For the price these are excellent headphones and a worthy candidate for “daily driver.” For me, these are computer/desk headphones. That is my use and that is probably how you should plan on using them as well. The cushions are very soft but the fit itself is on the firm side. Because the cushions are soft, they are nice and comfortable. Because the cushions are soft I’d be hesitant about getting too much sweat in them at the gym. They won’t fall off– that’s not the issue– but I’m guessing you don’t want to get the cushions wet. Are they durable? They sit at my desk. I thought about stuffing them in a “getting too full” backpack for a flight recently and I declined to do so. If you are really going to be putting them into very full bags maybe see if you can handle a pair in the store before making a decision. On the desk? As long as you aren’t yanking these things off you should be fine.Sound review? This is hard because there is so much that goes into it. I’ll give it a shot. I can’t talk about leakage because I’m not usually around people when these are on. There is no noise cancelling but the fit and the pads do an okay job of getting rid of a lot of background noise. These replaced some Koss Porta-Pros and some old Sol headphones as my main laptop headphones. (That’s where I do most of my work.) So yes, I’m running off a laptop. No fancy power sources. They can get nice and loud and not bring in any distortion. That’s good. I guess these are probably “somewhat warm” sounding headphones. I listen to some vaporwave and a lot of metal (black/thrash and such) so I think I cover the need to hear all levels and ranges of sound and don’t have a need to focus on one aspect over the other but I guess the elephant in the room is always bass? It handles bass pretty well. It isn’t an overly aggressive bass sound but you can hear it nicely and distinctly. There is some punch to the bass but, to be sure, it isn’t at the level of beats headphones (and I like beats, but they are also a lot more money). Listening to some of the raw metal recordings, the bass is nice and it handles the distortion and rawness of metal tracks very well. So, the bass is good to the extent that the headphones generally maintain a consistent and clear sound-profile. And there is clearly more bass than more clear or neutral sounding headphones. It isn’t necessarily a bass heavy headphone but it is definitely bass capable. I can make the volume louder or softer without introducing any more distortion and I don’t have to listen to it loudly to “hear” the music.These are very good headphones for the price. The four stars is because the headphone market is brutal and these are four star headphones, especially for the price. They are not magic value headphones that you would/could pay +$150 for, or something like that. That is, in my mind, going in to five star territory. For the price you will probably pay for these on this site, you are getting a really great pair of daily drivers and they are easy to recommend. I’m considering getting the (a) blue-tooth version of these.

I love everything about these headphones, especially the color but mostly the sound. I listen to a lot of dubstep and other heavy bass music and these are not only comfy for long periods but sound great, 9 out of 10. 9 because they feel sort of flimsy and could break if I’m careless. I have Bluetooth earbuds that sound great too, but I don’t like using them all the time like I do these.

Excellent sound from the drivers, soft comfortable fit on the muffs, and offers halfway decent sound reduction from outside the phones. The battery life was impressive!

as per usual, skullcandy never disappoints. i’ve sworn by the jib series of earbuds for years and these headphones are just as high-quality as the in-ears. much like the jib headphones, they’re nice with the high-end but a little on the heavier side with low end. that’s not at all a minus for me. reminds me of the “mega bass” sony had for a while. the low end is not offensive at all but rather pleasant and fairly transparent.the cherry-on-top with these phones is the power they can handle. again, much like the jib earbuds, these phones can handle pretty much as much juice as your device is able to throw at it with no distortion. a phone won’t crank too much but i also tested them with a headphone amplifier and they blast!these headphones don’t have any noise-cancelling system but i generally avoid that anyway. they’re also not very quiet externally so if you’re blasting music, everyone around you will hear it, too. that may be a con for some but i only use these at home so no biggie.the only drawback for me is that they’re a little smaller than i expected (hand in the pic for scale reference), but that’s not at all a design flaw and not anything to bring it down from five stars.these headphones are great not just for the price but ESPECIALLY for the price. they perform every bit as well as anything you’d find in the $50-$100 range. if you’re looking for something for studio use, these are not for you as they’re made to sound good, not flat. but if you want to rattle your brain with clear, defined boomy sound, these are the ones!

Listen to me, I don’t care what anybody says, these headphones have to be broken in. When you first get them they will sound muted, even muffled and your 3-4 year old riffs will sound better and have more volume. But they have to be loosened up. After 2-3 weeks they will be the best sounding $20 headphones on the market, sounding better and crisper than many much higher priced headphones. Just have a little patience.

Producto de buena calidad, se siente algo liviano (es mejor ser cuidadoso), pero en general tiene una buena construcción, muy buenos detalles. En cuanto a la calidad buen sonido, buen micrófono y son bastante cómodos

Purchased these for our 5th grader. This is her 2nd pair of this model over the last 5 years. They seem a bit small for an adult. But she loves them and even though they are bluetooth compatible, she was excited they came with a cord for jack input as well as her school only allows wired headphones for testing and other class work.

These are my second pair and I love them. I wear them up listen to music or audiobooks while walking and had my previous pair got several years. I’m only replacing them because I accidentally snapped them in half but, I swear, they still worked even after that, I just taped them together to use until I could get a replacement pair.Great sound quality and stellar battery life. Highly recommend.
