Skullcandy Riff On-Ear Wired Headphones, Convenient for Travel with 3.5mm Plug, Built-In Microphone, Foldable Lightweight Comfortable Design, Durable Headband - Blue/Sunset

These are seriously the best on ear headphones. They are so flipping comfortable. I also like that they don’t completely surround my eat(that gets hot hot) and I can still hear(slightly) the world around me. They are light weight, love the color options and the price can’t be beat. Plus the sound gets super loud and doesn’t crack out. Tbh they break before they go bad but that’s because I use them constantly. And I keep buying them because I love the sound quality.

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.

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!

For the price you pay, these headphones deliver a great sound with a balanced range and ample bass. By comparison, I purchased these to replace an older set of Beats Studio HD headphones and was pleasantly surprised that the Skullcandy's sounded better than the Beats.The fit is good, even with my larger knoggin' and the on-ear cushions are very soft. That lead me to one of my negatives. The fabric that encloses the earpieces is very flimsy and I can see these fraying or tearing very easily. Another drawback is the chord. It is short and it is fixed to the headphones so there is no replacing it with a longer chord.Even with the negatives, I found these headphones to be a great value for the price and am very happy with the quality of sound they put out
