Headphones For Me and You

[tekki]

Don't touch SkullCandy indeed.

I tend to have a bit of love & hate relationship with the Sony's. Sometimes I adore 'em, sometimes I hate 'em.

I can't wait to get my mittens on the Sony HDJ500. Hoping these will be the headphones for me.

iFrogz? Never heard of em but cheap, 50mm drivers, ugly as sin. Could be epic.

I can only vouch for the Sony's. The rest are a gamble, but i'm sure they can't be too bad.

I used these crappy $15 Numarks (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Numark-H...08-i1126204.gc ) for a few years and they blew the doors off those skullcandys. All the cables are junk in those things. Using both the Sonys and the Pioneer DJ-5000s right now and am quite happy with either of them at under $100.

Ok, I gotta say this...even though I'm liable to get somewhat flamed for it: SKULLCANDY ISN'T ALL BAD.
Lower end skullcandy's are pretty crappy and I wouldn't touch the TI's cause the construction on them isn't too great.
That said, I have a pair of SK Pro's.... have had them for almost a year now and no problems yet. Really solid construction on them, great headband (same as the ones you see on DJ1 Pro's or O2's), and they sound miles better than ANY other Skullcandy headphones I have ever listened to.
My only problems with them is the lack of removable cable and the fact that they are open rather than closed, so they bleed a fair bit of sound (thought at higher volumes you can't hear whats going on outside of em)...
Possible gripe for some people is that they are relatively bass heavy, which I actually like about them.
Mind you these things cost me roughly 200$ canadian (with shipping, VAT, import fees)... and given skullcandy's warranty policy? I think I've gotten my money's worth so far. Plus they're damn stylish.

Never tried them but alot of my friends tell me they didn't last very long, my cousin had a pair and he said he broke them the first day... waste of 80 some dollars..

I have a pair of in ear Skullcandies that are great, but I use them only to listen to my iPod.

Not to DJ or Produce with

I personally LOVE skullcandy headphones!
