Skullcandy Lowrider 2.0 On-Ear Headphones with Mic - Pink

Wasn't expecting much when I ordered this one, but to my surprise they are definitely worth praising.I was looking for a cheap but reputed headphones, stumbled upon these quite a few times but ignored them due to the very low price tag. Finally ordered them considering the fact that its only £9.88 (Blue n Copper) and its a very reputed brand, so even if they don't sound good or look good it won't matter a lot.I selected the standard delivery, ordered on thursday and it was supposed to come on monday, but, amazing service by the suppliers and Amazon, it got delivered the very next day, i.e. on friday itself.The headphones look stunning, if not too so premium but they are well build, perfect finishing and a very nice matt blue smooth texture. Plugged in straight away to my iPod and the first song I tested was a very low sounding heavy bass track (a bollywood one) and it sounded very well. Its well tuned and the bass and trebble are both synced well. The padding on earcups look a bit dismantled but the effect on ear is comforting as opposed to the hollows ones with whom our ears stay confused about positioning the cups around the ears or over them and even partially on both the positions and thus the struggle irritates much. Hence the padding in these ones are nice to ears so the ears just concentrate on the music and not the position of the earcups. Hence to sum up, here are the pros and cons:Pros-1. Brand name (so don't worry about people staring at them)2. Smooth matt finish3. Detachable cord (but not wireless playback)4. Collapsible5. Well tuned6. Comfortable to head7. Comfortable to earsCons-1. Too many delicate hinges (pulls hair if you're careless)2. Padding cloth looks cheap and dismantled3. Band size is small, although extendible, but it should have been able to fit a normal adult head without extending. (Personal opinion, and I pull two levels to get these positioned)Overall, I'm pleased that i tried these. It's worth playing with your £10. You won't regret it.

For the price that these headphones come at, they are definitely worth it.After my previous headphones broke, I went several months buying sad excuses for earbuds from pound shops until I thought the poor sound quality was going to make my ears bleed and decided to splurge on something more...long lasting.Being a student, I was looking for headphones of "actual quality" although I wasn't going to buy "proper" high-end phones which start £100 upward.Reading the reviews for these, and judging by the brand, I decided these were the low risk investment I was looking for and went for it.I have not regretted it a single minute.The bass is beautiful and the sound is rich. The controller on the cord is very handy as I mainly use them for listening to music on an iPhone so I can skip tracks without having to dig the phone out each time. It also has a built in mic, so if someone calls me while I'm listening to my tunes on the bus, I can just tap the controller and take the call again without going rummaging.Being on the go, the fact that these headphones fold is infinitely useful and they tuck nicely into my handbag (which isn't even all that big).The actual phones also swivel so if I need / want to have them around my neck, I can turn the ear pieces flat against my collar so that they are comfortable and don't stick up awkwardly.The cord is also a very good length so I rarely have issues about having restricted movements (lest I be unplugged). But with my headphones the cord has a curl which was there when I unpacked it for the first time that hasn't come out, and also tends to sprawl all over the place, so I'm often untangling myself from my handbag.The sound leak is also not too bad, so for the level I listen to music at no one else has ever heard it. But I think if I blared at full volume, then I might bother others.Purple is also a bit of an unusual colour, in that I've yet to see someone else in public with purple headphones, and I like having something a bit out of the ordinary. If I wanted to be more inconspicuous though, I'd go with black or white.With all that said, these headphones are very nice for their price range and for a student definitely exactly what I was looking for.However, for high-end sound I think these fall short of the mark. If I were looking for headphones for a truly immersive gaming experience, unless money was an issue I would not get these. They're certainly better than any cheaper alternative, but now that I've had them for about 3 months I'm getting hungry for even better bass and richer sound.All in all, I can so see myself going for another pair when the time comes, or even recommending these to friends / family.

Feel comfortable and updated. Quality sound and don't feel cheap or flimsy. They pack away nicely and feel smooth. Great purchase, will update if anything changes in the future. I also use these for my PS4, the sound from that is also fantastic and the microphone works well too. My only problem is no in-line controls but you can't get everything.EDIT: -1* as the more I have been using them the more uncomfortable they have been on my ears. The worst thing is there isn't really any way to counter it but push through it. I was liking it but my left ear has been chewed off in the process. Try avoiding this headset first if you can.
