    Indeed. Trendy looks but audio quality is too focused on bass IMO.

    Thanks for trying Cin' :D.

    I'm still waiting on that awesome 2.5" external HD with Esata and USB 2.0.

    You're beginning to disappoint me lol.

    Too late for me I just bought the inked buds for an overpriced $22 at best buy. Even they were charging more then should have im really happy with the quality. Its my first pair of headphones that actually go in the ear canal, it was a little weird at first, but I can never go back. They reduce outside noise by 50% and they sound great.

    I own a pair of Smokin' Buds. They sound pretty good. Paid $15 for 'em and quite happy with the sound quality.

    do yourself a favour, stay away from these.
    go to head-fi, and you'll see why, it's easily the most hated brand.

    good prices though!

    You mean where all the elitist pricks hang out? Thanks, but no thanks. Head-Fi is nothing more but a cesspool of over-inflated, ego-maniacal asshats.

    If you really want unbiased opinions, try HeadRoom instead.

    Well I think its fair to say that your post had little relevance to the thread and was somewhat of an emotional outburst that would've been better kept to one's self or through pm. :p.

    That said, there's a large difference between studio(more professional) and general headphones. I've a pair of Sony MDR-V6 and Senn HD201. There's a huge difference in audio quality.

    I wanted to buy some Skullcandy Blue/white Hesh headphones because they just look awesome. :p

    Actually... no. It's well known in certain circles what kind of environment Head-Fi perpetuates, and it's folly to suggest that someone go there for information when it's flooded with, how did I put it, ego-maniacal asshats.

    I think its fair to say that this has little relevance to the thread and was somewhat of an emotional outburst that would've been better kept to one's self or through a PM (touche). People know what they're getting into when buying a low priced pair of buds or cans. This thread was simply meant to give people looking to buy an affordable pair of 'phones a cheap way to do it.

    Lol on the contrary all of my most comfortable headphones that had good quality were my cheapest. I bought a $55 pair a while back and absolutely hated them even though they were highly recommended. I bought my skullcandy's for $20 at like an FYI or something and they have lasted me about half a year. On top of they I find them extremely comfortable and great quality. Meh, might just be me though.
