SkullCandy Brings the Noise

March 7th, 2008 Wade

SkullCandy makes headphones, pretty darn good uns too. You want a pair? Okay, read this to see how to get a free pair. Seriously…

I recently got set of these headphones and at first site I thought, okay…. so. But when I plugged them into my MP3 player and started listening to a little 311 (I know I’m old skool) I could see what the buzz was about.

They have a really clear and powerful sound for a small set of speakers. They were comfortable, and seemed reasonably durable. I wasn’t so sure about the part that wraps over your head yet. It seemed a bit, well plasticy. BUT I gave them a good twist one way, then the other… then did that again. They didn’t even creak or moan. So that test went well.

Now would they stand the test of being packed in my backpack, stuffed under an airplane seat, pulled out, dropped, picked up, squished, mashed, scattered, smothered, covered, diced, and chunked. You get the picture….

And, they did. So, my final verdict is 8.5 out of 10. They are $29.95 over at SkullCandy.com, but hey… you could buy a $10 set, then break them the next week. Or get something that is decent. AND, has a SKULL on it. Sweeet.

And what the heck, we are all about contests this week. You want a pair? Send me the name of the 3 bands you’d listen to first on your new set of SkullCandy phones… Let me know over on the Forum and, well, I’ll pick somebody to take a pair home and rock out.
