Some teachers enforce against using the oxford comma, and it just goes to show that sometimes its not best to be just "one of the sheep" following that know-it-all teacher.

So, hey, the target market for these (you know, kids that don't have hundreds to spend on a pair of cans) probably like the designs. I have a pair of skullcandy's that I got on sale for 10 bucks, and they definitely sound better than stock buds. But wait, that wasn't pretentious enough....I'm doin it wrong, aren't I?]]>May 6th 2009 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/
We could debate all day, but at the end of the day, a 20-30 dollar pair of Sennheisers is a lot closer to reference (A goes in, A goes out, essentially) than anything Skullcandy makes. Our pretentious, handmade douchebaggy 300 dollar headphones would blow both of them out of the water. It's not pretentious to call a company out for making generations of people oblivious to the fact that their headphones are adding ridiculous amounts of bass that isn't in the recording, while murdering the highs, and squashing the mids.

You are correct in one thing though; The kids buying these are not buying 300 dollar headphones. For one thing, a mobile device couldn't power most 300 dollar+ headphones. Obviously most kids couldn't afford 300 dollar headphones either. For a kid looking to get more out of his Ipod, I'd suggest some in-ear canalphones from Shure or Etymotic. With 300 being the plateau, you get a little better sound for every ten or twenty dollars you can put into a headphone purchase. Anything is better than ruining your hearing trying to actually hear the vocals over the ear wrecking bass of bad headphones.]]>May 6th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/

As a semi-trendsetter in electronic fashion I have to say I prefer mix-style (Japan) and WESC (New York) have made very similar designs but are more tasteful aesthetic-wise. However, WESC sources their headphone drivers from Sennheiser and mix-style is probably sourcing their drivers from audio-technica or something. So great headphone drivers + the tacky shibuya-like street fashion look which skullcandy fails to emulate.

If you're looking for solid designs from a reputable audio company I recommend you look up audio-technica's headphones. They have some really nice designs for every type of design.]]>May 7th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/skullcandy-intros-decibel-collection-headphones-for-the-young-h/May 7th 2009 1:29PM
