Gadget Envy: Skullcandy Double Agent Headphones

4/17/08, 4:50 pm EST

What It Is: A sweet looking pair of headphones that features an SD card slot that allows you to drag and drop music files directly onto the card for loading into the unit.

Who It’s For: People who want music on the go but would rather skip carring around an MP3 player.

Why It’s Worthy: First of all, the headphones have a delightfully old-school look and feel, so they function as a throwback accessory as well as a music playing device. The speakers are dynamic and sharp, and the whole thing runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery that only demands an hour of charge time.

Our Only Complaint: The unit only comes with a 512 MB SD card, which only translates to about 120 songs (and fewer if you prefer higher-quality files). Updgrade to at least a one or two gig card.

Cost/Where to Get It: $99.95; Skullcandy (Available June 1st)

i love skull candy, they are awsome, my only prob with these is that you cant have play lists, and so you only put music on this that you always listen to. i prefer s.c. hesh and a ipod to this. but the wireles idea is rly good

I just got a pair of these and they are a novelty item, a toy really. The plastic is cheap. Like McDonalds toy plastic. The sound quality is sub par at best. Even plugged in to an ipod lowriders sound much better. I paid sale price for mine and would have returned them had they been full price. The convenience is nice. I’m sure I’ll use them but they’ll never be my primary headphones. If you’re looking for a serious pair of great quality sound, these are not for you. If you don’t give a sh*t how your music sounds, these are for you.

I am wondering if, when you get a blue tooth adapter for your iPod, it still allows you control through you iPod (like playing certain songs/playlists) or does it treat it all the music on the iPod as a giant playlist? Thanks

These were made by god and you should give your id to volcano gods for these.

They will make black ones, so for those of you ragging on the orange color you can go ahead and stop complaining.

These are the first headphones with an integrated mp3 player made by a respectable company, as far as I’m concerned, and they will probably be freakishly comfortable if S.C.’s rep has anything to say about it. On top of that, they look good, and if you disagree just wear a beanie or hat over them. That’s what they’re made for anyways, being targeted at snowboarders and all. I don’t know about you all, but I hate cords, so these will be a lifesaver.

Hey man skullcandy kicks ass,
I have the skull crushers, fmj’s, icons, hesh, and have personally tried them out at their store in park city utah(the original store!)
They’re blutooth and come with a blutooth adapter that fits into the headphone slot of your ipod or mp3 player. They have volume up/down buttons and play/pause and also rev./next buttons. plus it comes with a skullcandy leather bag, tons of stickers and come with a long ass warranty!
Buy em this summer!

People who would rather skip carrying around an mp3 player?
This must be for people who like wearing giant orange headphones that look like their from the 70’s.
They could make it look even cooler if they wore a beany with a propeller on top of it, and some of those giant plastic glasses and a foam clown nose.

Skullcandy Headphones are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen!!!

I’d sacrifice my first-born child to The God Of The Volcano to get my hands on a pair. Better?
