Despite finding its bass to be often overwhelming, I think the 50/50 is a nice headset for certain audiences. I know there are plenty of listeners out there—particularly those who listen to electronic music and hip-hop, and those who play games on their portable devices—who will love the bass, and I have no trouble recommending this model to them, especially given its price.

Priced at just under $50, Skullcandy's 50/50 earphones are a solid low-cost choice for extreme bass lovers with iPhones.

The Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds offer big bass and useful features for a reasonable price--just don't expect top-notch construction.

These 50/50s...are sort of half way between in-ear headphones and traditional earbuds, and they provide decent sound for a decent pricetag.

The Skullcandy 50/50 certainly look the part and the comfy design...Although they block out a fair bit of noise, the overall audio is a tad disappointing considering the price tag, but the splendid bass certainly helps to sweeten the pill.

...in practice these 50/50 in-ears will appeal to anyone in the market for a well-made, exciting-sounding and comfortable pair of ’phones.

It is remarkable how many things are good with these headphones. Great sound, noise isolation and very nice design. However, if these were the only criteria these would have been in the pantheon of headphones....alas. I went through 2 pairs in less than 6 months (insurance) and I must say while...

For the price, these are a pretty good choice of earphones. It might be worth it to spend the extra few dollars to buy Klipsch IMAGE S4.

I have had this pair for a year now and I love them. A wonderful alternative to the pairs that come with your phone. I also use these for my PC with an adapter so I can use my inline mic and earbuds for talking with others over ventrillo or teamspeak.

These earphones are awesome. The sound quality is amazing, and the design is cool. Unfortunately, the built-in control/microphone module doesn't work with my phone (Samsung Focus). You can wrap up the headphones in the included stiff zipper case for protection and portability.

If you're looking for an upgrade from the standard Apple Headset with in-line controls an mic, but don't want to drop too much cash to do so, this is the way to go. I bought these 50/50's from my University's bookstore for $50, and can say this might be the best headphone purchase I've ever made....

For 50 bucks they are not worth it at all. I would prefer a pair of Ink'ds over these. However, they are bassy, but flat on highs and mids. I would refer these to anyone looking for a pair of headphones with a mc that wants something simple but usable.
