Summary: Great with a little time 2008-08-16
Comment: At first, as others indicated, the FMJ's sounded a bit muddy. But after a burn in time of approximately 45 hours they sound great. Same thing for a cheaper pair of Skullcandy's I own. It took a while so give it time.
After going through several iphone headphone/headset combo's these are quite stunning for the price. But please..... have patience and the sound will eventually be brilliant

Summary: Awesome! 2008-08-08
Comment: I bought the v-moda duo's and although the sound was great, Iwas disappointed in the execution of their product. They were heavy (so the cord swung out because of the heavy metal inline button) and the button kept getting caught on my collar and they constantly tangled (badly) and had a stethoscope sound when the cord or the button rubbed up against your shirt as you walked.
These are SO much better. The bass response is awesome and they are louder then the V-Moda's. The sound at the highest level is pristine clear with no distortion, even with bass heavy music. The cord is the perfect length, just long enough to fit in you pant pocket. The button to pause/fast forward/take a call is much easier to find then the V-Moda's although the stock Apple headset is the best in that department. They look cool, and the anti-tangle coating (which is absent from the V-Moda) is very effective. They work perfectly with my iPhone 3G. All this and $30 less then the V-Moda's - I think it's a no brainer.
My only negative comments is that they didn't include a large silicone ear pieces like the V-Moda's and they should have included a cord extender since it's literally the exact size to go from head to pocket (in case you need the extra length when throwing in a bag etc).
These rock. I highly suggest them.

Summary: better than most 2008-08-05
Comment: Pros - sturdy, good lenght wire (not too long), good functionality, microphone in right place
Cons - sound quality mediocre- improves slightly when equaliser settings are adapted, weird brandname & logo- 3 small skulls on each earpiece

Summary: Too bad I have to send it back!!! 2008-07-24
Comment: These headphones does have A LOT of bass. A little overpowering on certain songs, so I keep the the EQ on my Iphone on Flat. The mic is great and the design is awesome.
However, when I got my headset the right side seems a little lower than my left. So I tapped it a little and it came back on. I have to do that every once in a while. Also, the little skull emblem on the back of the right side came off too. All this happened all in one week. So I decided to return it to amazon. But after doing research on alternatives such as the the v moda duo and the maximo's I think im still going to go with the SKullcandy. It seems to me both brands have the quality issue. Even the more expensive and very nice looking v modas. Ive seen just as many bad reviews as good. SO I think the quality may be hit of miss. If my next set of skullcandys have problems I may take a chance on the maximo's.

Summary: Pretty crap is still crap 2008-07-09
Comment: These are good looking, metal ear buds from Skull Candy, a company that's fairly well known for it's ear buds and head phones. They're not the most expensive things on the market but they cost well over what your average set of ear buds goes for.
The sound reproduction is nice once you adjust the EQ on the iPhone. These ear buds are ridiculously heavy on the base side of things. Apparently Skull Candy has never heard of mid tones in music. I found either the Spoken Word or the Flat setting to be pretty good. But for $[...] when a set of ear buds can be purchased for $[...] I expect MORE than pretty good. Pretty good is a $[...] set of ear buds.
They feel nice. They fit my ears well although unlike the regular FMJ, the iPhone version doesn't come with different sized ear pieces. They come with one silicon set and two foam sets. The regular FMJ comes with 3 of each and they're all different sizes to make sure you get a good fit. Not a big deal but if I'm paying more for the iPhone FMJ I'd expect to get the same thing as the FMJ but with a mic.
The mic works well and unlike the original iPhone mic, this one doesn't tend to get caught on your collar. It's round and well designed. The button is firm and you certainly can tell when you've pressed it.
Fit and finish is miserable. The first set I got wasn't even the right set. You see, Skull Candy's design and model numbers are so similar that even the factory sometimes puts the wrong model in the box. I got regular FMJs, not the iPhone FMJ ear buds. The second set I got just didn't work. The THIRD set I got works but the jack isn't straight.
Yeah, that's right, after three tries I finally gave up and settled on a set of headphones with a crocked jack. It's not a big deal but you know those $[...] ear buds I mentioned earlier? I'd be willing they've got jacks that are straight and fit better into the port on your media player of choice.
After 4 weeks my $[...] ear buds are falling apart. I'm not overly hard on them, when I'm not using them I set them on a table or counter. I don't twist the cable and I use them mostly when I'm on the bus or at work. I don't throw them, expose them to water, microwave them, run them over, step on them or even dip them in the toilet. They go in my ear or on a nice flat surface. And yet they're falling apart.
They came with a warranty! That's good news. Of course Skull Candy hasn't replied to a single message I've left, nor do they appear to honor their warranty.
So really, what we have here is an $[...] set of ear buds that works about as well as a $[...] set. They're comfy enough, and work well enough, just be prepared to have to baby the hell out of them if you plan on using them for any length of time. I wish I could recommend a different brand as an alternative to this junk but so far these are all I've tried.
