Default Skullcandy question?

I have read on here that a lot of you wear skullcandy ear buds while riding. Which model do you use? I have tried 2 different ones and at highway speed I get a loud buffeting sound.

I do not use skullcandy earbuds.
I use JVC marshmallow earphones. They fit in your ear like an earplug. You an hear the music and block out the other noises. They ear piece is made of soft foam, not the silicone on other types. The soft foam is like the stuff that cheap ear plugs are made out of.
Around town you have to be careful because you will not hear sirens.
They are less than 20 dollars at wally world.

My kids have each purchased Skull candy headphones in the last year or so. Both pairs have broken. For the price I was VERY dissapointed.

Will the JVC brand stay in your ears better than the regular type earbuds? I have a hard time getting the earbuds to stay in...

I was looking at both today at Wally world. The skullcandy seems like a better made product but I was for sure on the jvc. So they fit your ears like the cheap earplugs?

I have had several pairs of skull candy earphones, various models, and they all broke, every pair, in about 2 months. After the 40 dollar ones I got as a gift broke, I started just getting their cheap 10 dollar ones, which last also about a month. Garbage.

If you get the athletic ear phones, they loop around your ears and do stay in. You can hear out side noises also. Not big money either.

yes they do stay in better, and I have been using the same set for a couple of years, both riding and in the gym.
