There comes a time that no matter how much you try to fix your headphones like that your cable just got too short that you will have to buy a new one. I picked up the Skullcandy 50/50 for its price and my confidence with the Skullcandy product. I picked up the black color, but the Skullcandy 50/50 comes in many variety of colors. Lets dive in to see if this pair can last another year!
First Impression:
Right out of the package, you get a free metal case to store your headphones - it is a simple casing, just to make sure your headphones will not tangle. The Skullcandy 50/50 features a cool looking ear-bud with the logo in-printed all over the earpiece/headphones. It has volume/music controls on the left piece and the entire cable is lined using a flat cable to ensure that the cable will not get unintentionally tangled. Although it does come with multiple different color, most of the design features just 1 main color and an accent - I wasnt super impressed by the design, but still attracted by the price. Lets see if the Skullcandy 50/50 can be a trusted pair to keep in your pocket.Test Drive:
The Skullcandy 50/50 volume control was designed for both Android and iOS, it features the basic function of controlling your music (play, pause, next song). Im really happy with how it turned out because it responds pretty well to my phone; sadly, volume control does not work with Android phones by default. The Skullcandy 50/50 is a mid tier headphone, it offers crisp sound - but the bass is relatively weak; that is not to say that the headphones is anywhere close to low quality. The headphones cables really favors those who tends to just drop their pair in their bag - although some light tangling still occurred, its not at the point where it gets really annoying for you to untangle them.
Like most of the headphones that has a built-in control, I seem to have problems with the microphone whenever I tried to use them for calling purposes.
Opinion:
There is really not much to say about the SkullCandy 50/50 - this pair is definitely marketed for day to day use. Fully responsive volume control, tangle resistant cables and enjoyable sounds definitely put this pair to have for emergencies. Although it comes with a metal case for carrying, its nothing special and most people would probably stopped trying to use them after a week or so. I always enjoy SkullCandy warranty offer that puts costumer at ease whenever their headphones gets broken. With the price tag of $49.99, you definitely get a comfortable pair of headphones that would spice up your walk to class.
