iv never used the Shenniser CX300 but i have the skullcandy smokin bud and i like them alot. im very happy i got them.

David · 08-08-2007, 08:09 PM

both of them are gunna have the same quality... they pretty much met the limit... it just depends on the quality of your music.

anyway... try both, and see which one you think fits better.

I'd go with Skull Candy if there both the same quality mainly because the Sennheiser Site prices the CX300-B at 90 Dollars and the Skullcandys are like twenty bucks

David · 08-09-2007, 01:05 AM

yeah... get the cheaper ones... unless you're gunna get some high def heaphones... cause like I said... the quality of the phones basically reached it's limit... unless they're made for high def... and you have high def media.

Can't find official specifications, but for $9.99, they're great. I often used use these over my Skullcandy TI's when mixing (until the TI's died... via my dog, not the product itself, the quality of the product was amazing).

Remember, with Skullcandy, you get a lifetime warranty, which includes wear and tare.

ink'd buds are $10 at fye. and the sennheiser are good but i never tried them, you can occasionally get them on amazon for $40 instead of the $55 offered most the time or the $90 the company offers.

I say skull.

1ofamillion · 08-09-2007, 05:12 AM

welll u can get shenniser as low as 10-20 dollars on ebay...but ive heard the skullcandy break within 2 weeks to a month on some reviews....if i get them and they break, would i just take them back to fye?

CameleonMK · 08-09-2007, 05:18 AM

I'd rather have a lifetime warranty than a 2 year. But my guess is that you would have to send them in.

bbrocker · 08-09-2007, 11:24 AM

i say go with skull candy, they look good, sound good, inexpensive, and lifetime warrenty

jk8732 · 08-14-2007, 09:29 AM

I got my Sennheiser CX300's on ebay for under $30. Great quality, good thick cord that doesn't get the 'twisties', and good bass. I've never heard of these breaking, while I've read a lot of posts about the skullcandy having issues on reliability.

I brought my CX300's to a Bose store recently to try them head to head vs the $100 tri-ports and I thought the sound was just a good and the bass a ton better on the CX300's.

You should check ebay and get those...
