Skullcandy is a fashion brand. People say the say good because they look cool and they can't tell the difference between loud horrible bass and good sound quality.

They're okay. Not the best sound quality, but durable.

its true people just buy them because theyre skull candy but sound qualitys pretty good, at least for skiing and theyre mad light and not bulky. the one thing i dont like is that they dont have a volume control or mute button and there isnt too much bass to them. cand beat 25 bucks though

Word.

SkullCandy is only good for the warantee.

Bose headphones/earbuds also suck pretty much but the earbuds are decent.  Companies such as AGK, Sennheiser, and Grado, have very good sound quality for good prices. 

I love my AKG 81 DJ's such sick headphones, don't use them for skiing though....got tuneups 2 for that.

most people dont buy skullcandy for the sound quality, they buy them for the warantee. They replace broken headphones no questions asked

oh dude i absolutely love my bose earbuds. absolutely the greatest earbud in production. So comfy, so well tuned. Only prob is I lost my mid-sized ear-pieces. So i'm stuck with the smalls and they fall out of my ear sometimes. Any idea where I can get a new set?

what's the best for in ear headphones?  I know the bose ones are sick but I don't want to drop $90 on them.  Are there any cheap but good in-ear headphones?
