    Default Ifrogz/Skullcandy headphones?

    I was searching around for new affordable headphones recently and I came across these. Ifrogz & Skullcandy

    Great on style, I was just wondering if anyone out there have a pair or can comment on sound quality. They look dope, and I dont honestly see the point of spending over 100 bucks for headphones.

    those mode/stylish cans are great for "outdoor" ie stick it in your ipod and rock your busride, but for DJing you will find them kinda enough and after a year of heavy usage you will go and buy proper DJ cans anyway, so save your money and look into some respected DJ products.

    cant comment the sound quality, but for normal listening they are okay (a friend's reference).

    If the sound is up to par i'd buy them. I own a pair of AKG-99 headphones. They have amazing sound. Heres a link:

    Superb sound quality but seems more like a producer headphone. So im looking for another gread headphone in the cheap range more DJ suited. any ideas?

    Cheap shit is cheap shit. In my opinion and experience, for DJing, Skullcandy's blow. I'm of the mindset that anyone who says they are good for DJing has never DJ'd on anything better. You might not think there is a justification for spending more than $100, but I bought a whole bunch of headphones for under that and they all sucked. I got my HD25-II's and have had them longer than any other pair. They've already paid for themselves twice, have taken a beating and keep on going.

    Skull Candy Headphones are shit. Sound shit, and last 2 minutes.
    I know a guy who bought some. I dont like the guy so i found it funny that they stopped working on the first gig he used them.

    The cable. is very very weak.

    At my Friday gig (which ive done for longer than i can remember) we have a Headphone Graveyard. All the busted headphones get thrown on top of the amp room. There has to be 50 pairs of shit headphones up there.

    I finally moved away from the cheapo Sony ones i used for years. And got some HD25-II's... best headphones i ever used.

    HD25-II's FTW.

    I found these bad boys...I really like the sound of my other AKG's so I thought these would be decent? What you guys think

    Most likely those AKG's will break. They have two pressure points. The swivel at the end of the bases, and the swivel for the ear cups.

    I had a pair of Pioneer headphones, can't remember the brand. I'm a rather active DJ, headbanging, getting into it, dancing, things get abused in that process. WEll, those $100 headphones lasted 6 months before one of the cups broke. Then another 2 months before the other one did. Then I used zip ties to put them together. THEN the actual swivel balls broke. Couldn't fix that.

    So yeah, once again, buy cheap get cheap.

    They'll work, but also keep in mind they say they are for small clubs and house parties. To me that says they have shit sound isolation, which = shit mixing.

    maybe if you`re looking for a cheapo pair with acceptable sound you might want to check out the Sennheiser HD 205 which are just loud enough for the occasional gig. I compared them with the AKGs 81 you mentioned and preferred them.far better sound quality but less bass though. I also found them to be more comfortable on my fat head

    I also used to have a pair of old studio AKGs but the 81 dj didn't sound anything like them at all

    Those skullcandy's are the exact same as the american audio hp700's. Which are also the same as the fake Pioneer HDJ 1000s I just bought on ebay. I ended up getting them for free and they aren't bad headphones for the 50 dollars I originally paid for them. I wouldn't pay the $150 like those skullcandies
