Noted and ignored. So did Aorg get bought out by an advertising agency, or what?

I agree it's kind of an odd post. But I will say SkullCandy are not as good as some people claim. I have tried several sets, from the cheap earbuds to the more expensive "pro" models, and none have really given what I would consider exceptional audio quality. They always seemed like novelty items compared to often cheaper and far better sennheiser headphones. You often see the wannabe tredy kids wearing them attached to the latest "i" device.

I got some SkullCandy headphones thrust upon me by o2 when I got my new phone. I have used them once and they have gone back into the box and in a draw never to be seen again.

I wonder if it is a sponsored ad.

I have a pair of soundblaster tactic 3d's (the Alpha edition with THX TruStudio Pro) and they are incredible. The bass is thunderous and games like Space Marine are just incredible. They are really comfortable too.
 
Got mine in a sale for £45 a few years back. Now you can pick them up for £25.

Koaftder has hit it in the head with all the "premium"  brands. They all dump excess amounts of bass in your ears and drown out everything else. And rap stars are going to advertise them because most of the time their albums are full of bollocks and nonsense. So the lack of defined vocals on the headphones probably help sell records.
