because most people are listening to mp3 rips that they torrented or took from youtube, so its not like they need super duper quality headphones designed to decompress high quality music. as for the high price, 30 dollars for a pair isnt so terrible considering its a name brand and they look cool.

download a song in full WAV quality, listen to it with some skullcandys, then go listen to it with some real headphones...if you cant tell the difference you're either deaf or retarded

^ no but a decent $70 pair of good not over priced (i.e not beats) headphones makes a 200% difference between that and white apple headphones

I'm not saying skull candy is the best..but they r an okay headphone for what we do......skiing. Good quality headphones are only for people who have enough money to replace them after they fall on a rail. There are other brands..but I have broken another pair of headphones and yet my skull candy's are still going strong even after eatin shit a lot of times

you can get headphones or earbuds that are far better sounding and more durable than skullcandys for less than $25

bought these a little under a year ago from factory direct for 19.99 brand new.
Sound quality is great, and they're loud as fuck too. Been using them at all my gigs since I bought them and they do a good job for cheap as fuck plus theyre durable and compactable (foldable)

candy used to be a dope brand years ago, when u could send em a broken pair of headphones, and if your story was a cool one on how you broke em, or you broke em skiing or snowboarding, they would replace em for free.

now i believe all we get is a 10% off coupon or something like that if a pair breaks and we want a new one. makes me happy for em in one sense cause theyre HUGE now and are doing great, but at the same time i miss the days when i wore my skullcandys around town, and no one had ever heard of the brand :(

Buy skullcandy because they are cheap and easy to find when you need a replacement. I've got a pair of shure SRH840'S for home recording and music production that will never leave my house.

Expensive headphones sound far better than cheaper ones and when it comes to music production you need a flat headphone with no equalization to make sure the song will sound good on the majority of speakers.
