Skullcandy has made quite a name for itself in the headphone world, thanks largely to its focus on funky fashion and its aggressive marketing tactics aimed at tweens, teens, and young adults. However, the latest Skullcandy earphones to come down the pipe are perhaps the most adult-oriented we've seen from the company. The 50/50 earbuds, which are moderately priced at $49.95, come in an array of relatively muted color options and feature inline controls for the iPhone and iPod as well as a striking low-end response. The clarity isn't the best and they feel a bit cheap and fragile, but if you're after some earphones with a hint of style and plenty of oomph, these aren't a bad option. As noted, the Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds aren't going to win any awards for top-notch construction. The earpieces are rather chunky and--like the accents and mic module--are made of hard, cheap-feeling plastic. The cable is flexible, but it tangles very easily and seems fragile at the connections to the plug and earpieces, both of which indicate the set may not be durable in the long run. The other downside to the design is the relatively large aperture of the earbuds, which may cause some discomfort for those with smaller or not perfectly round ear openings.
Skullcandy is no stranger to iPhone-friendly earphones, like the iPhone FMJ ($79.95, ), and the manufacturer's latest model is geared toward bass lovers on a budget. The flashy $49.95 (list) Skullcandy 50/50 is marketed as featuring "grinding bass," and believe me, it's truthful advertising. For iPhone (and newer iPod) owners, the integrated controls and microphone make it easy to adjust the volume, skip tracks, and answer and end calls. The 50/50 also offers a secure fit, but the earpieces need to be optimally placed for the best audio performance (more on that later). Overall, the 50/50 is neither a disappointment nor a masterpiece, but it is a solid low-cost choice for iPhone users who crave big bass. Arguably, the design of a typical pair of Skullcandy earphones or headphones is its main draw. I'll let you be the judge of the 50/50's cool factor, but its skull logo, which is emblazoned on each earpiece, will surely appeal to some. As should one of the six available color choices: black, white/chrome, red, blue, black/chrome, and green/white. The iPhone/iPod controls are built into the right ear's portion of the 51-inch cable, and there's a Skullcandy logo at the Y-cable junction. Included with the earphones are three sizes of silicone gel eartips and a nylon carrying case.
