So, my Sony studio headphones broke in half at camp and I need new head phones.
I got these Earbuds but they aren't to comfortable after using them for awhile.

And I have a long trip to Isreal so I need some new headphones. If anyone has used them are they any good. http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/gi-p-6.html

skullcandy earbuds suck, and the headphones seem crappy
my earbuds broke withing 2 days of having them and i got a new pair of sonys intstead. Get a pair of sennheiser headphones. I have used my friends and they sound amazing and will last you. They do cost a lot though sometimes.

it seems like your paying more for looks than sound with skullcandy. If you want good sound, def. go with Sennheiser.

i had a pair of skull candys with a subwolfer..its pretty awesome but not anymore because i blew out the bass in the left side so it makes a farting noise instead of bass

i loved them until i lost them when i was trashed a while back. The ear buds have a volume control switch on them that allowed me to make the music on my phone louder than the phone would let it.

My Sennheiser HD-280 Pros are insane. Fantastic sound, great isolation from outside noise, and comfortable. They're over the head cans like the Skullcandys. The retail is $200 but they go <$100 at most online places. While the Skullcandys have visual appeal, I can guarantee you that these Sennheisers sound better. And though those Skullcandys look nice in pictures, don't you think they'd look a little ridiculous actually being worn?

I don't need another pair of earbuds, my Sony's are fine for normal use. I just need some studio headphones for long trips and other use.
I should be getting the Skullcandy G.I. Rasta tomorrow. If I don't like them I will return them, so recommend some good and inexpensive studio headphones.

audiotechnica ath-anc7 headphones. noise cancellation, not just isolation. big difference. cancellation actually destroys low frequency soundwaves by producing essentially the inverse sound, while isolating headphones just block your ears from the sound.
many reviews have said they sound better and truer than the bose QC's do, and I love them.

if you want headphones that are studio style that are skullcandy products, i really like the SK Pro's, they are nice but a bit more pricey than the GI's
and for all you haters, visit Park City and see how they use skullcandy's products during winter and if your using boze in an abusing way i dont think they last long and i for one dont want to be paying 150+ when i trip on the outlet cord and break them. but atleast if you sign up for the warranty you only end up having to pay like 30 bucks for a pair of new skullcandy's

whoa, your going to Isreal? thats cool, just watch out, as you probably know, Isreal is the most fought-on area in the world, fighting has been there since time has begun, and still has not stopped. And obvioulsy the war in Iraq is near, so just come back in one piece... k?
anway, you have family there or something? sorry for asking so many questions, just really interesting that your going to Isreal! i have always wanted to go there...
back to headphones:
My uncle just got a pair of these (he's really into classical music, and used to be a composer) anyway, these are REALLY NICE. but they are EXTREMEMLY expensive, even the other models of these are great: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=3A97658D&nplm=TJ539VC/A
Heres a more affordable pair, these are also great, my cousin and friend have a pair of these and they are really nice, except i don't like them because they are too big for my taste. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=A8218CE&nplm=TK728VC/A

Its really safe in Israel, CNN and the other news channels just exaggerate whats happening in Israel. And I am going to Israel because my whole family and my relatives are going.
And I might go to Israel next year for 6 weeks.

oh thats cool, yea i know its safe, Isreal has one of the best militaries in the world, right behind the U.S. just the size isn't as big, but that country can take on anything.
well thats cool, have fun.

Yuck.
If you want good in-ear buds, get shure e2c's or e4c's
If you want a real set of "Cans" get something from sennheiser or bose.
Sennheiser's HD 500 line is a very modestly priced with amazing sound, I would avoid the HD 515, and shoot for the 555's for the sole reason of sound. The 50 dollars is well, WELL worth it.
As for bose, I would probably go for tri-ports but I really prefer the sennheisers.
icemat siberias
Those, along with the Steel Sound 5L v2, are a gaming headset designed for sound location over sound quality. I would not reccomend them for anyone, including gamers. They have a massive mark up because of the name.

siberias are nice for music, theyre rly comfortable and the sound is very nice for $60 on newegg
ive had the $150 ones from bose and they broke twice
my sisters $300 ones are sweet though
the sennheisers are pretty expensive and i like the siberias look better

Chucktown, your talking about the Gi, with the bullet. They suck compared to the ti's, if anything get skullcrushers.

I got Skullcandy's. Two pairs actually. The headphones (GI's, older w/o the bullets) and the earbuds (Smokin' Buds). Both of 'em do the job for me.
