Sound review? This is hard because there is so much that goes into it. I'll give it a shot. I can't talk about leakage because I'm not usually around people when these are on. There is no noise cancelling but the fit and the pads do an okay job of getting rid of a lot of background noise. These replaced some Koss Porta-Pros and some old Sol headphones as my main laptop headphones. (That's where I do most of my work.) So yes, I'm running off a laptop. No fancy power sources. They can get nice and loud and not bring in any distortion. That's good. I guess these are probably "somewhat warm" sounding headphones. I listen to some vaporwave and a lot of metal (black/thrash and such) so I think I cover the need to hear all levels and ranges of sound and don't have a need to focus on one aspect over the other but I guess the elephant in the room is always bass? It handles bass pretty well. It isn't an overly aggressive bass sound but you can hear it nicely and distinctly. There is some punch to the bass but, to be sure, it isn't at the level of beats headphones (and I like beats, but they are also a lot more money). Listening to some of the raw metal recordings, the bass is nice and it handles the distortion and rawness of metal tracks very well. So, the bass is good to the extent that the headphones generally maintain a consistent and clear sound-profile. And there is clearly more bass than more clear or neutral sounding headphones. It isn't necessarily a bass heavy headphone but it is definitely bass capable. I can make the volume louder or softer without introducing any more distortion and I don't have to listen to it loudly to "hear" the music.
These are very good headphones for the price. The four stars is because the headphone market is brutal and these are four star headphones, especially for the price. They are not magic value headphones that you would/could pay +$150 for, or something like that. That is, in my mind, going in to five star territory. For the price you will probably pay for these on this site, you are getting a really great pair of daily drivers and they are easy to recommend. I'm considering getting the (a) blue-tooth version of these.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023
the cherry-on-top with these phones is the power they can handle. again, much like the jib earbuds, these phones can handle pretty much as much juice as your device is able to throw at it with no distortion. a phone won't crank too much but i also tested them with a headphone amplifier and they blast!
these headphones don't have any noise-cancelling system but i generally avoid that anyway. they're also not very quiet externally so if you're blasting music, everyone around you will hear it, too. that may be a con for some but i only use these at home so no biggie.
the only drawback for me is that they're a little smaller than i expected (hand in the pic for scale reference), but that's not at all a design flaw and not anything to bring it down from five stars.
these headphones are great not just for the price but ESPECIALLY for the price. they perform every bit as well as anything you'd find in the $50-$100 range. if you're looking for something for studio use, these are not for you as they're made to sound good, not flat. but if you want to rattle your brain with clear, defined boomy sound, these are the ones!

Though, I should've known that it was all too good to be true over a year ago when I picked up my first set. The build quality is horrific. The plastic is so loud and flimsy whenever you take them off it truly sounds and feels like you're cracking a wishbone each time. I am about to purchase my third pair in less than 2 years because I have never found another pair of headphones so suited to me at such a cheap price that I am WILLING to replace them every few months when the head adjustment bracket breaks yet again just from taking them off and putting them on again. I don't know if I will ever find another pair of headphones designed so nicely, yet so cheaply at the same time.
If Skullcandy were to release an upgraded model with better build quality with the same mesh earcup design I would easily shell over $300+ dollars for them. $20 every few months will suit me fine for now.

Si bien no son aisladores de ruidos, se escuchan perfectamente incluso en lugares muy concurridos. Son fáciles de emparejar con el teléfono y la función adicional para encontrarlos a través de la app de skullcandy es un plus.
Valen el precio que se paga.
I have been using these for 14 months now, DAILY, because I work from home, and they are still looking and working like brand new. I take them off and put them on easily 20-30 times a day. Sure, I've been gentle with them when taking them off/putting them on and hanging them on my desk, but I think everybody should take some care when doing that anyways.
Pros:
- Ear pads are SUPER soft and cushiony (also a con, read below).
- Sound quality is DECENT for such a cheap pair of headphones. I'm a bit of an audiophile and will often return headphones if they don't sound good (and trust me, a lot in this price range and even more expensive don't sound great). Sure they don't sound as good as my $300 headphones, but for normal/everyday use while working, they're good enough.
- They look fantastic.
- The inline mic is decent (I'm able to have conference calls with it no problem and people hear me fine).
Cons:
- The ear pads are a bit TOO soft and compress a lot, causing some discomfort during longer listening sessions, probably due to the plastic behind them. Maybe they got worse with time, too.
- They *feel* flimsy (BUT they haven't shown any signs of weakness or breakage yet).
I'd definitely buy them again.
