Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds (Purple)

Comment: These are the best earbuds ever. I always avoid earbuds because of bad experience with the ones from apple, but these fit very comfortably in your ears and stay in. I was mowing the lawn with these on and I couldn't here any noise from our zero turn, the music blocked it all out. These are a must have for your ipod.

Comment: I was looking for a replacement set of headphones for my ipod to use at the gym. These met my criteria. In ear and cheap, simple as that. As a matter of fact, I ordered two pairs. The sound was good quality and I liked the fact that I could block out the noise of the gym. They were comfortbale and came with adjustable plugs so you can tailor it to your needs.

My only gripe with them is that the poor quality of the cord. Both my pairs cords were damaged after a couple of weeks of use, specifically at the connection where they plug into the headphone jack on my ipod.

I suppose if they were used in a normal setting with a little more care, they'd be a perfect fit!

Comment: The product's cords conduct friction when you move around and transfers to ear. Not very good for working out and running and such.

I like the fact that they gave me different sized earbuds to fit my ear. When I put it in, it doesn't exactly fit sometimes and it falls out. When it gets really close to the ear drums, you can only hear the music and the outside world vocals seem to sound weird and you can hear your own breathing and everything.

Comment: I bought this older version of Skullcandy's Ink'd earbuds several years ago, before I knew much about audio products or how good quality audio should sound. However, from the moment I opened the package, the sound coming from these earbuds was unbearably tinny, and lacked bass of any kind. It is possible that I simply purchased a pair of earbuds that slipped through Skullcandy's quality control, but either way, I have moved on to better quality audio products.

I am happy to report however, that the latest generation of Ink'd earbuds (Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds (Blue) have much better sound quality.

Comment: I bought a pair of these and for about 3 months they worked great. Then one of the earbuds stopped working. Thinking it just was a fluke I bought another pair because the sound in this really is great. Then the same thing happened in about 2 months. They work great at first but I dont think they are worth 20 bucks since they burn out in a couple months. I guess I'm gonna have to find a new brand.
