So, just shy of 4 months and my Skullcandy headphones just broke. I took them off and they snapped on the right side adjustment bar. I went looking online for reviews and everyone has the exact same problem! I filled out warranty and supposedly they'll be sending me a new pair.
They're pretty good with warranties last I dealt and heard about them. Maybe you should mod these new pair once they arrive and make them more resilient? I'm not sure how you'd go about that, grant you, but who know's, you're a pretty resourceful guy. Maybe take them apart and replace the plastic/weak bits with something stronger like metal? Just throwing around ideas anyways.
funny my skullcandy earbuds just broke on me too. gonna have to warranty em too.
Hmm that's a shame. I have had my Skullcandy GI's for around 3 years now with no trouble at all, and I do use them every day.
I had Skullcandy earphones for about a month before the right bud randomly died on me. I replaced them with some V-Moda Vibes this past summer and maaaaaan am I happy. The kevlar cord is very nice to have, they sound great, look great, and are all around a great buy. They've lasted me six months now, which is the longest I've had a pair of earphones... definitely worth $60.
I'm not knocking Skullcandy at all, but I just don't think they're of very good quality when it comes to how they're built. Soundwise they're great.
They may not be very good quality now but the pair I have have been through hell and are still going strong lol.
