SkullCandy Asym

 

Rick Alden, CEO and founder of Skullcandy was named one of vSpring Capital's "Top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs" of 2008, and holds a patent for technology that integrates mobile phones and music players, LINK technology.

Cool style / Color choices ; Great tonal range ; Good Price range ; Can where under a helmet ; Great warranty

Can't "feel" the bass ; Do not include Comply foam tips (can use them though) ; Over the ear cord takes some getting used to

Skullcandy Asym Earphones

 

No one likes boring looking headphones – or, at least, that's the motto for the folks designing headphones at Skullcandy. The company offers a wide range of in-ear headphones, headsets and over-the-ear headphones for style aficionados who scoff at the...

Lots of color choices, flashy design, snug fit for exercising, bargain priced

Unimpressive sound quality

However, the less than stellar sound quality is hard to overlook. I tried a number of different EQ settings with my MP3 player, but was never able to find a setting that made the Asym earphones sound very good when compared to other competing models. ...

Nice set

 

Came with a stencil of their logo, and the directions show spray painting the logo on a snowboard, the back of a bald guy's head, and a cat. That made me smirk.

The noise cancellation on this set is nice. The big backing covers your ear canal really well. The cord raps around your ear so that they can't come out on accident if you're jogging or something. The bass is crazy good on these too. The angle that...

None. Except maybe that sometimes you can hear the cord rubbing against your shirt if you're jogging, but that's just physics, cant really help that

cool case and extra earbud sizes

Awesome head phones, great sound quality and price. I work in very loud enviorment and these cancel 95% of the surrounding noise

Great sound

 

I'm so impressed with the sound, I plan on trying more of this brands buds for sure.

Great sound. The way the project into the ear seems to help make for amazing performance. My pair came with three different sized silicon ear pieces

Cable doesn't stay behind the ear well, I'm always fussing with it. The buds do seem to slip out occasionally, made of very slippery stuff

Good, but weird fitting

 

I have done, with some success a way of wearing them with the cord wrapped around the back side of my ear and that works mildly well.

Very Good sound for price. Decent bass, better than expected. They have taken a decent beating from me so far and have not lessened in quality

Very, very odd fitting. If you are going to be wearing these headphones a lot you might want to avoid these, the way they fit in your ear just doesn't seem quite right

Warranty rocks

 

I don't own this model yet but I do own several pair of Skullcandy headphones (Ink'd, Smokin Buds, Low riders and Sk Pro) and I felt the need to inform buyers of the warranty offered by Skullcandy after reading the last review. Skullcandy has a...

Good sound, low price

Very satisfied

 

If you want something that doesn't get away from your head in almost any situation, these are a good idea.

Stays in my ear when I'm running around... or at the very least, it doesn't fall off my ear if it slips out when I'm moving a lot because the wire catches it around my ear ; I'm no audio expert, but I'm not deaf. These sound great, far better than...

At the price point, I can't complain about anything that wouldn't be petty

great sound

 

I can also wear them for hours without discomfort. I was initially concerned that the cable going over the top of my ear would be an irritation, but I hardly notice it unless I catch the cord on something.

The sound out of these buds is quite good especially for the price ; The plastic coating on the cord (helped by the way they wrap over the ear) do not allow vibrations to transmit to the earbuds when the cable is touched the way some other buds do

I would say that the earbuds are a touch on the small side. Anyone with small ears should stay away from this item
