Guys,

Need your opinions!

I need some decent quality headphones for around 20 to 30 UK pounds.
Looking for use as my mp3 player headphones and occasionally on my amp.

Saw these skullcandy : http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...archtype=genre

However i only looked at these because of the name, however I also hear there a bit overrated.

So give me your suggestions ladies


PS: BIGGIE HERE - Will be using these in the gym so will get sweaty for around an hour

Nooo! Not skullcandy! Get these instead http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/headpho...Headphones.htm


Edit: I realised that post probably wasn't really that helpful to you, so I'll be a little more descriptive. The Akg K518's are probably one of the best set of budget headphones that will be easily driven by an ipod alone, so a headphone amp isn't necessary straight away.

They usually retail for around £40-50 over here, but iheadphones have a deal on at the moment with £10 off. Sound quality wise, these headphones will beat the skullcandy's.

i have the Hesh and they are awsome i dont under stand why all the people be hating LOL i have had 3 sets of skullcandys and they all rule

i had buds but i wanted cans

i had lowriders but my mate snapped them in half

i now have hesh and they sound awsome and they are indestructable!
Cheers for suggestions so far, fancy ordering them so they come for next week.

as long as they sound good and look ok then i will like them, anything is better than these stupid philips buds that have two different size rubber inserts because i lost one.
Pain in the ass when on a runner or doing bench press :mad:
I updated my first post with a little more info for you.

Not worth the money imo.
I got a pair of HD 201's for $14 so I'd imagine your higher budget should afford better quality.

They are overpriced, sound like complete crap, and have horrible build quality. I had two pairs, both died under a week.

I've had three sets of Skull Candy buds. First set lasted a month, RMA'd. Second set lasted a week, RMA'd. Third set went on ebay. I wasnt that impressed with the sound quality either
