Yes, but there are better options now. They're not a bad buy, still, just the THE best. Instead, look at the Ultrasone HFI-580 and Brainwavz HM5.


Are they good for listening to rap, rock, classic rock. I like heavy bass too.


Yes, any of these are.

Seriously, if you can, return them. Read the OP, I explained why. I also specifically said not to post things like this.

Unfortunately, they're both garbage. Again, I explained why in the OP.

Skullcandies are not all bad, the newer products are designed in house and actually sound nice for the price. Beats on the other hand, not good at all. The Skullcandy aviator destroyed the Studio in bass. Cheap older skullcandies are terrible though.

I actually got to use a pair of Aviators a few days ago, and I was pretty impressed. Since the M50 is my only real reference, that's all I can use to judge them. The Aviators do not isolate well at all, are not built nearly as well, and the cable is not so great. Still, the sound is more fun than the M50, and I loved it for electronic music. I actually thought they were pretty bad for rock, which I found strange. They seem to be marketed at the rock crowd. They're definitely bassy and I found the soundstage to be very good. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to make a conclusion on the overall sound, but from what I heard, the M50 has better overall sound quality.

When I say Skullcandy sucks, I just mean in general. I don't feel like taking the time to explain their more recent developments, and people are rarely, if ever, thinking of the Aviator or Mix Master.

Don't feel like talking? Just add a short paragraph and link this video interview Jude did with their engineer.

Yeah, I'll probably just add a passage about Skullcandy in the OP. Still, nobody reads the OP or any of the thread on this site. I have to direct them to it.
