After having these headphones for only a few months, one of the speakers stopped working. It didn't suffer any damage, and I took care of them, but inexplicably it just stopped working. I checked the the Skullcandy website to see what their warranty process was and I was surprised. They are pretty generous with their warranties - you don't need packaging, receipts, order numbers, date of purchase, or anything else. You only need the broken headphones. And if your headphones suffered physical...

The NC pickup mic is only one one side, which can play a bit of havoc with the NC circuit if outside sound is coming from just one side, but for $20? I'm happy.
Sure Skullcandy offers an amazing replacement policy and includes a lifetime warranty. It is only after the third time of going through the process that you realize its not worth the digital pixels that was used to display it. The mere act of stressing the cheaply "Made in China" plastic headphones to put it on will make it crack after a month or two of casual use. If you want head phones that sound great and will last more then a few months, buy something else. If you are more worries...

So first of all let me tell you how stupid I am. I searched google for "best xbox headset" and found someone who said this headset was the best headset for the money. They forgot to mention that it has dual 3.5mm plugs on it, one for mic one for headphones. Its a pc headset. I guess that should have been common sense and i dropped the ball by getting an unrelated search hit from google. I purchased an adapter that converts two 3.5mm jacks to a single 2.5mm jack (what the xbox...

I just picked these up as a last minute pair when I lost my other ones. For $19.00 at the Mac Store, these are the best sounding buds I've owned for the price. Nice work SkullCandy. Anyone else appreciate these two?
I thought the same thing at first. However, if you look closely where the cable meets the bud, right under the skull logo, there's a tiny 'R' and 'L'. Pretty hard to see on the black ones...but it's there. Should solve your issue.
No I'm not going to go "ole yeller" on him and take him out back. I'm looking for a new pair of headphones. I've had quite a few sets at this point and my luck has been terrible. They will be going everywhere my laptop goes, and sometimes be used with my iPhone. This being said I have my mind pretty much made up that they need to be the "in ear" style. I don't really have a price range, but the more expensive they are the tougher they would need to be. Sound...
In all honesty, I go through headphones like toilet paper. One side would stop working after 1 month unless I found the right combination of positions for the wire to be in. Some local store had these on sale for $15, so I figured I'd give it a try. The sounds is awesome and they are very durable. I may or may not have accidentally put them through the wash. The only thing that happened was that they came out clean and spotless. Even my AV teacher was impressed with the quality after he used...

I have had now two separate pairs of FMJ's and both broke relatively quickly, within a couple of months. now im thinking of buying either GI's or getting a pair of Shure's. Do these really break that easily or am i just bad with headphones?
Worst pair I've ever owned. I was excited to get these, but only found out that they look better than they sound. My $20 Sony phones sound 10 times better than these hollow crappers. If there was an easy way to tear the drivers out of the Sonys and stick 'em in the G.I.s, I would. Just don't want to get stuck with two pairs of useless headphones.
I don't know much about headphones, but I'm looking to upgrade. So far I've only used skullcandy headphones, which I hear have terrible sound quality, though they sound ok to me. So I'm looking for something a little bit better with better durability. My budget is $100-150.
I'll be using these for gaming and music. I don't really care if they're portable or not.
So my Astro Gaming A*Stars stopped working (one ear) and now I need something else to use, so I need some suggestions on what I should look for. Thanks
So I've liked this headset for a while but I've been getting really annoyed that I keep having to replace them because connection from the chord to the jack itself seem to always break; pretty much only one side of the earphone working and the other dead. It's nice that I can always return and exchange it but must I do it 6 times? Tomorrow will be my 7th since I have to grab my receipt again to trade it in. I'm debating if I should do it and just sell it on ebay. I'm not...

I was really exited to get these but the second i plugged them into my phone i realized they where crap!!! The sound is all muffled and they have an aversion to base!!! i had to turn the base right up on my phone to get a decent beat!!! and it still sounds like i have cotton wool in my ears!!! Does anyone else have the same problem??
