Skullcandy 50/50 review

The bass-heavy Skullcandy 50/50s are never-the-less an engaging listen

Choice of colour ; powerful bass

Lack subtlety and composure

Plump bass spoils a vigorous performance

Skullcandy 50/50

The fact that Skullcandy describes its products as the "sickest" headphones around should give you some idea of the target audience. The brand offers a huge range of headphones and earphones with the emphasis firmly on the cool aesthetics. But, is it a...

Cool design, comfortable, in-line remote, excellent bass, carry case

Slightly pricey, audio could be better

The Skullcandy 50/50 certainly look the part and the comfy design, complete with differently sized ear pieces for you to choose from is also a bonus. Although they block out a fair bit of noise, the overall audio is a tad disappointing considering the...

Skullcandy 50/50 review

A quick refresher: canalbuds such as the Skullcandy 50/50 are headphones that in essence split the difference - in design, and often in price - between traditional earbuds and in-ear-canal (“canalphone”) models. Since they fit partially in the ear...

Despite finding its bass to be often overwhelming, we think the Skullcandy 50/50 is a nice headset for certain audiences. We know there are plenty of listeners out there - particularly those who listen to electronic music and hip-hop, and those who...

Review: Skullcandy 50/50

We tested two models from Skullcandy, the 50/50s and the Fix. These 50/50s, the cheaper of the two, are sort of half way between in-ear...

Good bass response when you get the seal correct. Wrapped cable makes for easy storing and helps cut down on cable noise

The skull detailing is the brand’s signature flourish, but man, it made me feel like 13-year old emo skater kid. Persistent static drone is irritating

Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds review: Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds

Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds

The Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds come in a variety of colors and offer plenty of bass. They feature an inline mic as well as playback and volume controls for the iPod/iPhone.

The clarity of the Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds isn't great, and they don't seem very durable. May not be comfortable for all users.

The Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds offer big bass and useful features for a reasonable price--just don't expect top-notch construction.

Skullcandy 50/50

Priced at just under $50, Skullcandy's 50/50 earphones are a solid low-cost choice for extreme bass lovers with iPhones.

Affordable. Deep bass response. Secure fit. Some passive noise reduction. Built-in iPhone/iPod controls.

Bold design is not for everyone. Although secure, earpieces may need to be adjusted to improve audio performance.

SkullCandy 50/50 Review

SkullCandy 50/50 is a combination earbud and microphone designed for the iPhone and iPod

The SkullCandy 50/50 headphones come in many colors, have in-line volume control for the iPod and iPhone, as well as a mic

The SkullCandy 50/50 earbuds are are decent, the overall quality of the audio can leave a bit to be desired. Also, the earbuds may not be comfortable for every user. This is normal for any in-ear headphone set. This is not a noise canceling device
