Headphone Buyers Guide – Sennheiser & Skullcandy

Had a new iPod or MP3 Player recently, but not quite getting the sound you want out of it? Without doubt, the best way of getting a better sound out of your music player is by upgrading the headphones. The ones that come bundled in the box do an ok job, but if you’re serious about your tunes, you’ll want some serious headphones to get the best out of your music. We’ve just expanded our range of headphones for mobile phones, iPod’s and MP3 players. For the best possible audio quality, we’d recommend either Skullcandy or Sennheiser headphones, but whats the difference between them and which will suit you better? Hopefully this guide will point you in the right direction.

The concept behind these headphones is the 90° orientable speakers with built in volume control so they have pretty much everything you need in a set of headphones

Skullcandy Ti: The Hesh headphones are all about sound quality and are built for power and this is shown by the fact that they have the biggest power drivers you can get in a set of headphones (50mm high explosive power drivers) and with the leather design of the headphones they look pretty good too.

Skullcandy Hesh:
The Hesh headphones are all about sound quality and are built for power and this is shown by the fact that they have the biggest power drivers you can get in a set of headphones (50mm high explosive power drivers) and with the leather design of the headphones they look pretty good too.

Skullcandy Skullcrushers:
What makes the Skullcrushers stand out, is not their folding design or its comfortable padded ear-caps that nearly seal the outer ear from ambient noise. It’s the BASS! Attached to the headphone wire is a small amplifier that powers and processes a bass subwoofer inside the headphones! Perfect if you like to turn down the treble and crank up the bass!

Skullcandy INK’D:
The INK’D headphones are designed for people who just want to listen to music. They have a noise eliminating sleeve so you dont have to listen to background noise.
