Though I'm not one to fondle Skullcandy's balls, I have to say the 2 weeks I had Full Metal jackets before the wire frayed on them were good, they fit well, had great bass, and were loud as fuck, for 50 dollars it was a good deal. I got Burton Ear Nuggets now, which are basically the same think as FMJ's, and theyre awesome, stay in my ear perfectly and reduce noise quite well.

I got the sony ear buds...Umm, I'm not sure on the model, but I paid 50$ or so for them.

I wouldn't recommend these ones. They're great for "light rock" or bands like John Mayer, but can't duplicate the "big" bass of rap or techno.

I've also owned the 100$ Sony earbuds which were much better, you could distinguish bass from treble with them.


Ionno though, nothing seems to have much bass after hearing the 4000 Watts of BOOM in my car..

If you want good buds you're gonna have to dish out some serious cash money

I have full metal jacket buds from skull candy, an they're dope sauce but cost $75 (?) an I had bose ones that were sick but they cost $135...

i have skullcandy smokin buds and i like them a lot, they have bomb sound quality compared to the apple ones. the only problem is they might not stay in ur ears very well

smokin' buds have not let me down. i dont know if this is true for all ear buds but when they are in your ears you can barely hear any outside noise. its a good thing while skiing but i can never tell when someone is talking to me.
