I purchased the Skullcandy Smokin Buds (after reading raving reviews on here) tonight after getting a "hand me down ipod" (wife upgraded to the itouch for mothers day) and I must say I am impressed. The buds haven't left my ears since we got home....great sound, great noise blocking, great fit, and inline volume control to boot....can't say enough about them. The Koss brand I used prior left my ears a hurting mess but these fit perfect. The sound is like it is in your head and not coming through your ears...unreal quality for $30.

Give credit where credit is due.....

 

ill second that I rode with a pair on a 3 hour trip and never once had trouble hearing the music, best headphones i have used so far

 

I read that they were good too. Been to a few places around here to get some, and they were out of stock.

 

drive down to your local best buy.............they will have em in stock (unless folks from this forum have raided there stash)

 

good to know... these have the standard head phone jack... like 3.5 mm or something... i need a pair with a 2.5mm jack for my lg voyager, prolly just have to use an adapter.

 

Yep I have a pair of them and they are great. They are also very inexpensive at around $19.99.

 

If you're gettin 'em for $20, get a couple (WHERE?). Most places charge 30-35. I've gone through a few pairs over the years ( I wear out the part where the wire comes outta the plug ) Still some of the best I have ever had, and I will buy again, but next I'm gonna try some noise-cancelling ones I think.

I've had mine for almost 2 years i believe and the only thing that has wore out are the little rubber things that go in your ear.

 

I took it 1 step further and had the ear molds made so that I have a solid fit in my ears. Had them made so my Smokin Buds fit in them, what a great improvement, cuts down on wind even more and they never feel loose in my ears anymore. Both were great investments. The sound is even better with the better seal/fit.

 

Pig...those are the Inkd ones, the Smokin Buds are the same earpiece but have an inline volume control and are $30-$35 at most places. I really like having that seperate volume control....noticed last night that I could reach down and mute the volume quickly if I needed to.
