Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Most of us who use these types of headphones don't pay attention to how far we stretch the band when placing it over our head. It's really quite a lot of stress and stretch. If you pay attention then you won't have a problem.
You don't have to baby these headphones. The only weak point is the middle of the headband, which is connected by a metal screw bar.
If you pay attention to how you put them on (ie: adjust the side lengths and then slide them over your head); you'll be fine. Sound quality is good all around. Better than the earbuds you get w/ your Ipod.
Take care of this, don't wrap your cords too taunt, or fast and vigorously; this pulls the cords loose.
These are marketed as Sports Headphones on SkullCandy's website. I would say they're good for walking and maybe running. They're snug but not snug enough to stay on when bouncing, jumping, boarding etc. The best upside is that you get no "tapping" noise when touching or bumping the wires.
Pros:
- good sound
- comfortable
- Adjustable
- folds up and stores easily
- good for walking
- No wire noise
Cons:
- Not really Sports Headphones
- No Noise Reduction! (a tiny bit BETTER than regular Ipod earbuds)
only an issue when in a car or airplane
NOT an issue while walking or on the train
(tested only on BART in CA Bay Area)
- NOT for high bass listeners or hardcore music, heavy metal, Rap etc.
- A little awkward to wrap wires around the folded headphones when storing
- THE BIG ONE: head band is weaker than most NON-Foldable headphones; but still durable, provided care (what did you expect for foldys?)
bottom line: its delicate BUT NOT FRAGILE!
PS I bought the green/black from OneCall for $35. I would still trust all sellers of SkullCandy Lowriders
PSS
OH YEAH and wear these backwards ie(Right cup on Left ear). That way you can swivel the cup into your ear (much better isolation of sound). IDK why they overlooked this.
