A great, inexpensive pair of buds

May 4th, 2013

by Charlie

These were the first earbuds and first of anything i've bought from Skullcandy. I had to RMA the first pair because the cord began to split and the left ear died on me, but through skullcandy's very nice warranty policy, I managed to get a second pair and I've had no problems whatsoever. My first pair lasted approx. 3 months, and the second pair I still currently use, and I've had these for well over half a year now, if not longer. I use these things all of the time, and I love them. The sound isn't anything amazing, and there is practically no bass, but for their price, the sound you get out of them is quite good. They are a bit durable for the most part, after me shoving them into my bookbag and occasionally ripping them out of my ears and phone by accident, they're still almost mint condition. Overall, great pair of buds for their price. I've never gotten the mic on mine to work though, but I have a headset for that.

BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

Not good.

The only thing I liked about this product was the sound quality, but even the sound quality wasn't the best. There is little bass, and they just do not sound well. They were very uncomfortable for long term use, and they are very easily broken. Mine were broken after a month. All and all not worth the price. Spring for one of there more expensive pairs.

These things cannot be destroyed by your typical source. Water. Forgot my one pair in my pockets twice and it they went through the wash and dryer. I was shocked that they are still working till this day. Simply amazing.

A+ for value and warranty

I'm not a music phile, nor am I discerning enough to be able to tell the difference between great sound, excellent sound, and mind blowing sound. But, for the average consumer who uses headphones to watch Netflix on their phone or to listen to some music while they workout, these headphones are a perfect fit. I'm on my 3rd pair of smokin' buds. The first two, each after about 8 months of age, one ear bud had suddenly stopped working. But that's ok, and here's why: Skullcandy stands behind their products 100%. I sent them back to the company, they gave me 100% replacement value in "store credit", I picked out a new pair on their website, and 3 days later I had them in my hands. Not too many companies out there today that are this reputable. I'm actually on the site today because I just finished ordering a pair of smokin' buds for my wife and one for my mother to give as Mother's Day presents.

MOST POWERFULL SOUND EVER HEARD

by Harish Ambarkar

Honestly saying this is a kind music experiance,i always wanted to hear.i was using sennheiser before it was good but when i got these buds, it was like the music experiance is re-energised. Really i am happy with my smokin buds. These buds are for those who don't compromise with music experiance, but only thing is it doesn't work with my dell xcd28 moblle, its my kind request to you to provide me the solution for the same but over all its really SMOKIN BUDS.

Had the first version for over a year now and they still havent broken. Bought this version anyway for the mic and i was actually surprised they sound even better. Then only down side is accidently activating the voice control with the mic button on ipod touch.

Everybody should own a pair

Definitely my go to headphone. These have great sound quality and they drown out sound. Always have a pair of these in my pocket, never know when they will come in handy. Very comfortable and stylish. In my opinion these are the best in ear headphones to buy if you are on a budget. Sound quality is amazing for the price, and I love the fact that Skullcandy backs all of their headphones with lifetime warranties.

I had these earphones once before and I loved them, I was so upset when they got stepped on and I had to send them back. I finally got another pair I liked and I love them. The bass sounds amazing. The sound is much richer than the Ink'd pair I have so I don't have to turn the volume up so loud.

I got these headphones as a replacement for my ink'd headphones, initially I loved them. They sound great, they are comfortable but then I took them on the mountain. These headphones (with the mic) HATE cold weather and will make you want to rip them out of your ear and throw them off the lift. Something with the cold makes it continuously bounce around to different songs, pause and play randomly, tell you the name of the song, etc. And all of that happens within a few seconds of each other. I thought it was a short at first until I took them to work and they worked and performed just fine. So yes, I would recommend these for general use, warm summertime activities even, but don't get the ones with the mic if you are wanting to use them in cold weather.

Great Bass !

by Alan

i've got the smokin buds about three days ago, i got it on the official skullcandy ebay site brands.ebay.com with a discount , i'm very happy with my purchase, thanks to skullcandy for there amazing discounts on ebay, i love the sound quality , the bass is awesome ! but i wish the quality of the ear buds would be just a little better, i mean they should use some different kind of material to coat the earbuds, i got mine in the color White/Green from there 2011 line

BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

great quality

November 11th, 2012

by Cameron

not my first pair of SK, i also have Hesh 2.0, and i had some skull crushers. but onward with the review. the bass is amazing, good highs, decent lows and vocals. over all for the price, there a steal. there almost comparable to the Hesh 2. the the only complaint is comfort. i normally like the gel ear buds, but these start to hurt pretty fast. even with the smaller size they come with it still felt uncomfortable. aside that small factor, great value.

My first pair that I got to replace some cheap rocketfishes that broke. Fantastic at such an affordable price!! Even better when you get them on sale. I am a devoted customer, plus a great warranty policy. I also have a pair of riots and 2 50/50s. The full range seems to be great and is really based on the price point. Something for every budget.

I got these a few months ago, and they are absolutely amazing! The buds are a great value. My friend got a pair of 50/50's and I got a pair of smokin' buds. My smokin buds have outlasted his ear buds by a long shot. The buds are very comfortable. I can go all day and my ears will be fine. The sound quality is astonishingly good. My smokin' buds still sound the same as when i had first taken them out of the box. I am very satisfied.

Comfy, but hardly any sound

October 24th, 2012

by Nicole L.

I have had great experiences with other Skullcandy earbuds, but these ones left me wondering what went wrong. They're comfortable enough--those three sets of covers make it easy to find the perfect fit--but they have terrible sound. I have my phone volume turned up to the max, and I can still barely hear my music. Given my past positive experiences, I am very disappointed. I guess it's worth it t pay more for a better version.

Great Sound!

These are the best sounding headphones I've had. They sound way better than the ink'd headphones. I also compared them to my gf's titans and I was surprised to find that I liked these more. The base seems better and they don't sound tinny.

Blown in two days

by Karen

Usually get the ink'ed but thought I'd try these. Left earbud didn't completely blow out but the volume is noticeably lower than the right one. Went right out and got another pair of ink'ed earbuds. These were a complete waste of the extra money.

i LOVE this! at first, it didn't fit my ear at all, but i realized that a smaller earbud thing came with it. i put it on and it sounds AMAZING. even though i fall asleep while listening to music and accidentally tug on the cords and stuff, it NEVER breaks! i fell asleep with an apple earbud once, and it broke in one night (lol) i've also used a beats earbud before, but this is way cheaper and has better sound.

These Headphones Are Great!

September 10th, 2012

by Jeremy

I bought these headphones a while ago because I had just gotten a new phone. The sound is amazing. I can hear everything that goes on in the music. It blocks out all the noise from the outside so I could just focus on the music. It, of course, is a great looking headphone to. It's very comfortable. There is just one reason I won't give it 5 out of 5: it kept falling out of my ears. I found myself having to put the right ear bud in the left ear and vice versa. The mic1 also worked well on calls to. GET THESE HEADPHONES THOUGH!

Nice but...

Incredible sound, excellent operation but the materiel they're made from (rubber, silicone?) sticks to everything and gets caught or snagged and makes for a very uncomfortable experience working out or mowing the lawn.

I have tried them all, including Bose (I damaged those), but excluding Beats. Upon leaving the store, I immediately connected to my iPod. I was impressed. Now I'm listening thru my laptop and can't be more pleased. I also was thrilled a case was included since every earbud I've own has been 'killed' from throwing them in my purse or bookbag. This is my first Skullcandy purchase, and I'm not dissappointed.

Dodgy model - Go for the Inked instead

July 27th, 2012

by Adam

Very disappointed... These do not live up the the usual skull candy standard. Terrible build quality on this models mic button. I had my headset replaced twice. Unit 1: button stuck constantly. Unit 2: button stopped working after 1 week. Unit 3 Button keeps triggering itself. After 3 bad sets I just got my money back. Go for the Inked instead, They were my previous headset and worked fine.

Compact and Simple

July 16th, 2012

by RF

Very streamlined simple design that allows some suction when the bud is placed into the ear. The suction allows for better bass delivery. No volume control, but that could also be a plus for its simplicity. The wire is flat rather than round. I prefer round as cord kinks are less likely. Comes with a carrying case that is too small.

had these for a few moths before they broke, as with my other skullcandy's the left ear stopped working and then both, but overall I'd say its good value for the price, the sound quality's amazing- FOR THE PRICE- (then again I did get these on sale). the flat cables very sleek supposedly it stops them for tangling.they tangled.but however they did make it a lot easier to untangle them out, I would recommend them, and they come with a warranty so its all good.

I just opened the clothes dryer and my Smokin-Buds fell out with some shirts. Seems they went through the washer and dryer and still sound like the day I bought them....Not to mention I'm a professional boxer who's trained with these buds in my ears for a year now, literally beating them up. You guys make a great product...THANK YOU!

Perfect budget earphones

by Andrew

Great quality and price point. It has a mic for my phone calls, and the audio quality is superb for $30. The case is a little small, it took me a while to figure out how to squeeze the actual headphones in it, but I got there, and it's an invaluable accessory. Headphones will no longer be tangled in your pocket! If you're not willing to shell out too much cash for headphones, or are just looking for something more portable than studio headphones at home, this would be a great choice.

Smokin' Buds(;

May 25th, 2012

by RiCh RuBiO

These Are Amazing. They Stay in My Ear just Fine. This Comes With 3 Sizes of Silicone Gels and Can Fit In The Right Persons Ear Canals. They Have a New Flat Cable That Reduces The Tangling but Still somewhat does. The Bass Can be Overpowering Due to your Equalization(ROCK). I Put mine To FUNK And Delivers Clear & Rich Bass. I Can Hear Everything. They Are a Bit angled so that they can fit in right. I Recommend These to Everyone and to Active Listeners. Great Style in my Opinion. Very Durable and Comfortable. Hope This Helped You! I'm Very Amazed By This Product.
