Amiga.org recommends Skullcandy Headphones for Amiga, MorphOS, AROS & Amiga Forever

I always felt Skullcandy were more gimmick and less music. Could be wrong, though - never really tried.
Two things I do know though:
1) I hope this isn't the start of advertising through the forums. That'd be a really bad thing. "This post sponsored by Kill'em Weapon Systems". It reminds me of those really cheesy adverts prevalent in America in the 70's and 80's, where some famous bloke gets paid loads of money just to look at the camera and say "I smoke Laramie cigarettes because of the smooth, smooth flavour *cough* *hack*". Though they usually edited out the coughing, probably.
2) I'll stick to me Sennheisers thanks. Very good sound and good value headphones. I'm certainly not going to waste my very expensive Linn turntable on a pair of dodgy headphones.

The one thing that figures don't describe though is what the mid-range is like.

In my experience, speakers and headphones are often designed to be all bass and treble. For instance the worst offenders are the awful Creative Labs speakers. I've seen people say about how great they are but to me the tiny satellites+big sub sound awful because you end up with a bass that's completely unnatural and a high end that's unbalanced with the rest. The kind of music I listen to doesn't need stupidly heavy bass, it needs accurate sound reproduction right the way up the range (I listen to little music past the mid-80's, mostly 70's and before). That's why I use KEFs as my main speakers (Q35s and Cresta 2s).

There's only one thing you can be sure of with speakers of any kind - everybody has different tastes and figures will never mean anything as to whether they'll like the sound.

Probably still better than SkullCandy ones though.
