Skullcandy or WesC?
« on: July 27, 2009, 06:31:39 AM »
I Really badly need some headphones, proper headphones, not earphones (I am officially tired with them, constantly falling out my ears, giving me headaches). I need some headphones that are comfy, look great and sound good, i ain't looking for the greatest sound, just good sound. Also under £40 if possible

Now i have been looking at the skullcandy hesh (This colour as well) These are £32:


Or the plain hesh which are £25 (But they don't look as awesome):


Or the red WESCs which are £40, i personally think these look the best (Personal opinion), but are they as good?:


Also i want the headphones to last long, i heard the HESH break easily, is that true? What about the wescs?

I never had any that you listed, but i have these: http://ifrogz.com/products.php?cat=447

Its 35$ and you customize it and what not, and its great sound. There's also a couple other styles on the site that are more but nice.

Skullcandies in general are known to break easily... My friend had a pair that snapped because he stretched it A LITTLE too hard while putting it on his head.

Id prefer to get the WeSC's because they look awesome, but I need them to sound awesome too, and not to break easily, I am not sure if its more easily breakable than skull candies or if they are indestructable :|

I did some looking online and I can get the red ones for £26 delivered too. (£40 RRP)

Sennheisers are usually really expensive for the good ones (The cheap ones kinda suck tbh)

Also I dont really like the look of em... too plain, i want some cool vibrant ones

wow. lots of hate against skullcandy.

i personally love them and think they sound great.

i have never heard of the WesC's but they dont look like they'd suck too bad.

@Freek: agreed

skull candy are very popular, therefore you hear more bad things about them, most people who leave reviews leave bad ones, not that many go back and say wow what a great purchase. take care of them and youshould be fine. I just wouldnt go stuffing them in a pack or something.

i have a set of skull candy and i don't like them. sure they look cool but thats about all they are good for. with in a week some of the plastic bits around the ear cups broke off now they don't sit right. the sound quality is poor. the only reason i picked them up was because i stepped on and broke my nice set of sony headphones they weren't flashy but i had them for 3 years and for headphones that don't need amplification they were the best (why did i have to step on them???)

thats just my two cents

Ok it seems skull candy are getting some pretty much mixed reviews, i went into the wesc store today to try the headphones and i must say, the quaility is much better than I thought, not as good as top end sonys or bose but much better than skull candy, also they look really good on me, and they are really comfy, i think ive made my mind up

I also tried on the skull candy today, it is very flimsly, when i flick the cups, it makes a weird hollow plastic sound, and although the quaility is decent, wesc have GOOD sound, however I think id be more than happy with the skull candies anyway,

but wesc are a new brand so there isn't much reviews online, but from the ones i can find, they are better than skull candies in terms of sound, and they are much more durable, but way over priced (But its on sale where im getting it, usually double to triple the price)
