link to the article..

basically, every single headphone skullcandy and other brands in that price range offer to the public are the same components re-packaged and re-branded for the company who is buying wholesale. they will all fall apart/break like skullcandy tends to, and they'll all sound the same shitty way. except kids who listen to pop and hip-hop and other tunes that the average NSer listens to think they sound great because they have a really heavy bias towards the bass end of the sound spectrum.
