Personally, i would not choose the Skullcandy pair. I owned them before and i was satisfied at the start but eventually just hated them :P The bass isn't the best you could get, i've heard better bass on some of the sony headphones (the ones with the buds :oops: ) Secondly they are not sturdy, infact, there really fragile. I managed to snap mine at the opening of the extension so they are now useless :thumbdown: . Hope this helps in any way :)
