Skullcandy S2FMBZ-BZ Full Metal Jacket w/ Mic Earbuds, (Black)

After reading a few of the diatribes here on amazon, I felt compelled to write something a little more technical and concise about not only this product, but, for other Skullcandy earbuds as well. First, let me start with my own diatribe about sound quality, and where these earbuds fall in the spectrum of whats available out there.

First off, i am an audiophile of sorts except for one small thing...I HATE spending money for inferior products, based on "brand recognition"!! For example, I still own a pair of 100$ ****(insert 4 letter high end makers name here;-) earbuds that I find inferior to this product- In fact, I wore them for about a week, and put them back in their storage case as a "backup" to my other 3 sets of Skullcandy earbuds/headphone I own currently. Why? For a number of reasons, which I will get into now.

People don't understand what all the tech jargon on the side of the packaging or on manufacterer's websites mean, so I'll try and make it as...Read more

Before I ordered the FMJ-Chrome, I worried that it wouldn't come with the comply foam tips and in-line microphone because other reviewers reported so. The one I ordered on 03-08-2010 came with everything I was looking for.

-Comes with 2 pairs of comply foam tips (I thought only 1 pair)

-Light weight. I don't really feel anything while having the comply foam tips in my...Read more

Bought these head phones, gently used, worked great for awhile.

But...

the wire out of the 1/8" jack started cutting out intermitently and eventually failed.

No problem since there is a lifetime warranty, right? Wrong.

Got an RMA, sent them in for repair November 23, 09. (USPS, delivery confirmed)
They have not responded to my emails and no word back. Today is May 29th 2010

Thank skullcandy.

Other people have had problems too....
