Skullcandy's aren't a total POS but they are overpriced for the quality. They really are overrated. I don't like the buds cause I didn't realize but you have to pay an extra $30 to get the ones with volume buttoms, and it only has a pause/play button which accidentally gets pushed hanging from my ear, absolutely excruciatingly annoying. I've had friends go through a few pairs of them too (why'd I even buy them?)
Sony sells some silver/black buds for like $14.99 and they are stellar and more quality material and even sound than the Skulls, although without any buttons. Least they won't break.
Yeah pretty much this.
I'm constantly amazed at the selection at my local Marshall's for headphones. I literally threw out my set of smokin buds because they sucked horse dicks and fit like shit and bought a pair of wood-backed earbuds called I believe Timbres for like $7... And they were rediculously close to the FMJs in terms of performance, looked even better with the wood and the finish even matched my iPhone perfectly. I love them, best headphones since my old FMJs with the memory foam surround at about 1/10th the price.
Unless you're a huge audiophile, there's really no reason to spend tons and tons of dough on headphones that are just ok and try not to confuse boomin bass with sound quality. If you keep your eyes open you can probably find something good for cheap and spend the extra dough on hookers and blow.
