Review on ๐ŸŽง Skullcandy Stim On-Ear Headphones: Enhanced Audio and Comfortable Fit with Built-In Microphone and Remote - Black by Will Kern

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good, not bad for the price

Above average priced headphones. I have $200 headphones and I can say these Skullcandy lack the highs and mids, but not terribly. It costs money. Pretty impressive bass for its size. I'm only pointing out these things because I see other reviewers bragging about how great and amazing these headphones sound - they're above average for the price, but they're NOT as good as the high-end skullcandy, and not as good like the other more expensive headphones. to be expected. If you have an equalizer on your music player, you can fix most of it. If you often listen to YouTube music, you cannot change the equalizer. So don't put your hopes in the sky it says they sound good for music and phone calls - that includes what you hear as well as what your mic puts out during calls (I tested it on both ends). They are a bit tight in my opinion if you wear glasses you should raise your temples a little above ear level or the springy action of this headset will cause more pain than others as they are tighter than other cans. Unless you like slightly tight headphones, unless you have a smaller head, they probably aren't for you. Taking matters into my own hands, I heated the center headrest with a hot hair dryer and folded them back so they were less tight. I then dunked the headband under cold water to "lock" the new position. It worked great, they are no longer tight. If you try this, be careful not to break the headphones in half. Gentle pressure under heat works great. Also, you CAN adjust these Skullcandy headphones, they stretch and lengthen contrary to what some reviewers say, but you can't adjust how snug they fit unless you use my technique above, just so you know . Good buy and I would buy again.
