What customers say about "Key Specs"

Skullcandy 50/50

Great sound, you can hear every single sound that the music plays, and the quality is amazing. Very crisp and clear.
The cable length is good (At least if not over 3Ft, don't know the actual measurements off hand).
The nylon braid of the cable makes them notoriously difficult to break and the type of rubber jacket over the cable is durable and strong.
The wire that Skullcandy uses is rather weak, and I have had several pairs of these earbuds due to issues both at the jack and at the bud itself.
The buds are made from thin plastic, and have come apart before, causing a wiring issue.

I love these headphones. Skull candy is the only company that makes affordable yet great quality earphones!
Good investment for a decent quality head buds. Skull candy is my go to headphones brand. They are comfortable and the sound quality is very, very good.
I am a big fan of the age old skullcandy method earphones. Those babies lasted two and half years with exceptional sound quality.
The housing and plug are made of cheap plastic. I think its gonna be work for a little time.
Unfortunately the plastic earbuds make the insides of my ears sweat. I know, it's weird, but it's a review so there's the truth.

What customers say about "Features"

Skullcandy 50/50

The cord never seems to get tangled like other headsets. Nice bass and lightweght.
The in-line controller works wonders and is simple to use with my iPhone and I use it occasionally when receiving/making calls.
The mic according to my friends is the same if not better than the standard iPhone mic.
The ear-buds come with 2 extra sets of Silicone Gel sizes (One Small, One Large) which can perfectly stay in the carrying case with the built in pocket inside.
The only real flaw I found is the case itself since it's not fully shown and misleading to be a full nylon hard carrying case.

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds 2 Noise Isolating Earbuds with In-Line Microphone and Remote

These earphone are comfortable enough, have sufficiently good sound quality, and have a relatively nice tangle resistant cable.
The earphones uses flat cables which feels like flattened thin rubber. They feel like soft linguine in terms of thinness and softness.
The bass is amazing, everything else is clear and crisp, the cord is easy to untangle as well.
I have experienced a number of issues with the inline mic and button. In particular the inline button is far too easy to press accidentally.
The microphone is positioned on the left ear instead of the right, the quality of the microphone I found is inferior to those on the EarPods.
