Skullcandy Chops Hanger Earbuds HH26-SKC01 (Black and Chrome)

 (77 customer reviews)

I inherited a Sansa View (from my son, who moved on to an ever more expensive ipod) and he lost the earbuds. Being old, I went and bought what I thought were high quality expensive earbuds ($40! These must be great!).

However, time had clearly past me by. For months I blamed my Sansa View for poor bass and low volume. Then I did some research and found that these buds are the worst of the best -- better than a $9 pair, but not sufficient.

I started to suspect something when I connected the earbuds from my old Sansa m-240 to the View and it got louder and bassier (not necessarily crisper) sound from the View.

I finally broke down and bough some V-Moda Vibes. The sound was instantly useable. I am ashamed that I ever even stuggled though listening to so much music with the SKullcandies.

I guess if you're a boarder or cool kid, who wants a skull on his earbuds, then you would buy these.

But if you like music. Don't.

I bought these head phones so that I could listen to music while I worked out at the gym. The only thing that they do right is not fall off my head while I am on the treadmill. The audio quality is poor. The ear buds are not loud enough. The ear buds are falling apart after two months (pieces are literally falling off of these ear buds).

I hardly ever write reviews for things I purchase, but these earbuds disappointed me that much...

Bought these hoping to replace some old Sony earbuds (8+ years old) that have pretty good sound quality and are still running strong, but have a tendency to fall out my ears. I already own Skullcrushers (which I love), so I decided to give this Skullcandy product a shot...mistake.

The sound quality of these Chops makes them feel cheap. The only good points I can find about these things are the comfort and the hangers that go around your ears. Waste of $20.

Oh well, I guess I can use the rubber earbud covers on my Sony buds.
