We had these Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Earbuds laying around the office for a couple months thinking they would be a perfect back-up for when our Apple buds took a second tour through the washing machine.
Skullycandy CEO Rick Alden told us they were amazing, but we didn’t really listen. When we finally plugged them a couple weeks ago we immediately felt like complete and total idiots for having waited so long.
These are simply the best earbuds we have ever used on any device. They fit our ears right out of the box, but if they didn’t Skullcandy was nice enough to include four more sets of buds virtually guaranteeing a perfect fit. The design of the 11 mm speaker and bud blocks out just the right amount of annoying outside sounds without making us completely oblivious to oncoming traffic, and the sound stays solid from listening to podcast at night to rocking out on a crowded train.
We recommend doing what we wish we had done months ago: Throw your Apple earbuds directly in the trash and go grab a pair of Full Metal Jackets. They are available online for $69.95 and for those who live by their iPhone or iPod they are worth every penny.
