Are skullcandy headphones good for listening to metal.

[Rommyali]

Basically, what I am trying to say is are they good in general and have you ever bought one and thought they were good and worth the price.
My headphones really suck balls (I took them from a YMCA) and they irritate me cause the quality sucks ass.

So before i waste 50-60$ for a pair of headphones i need to know if there good.

THANKS

I own a pair of the in-ear Skullcandy headphones (they're the only kind I can use because I'm missing cartilage in my ear). Tolerable quality I guess, but as the bloke above me suggested it has a lot of issues with the bass.

Well they make you look like a faggot. and for the money you can get some nice studio headphones or something...unless you want the in ear ones

I've always stuck with the pair that came with my iPod. Never had any problems. I hear Skullcandys break all the time.

Well they make you look like a faggot.

How so?

I'm not sure yet.

No they are not. For a good and not too expensive portable closed back I highly recommend these:

If portability is not a requirement I recommend these:

For a dirt cheap option that's better than most ~$50 headphones I recommend these:

Scytheavatar is right, and i have one to show also.

50$ and they play like earphones as expensive as maybe 60-80 bucks.
But the bass is very high on some songs, and the bass is also low on some songs, it depends much on the song.

Wait, Skullcandies are good for something?

I really didn't think that, it's money out the window.

But it could be cool to be called melonhead while listening to music.

 

[Doomguy]

It's because of the gay colors they use.

Now obviously skullcandy uses their time making it look like you're wearing fruit on your head, while Bose uses their time to make amazing headphones with great sound quality.

The pair of skullcandy I own are small black ones like this. I too hate the faggotry of the large pairs.
