" ... Better sound quality then a lot of headphones that cost a lot more! ... "
" ... If you don’t mind that they seem to work just fine and had fine sound quality ... "
" ... great sound gave it to my exgirlfriend ... "
" ... I used to buy Skull Candy headphones all the time, and was blown away by how great music sounded through them. ... "
" ... I use Skullcandy Hesh 2's for all my audio needs, from watching movies, listening to music while traveling, even using them to mix and monitor my own mixes. ... They have a flat frequency range in my opinion, just like the AT40x, which translates to a very natural tone and timbre, so you hear "True" audio play backs as tuned by the artist or author of the media you are listening to. ... "
" ... They sound great (Skullcandy great) ... "
" ... THE BEST sound quality. ... Compared side by side with Bose QC 25 by plugging into same source. ... "

" ... They go over her ears and she loves the feel of the headphones. ... Super soft and cushiony. ... "
" ... Soft and comfortable . ... "
" ... They are comfortable even after hours of wear, sound great, look good, and I ended up liking them much better than the much more expensive brands I tried. ... "
" ... I finally got my own pair, they are comfortable (and actually fit my small head without sliding off!) ... "
" ... The earcups go over my ear and honestly feel like a pillow! ... "
" ... They are comfy, sound is good, and they adjust to fit both my preteen boys and me very well. ... "
" ... Awesome sound for a fraction of the cost of other Over the ear headphones. ... "
" ... They fit comfortably around my ear. ... I don't feel that I have big ears, but I usually have issues finding headphones that are actually over my ear that aren't going to sit uncomfortably on my ear/earring/glasses. ... "

" ... great product, recommended, great value for the price . ... "
" ... I believe that this is the best pair of headphones for a lower price than other higher quality brands. ... This is the best value at it's price. ... "
" ... I think this quality is equivalent to higher end headphones at a much better price. ... "
" ... Awesome headphones for the price range . ... "

" ... she has had no issues with these other than replacing the cord every so often with excessive use. ... "
" ... I had actually been emailing Skull Candy, directly, learning about their new wireless headphones and their detachable wire headphones. ... I love the detachable cord. ... AND, the great thing is, if the cord is ever the cause of problems, (like on all of my other headphones between Skull Candy purchases), you don't have to buy a whole new headset, you just get a new cord for just a few bucks. ... "
" ... These are an excellent choice for kids, because they are sturdy and the detachable cord is a lifesaver! ... the sound quality is good and I don't have to worry about the cord breaking if my 5yr old gets hold of them. ... "
" ... The auxiliary cable lasts forerver, I have used them for almost 2 years now and I have not needed to change it and the sound of the headphones is still perfect. ... "
" ... I love that the cord is detachable. ... "
" ... My boys are gentle on their things, but these will be transported daily so it's good to know a short in the cord from putting it in their bags won't be the end of the headphones. ... "
" ... Headphones work great, but the cable that comes with it and gives a bunch of feedback so if you want all of the sound you have to mess with how it is connected for it for work correctly. ... I switched it out for a aux cable and then it works perfectly. ... The cable is supposed to allow you to play, pause, skip, and go back depending on how many clicks you apply. ... Overall, great headphones for the price, just trash the chord. ... "
" ... They seem to handle our great with a seven year old dropping them and tugging on the cord constantly. ... "

" ... This took the "shiny" coating off. ... "
" ... The plastic coating is peeling off 😢 ... "
" ... Cushion ear pieces already falling apart after less than 3 months. ... Irate to pay that much for headphones and they're already falling apart. ... "
" ... i had them now for about 4 months and the speakers inside keep coming loose. ... I opened up the headphones to put the speakers back into place, but they just came loose again about a day after that. ... "
" ... As near as I can tell, these are cheap knockoffs of the original design. ... VERY poor quality cheap copies, sold cheaply. ... "
" ... The one thing that is lacking is the cushioning on the top. ... "
" ... So these have been used for only 4 months and are falling apart. ... "

" ... They fit good and the sound was decent quality for the price. ... "
" ... We have had them over a year and they still look, sound and fit great! ... "
" ... These headphones also come with a small bag to hold them. ... While they hold on tight enough to give a decent acoustic seal around the edges, it's not tight enough, at least on my largish head, to hold very well when I lean over or if I shake my head too much. ... I give these Skullcandy headphones 4 stars because I just have to take off a star for the loose fit. ... "
" ... Fits pretty tight when I rest it on my neck. ... "
" ... The fit is fine. ... "
" ... They work great with my iPhone. ... "
