Criteria Comments Rating
  • Sound quality No comments great!
  • Design and form factor Large enough to cover your ear but sleek and unobtrusive. They are damn sexy. They are also foldable so they fit nicely into the pocket of a jacket or a bag. great!
  • Comfort These might be the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned. Soft leather surrounds your ear and they are very light on your head. great!
  • Noise isolation They are not noise canceling headphones. But for you can play music loud enough to drown out everything else around you. so-so
  • Durability No comments good
Detailed review
These might be the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. They are comfortable, look awesome, they fold to fit in a bag or pocket, and (most importantly to me) they have an inline remote and mic that plays very well with the iPhone.

Skullcandy went above and beyond with these using soft leather and suede for the trimming around the ears and above your head. They also included a leather carrying case for them. A step above indeed.

The only thing that I don't like about these headphones is how small the support near the plug is. It's very flimsy and I can feel it folding in my pocket. That is going to lead to wear and loss of sound as the wires bend and break. I've supported it with gaff tape for now. I hope it holds. It is a minor thing that will only affect you if you us them with a device that is constantly going in and out of your pocket.
