Skullcandy Smokin Buds

I thought these headphones where very good quality sound and they fit nicely into your ears. If you are used to ipod headphones then it will feel a little strange having in-ear headphones at first but i got used to them very quickly and they sound and look great. i have had them for about 2 months and i started to notice some problems with hearing my music and realised that it wasnt connecting properly to my ipod so i could hear the music flickering on and off if i tweaked the headphones. This was the only problem with my headphones but because i spent £30 on them then it was a pretty big problem!! i wont be buying these headphones again but i wouldnt tell people to stay away from them as the sound quality is very good. Back to the standard ipod headphones for me (sigh)

These are really excellent little earphones for their price, usually around £15, the sound quality is very good and the bass is quite powerful. However, where this product is really let down is the lifespan. I have owned 3 pairs for only a couple of months each before the wire snapped. The cord is very thick, making a large amount of noise every time it is touched and is also quite rubbery. This means that it catches on EVERYTHING and if you are not careful will snap at any given opportunity. I really do like this headphones, but sadly will not be buying any more as they are too poorly made in my opinion, could have bought a really good pair for the £45 I've shelled out so far...

Short lifespan on the Skullcandy Smokin Buds. One of the buds stopped working after two months or so. Before that though, the sound quality was quite enjoyable, and they are fairly affordable.

The Skullcandy Smokin Buds are good value headphones, annoying hissing at low volumes, build quality appears okay.
