Skullcandy headphones
My son uses these every day. The sound quality is incredible, and they are comfortable to wear. They are well worth the money.

Great sound quality! Great Value!
Bought for my son.He works in maintenenace and he wears this at work to drowned out the other noises.This is the second pair he has bought.First pai lasted 5 years, but he ran over them with a riding mower by accident.

Love these the most
These are seriously the best on ear headphones. They are so flipping comfortable. I also like that they don’t completely surround my eat(that gets hot hot) and I can still hear(slightly) the world around me. They are light weight, love the color options and the price can’t be beat. Plus the sound gets super loud and doesn’t crack out. Tbh they break before they go bad but that’s because I use them constantly. And I keep buying them because I love the sound quality.

Delivers great sound for budget phones, but...
For the price you pay, these headphones deliver a great sound with a balanced range and ample bass. By comparison, I purchased these to replace an older set of Beats Studio HD headphones and was pleasantly surprised that the Skullcandy's sounded better than the Beats.The fit is good, even with my larger knoggin' and the on-ear cushions are very soft. That lead me to one of my negatives. The fabric that encloses the earpieces is very flimsy and I can see these fraying or tearing very easily. Another drawback is the chord. It is short and it is fixed to the headphones so there is no replacing it with a longer chord.Even with the negatives, I found these headphones to be a great value for the price and am very happy with the quality of sound they put out
H**!
Very good headphones for the price.
For the price these are excellent headphones and a worthy candidate for "daily driver." For me, these are computer/desk headphones. That is my use and that is probably how you should plan on using them as well. The cushions are very soft but the fit itself is on the firm side. Because the cushions are soft, they are nice and comfortable. Because the cushions are soft I'd be hesitant about getting too much sweat in them at the gym. They won't fall off-- that's not the issue-- but I'm guessing you don't want to get the cushions wet. Are they durable? They sit at my desk. I thought about stuffing them in a "getting too full" backpack for a flight recently and I declined to do so. If you are really going to be putting them into very full bags maybe see if you can handle a pair in the store before making a decision. On the desk? As long as you aren't yanking these things off you should be fine.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.

Not suitable for my needs as a constant user.
I’m a nearly 24/7 headphones wearer so have a lot of important criteria. My current daily drivers are the skullcandy uproar wireless, which have been frustratingly discontinued, so… the search begins.First and foremost, my headphones need to be comfortable and they can not make me overheat. These were both a little uncomfortable, and already made me feel too warm within just a few minutes of wear. I specifically gave these a chance because another reviewer said they didn’t cause overheating, but this was not the case for me. A lot of the discomfort was from the tightness of the band, which will loosen over time so I’m willing to forgive it, but the ear cups—while decently soft and squishy—seemed to reflect my own body heat back at me and amplify it. This would make them unwearable for even an hour, let alone a full day. I will say that I appreciated the design of how the band is adjusted, because they adjust higher up, meaning it gives both a little more width and a little more length than other, similar designs. Many headphones continue to squeeze your ears tight to the side of your face no matter how long the extension is, but the additional widening helped enough that I can see how they’d be very comfortable with some wearing in.These sound excellent, which I’ve come to expect from Skullcandy. The sound is clear and un-muffled, and does not feel lacking. I don’t really know the differences in sound descriptions and words, but skullcandy has always sounded very, very good to me when it comes to listening to every kind of media I can think of.The buttons are too small to quickly find when you need to pause or adjust the volume, and I pause my sound a significantly high number of times per day, so this would be a problem. I could add dots of puffy paint to them if I wanted to make them more prominent, but I’d already decided these weren’t keepers. They’re also grouped really closely together and feel sort of “mushy” when you press them, which makes the physical act of doing so a bit difficult if your fingertips are hyperflexible. The absolute distaste I have for these buttons was a HUGE part of rejecting the headphones overall, as well as the fact there seems to be a bit of a delay when you press play/pause to when it actually activates. So on top of pressing the button being a slow event, the action itself is slowed, as well. No thanks.All in all, these are not the WORST headphones I’ve ever tried, but I decided in less than an hour they weren’t worth a hoot at all for me.If you’re also a nonstop headphones user, I’d recommend finding something else for your daily driver.
