I received these about 2 weeks ago by "cashing in" some of my Coke Rewards points. They are the 11mm variety and they kick ass!
I really like the sound quality, and the fit. They come with soft silicon ends as well as soft foam. They also have a braided, insulated wire, gold plated jacks, and the buds housings are metal not plastic. :bigthumb

HERE (http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/685/iPHone_FMJ_2.jpg) is a peek at what they look like. I've seen these selling for $42-$79 online.

I love my Skullcandy earbuds. They sound amazing, and Skullcandy's CS is amazing to say the least.

My ski helmet has a Skullcandy sound system built in and works pretty damn well.

That review isn't lying one bit! I went from a set of KOSS and Bose earbuds, and these just completely kill the other two. They seal off the ear so no ambient noise comes in, and they have a killer frequency range. Great lows, and screamin' highs. Everything from John Coltrane to Pantera sounds amazing! They may be a little more expensive than the next set, but they're worth it!

I originally bought the 10 dollar Skullcandy buds and was blown away...unfortunately a week later they shorted out. I got a refund but was so impressed with the sound that i bought their $45 earbuds and they sound amazing. I can't justify the $99+ that Boss want for theirs.

Check HERE (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=E3EO4NPE1IVDBKC4D3DFAGY?_dy ncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=skullcandy&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960), if you see one you like, add it to "Cart", then select "pick up", then add your zip code, and you can see which stores have them in stock. ;)

On Skullcandy's website, it lists Dick's Sporting Goods as a dealer. :dunno:

FYI, Target has the buds and earphones, but i got my buds at FYE in the mall and they have a pretty wide selection.

Thank you so much for turning me on to these. Iwould have never herd of them otherwise.

They are expensive, but I think they will save me money in the long run. I would burn up a set of the apple Ipod replacement buds in about 2-3 months. They are like $20-30 a set. These Skull Candy buds seem very well made and they have a lietime warranty. I also like how they come with extra foam inserts to fit bigger or smaller ears.
Im gonna go try them out at the gym now. :D

Thanks again Scotty!

Man you drink a lot of coke.
:lol: I actually don't drink soda pop of any kind. I cheat and have friends and family give me the points they get. I just got a B&D RTX rotary tool (Dremel) about a week ago from Coke. I get more stuff from Coke this way than I ever did working there! :lol:
