I think a thread would be nice if you organize it by quality, while giving price, and information others might look for.. ie. bass, or ghz or whatever..

I know I'd find it useful.
The only real brand that I have ever known of, besides cheap crap in stores, are SkullCandy and I have heard of Beats.

I agree, whereas it seems they are slightly getting better, their costs have gone up greatly, and they have gone from lifetime warranty dollars, to points (1900 points were $19.00), to points that go away after 2-3 months. Basically not allowing you to save them.

I have paid for Skullcandy headphone from E-Bay which I received not working...
Emailed the seller and they sent a stupid letter back saying I could send them in.
(That is shipping money wasted on my part to send in their defect.)
I then emailed SkullCandy who sent me a free pair and a smaller cheap buds pair too.
(I then sent in the defect for the extra points since they did not tell me what I could or could not do with them.)

I've had many where parts would just go bad.. my last pair:
Aviator Blacks - Broke in about three months, the mic stopped working. Sometimes I couldn't hear through the headphones because of it too. Then they dropped and the wire came out of the mic. o.O

I've had maybe 7 other pairs of Skullcandy that I constantly returned for others...
(Which is why I say I'm stuck in their loop.)

I now have:
Hesh 2 Carbon W/Mic
Heavy Medal Black W/Mic
And another discontinued pair from them somewhere W/Mic.

I do like their looks and keeping their bags though..
The sound quality is... good? I guess.
Can't say I really look for sound quality or can I really tell the difference..

I give them less than 6 months.

(Yes, I've actually justified why I find them horrible, and not just saying they are without reasoning)
