Skullcandy Asym Earbud Headphone
Skullcandy knows that you aren’t perfect, so they made the Asym Earbud Headphones imperfect to match you…perfectly. Instead of using identical, one-design-fits-all buds, Skullcandy tailored these action-sport-ready ‘phones to fit over your right and left ears. There are other companies doing the same thing. But of those companies, none uses 13mm neodymium drivers, houses the cord in braided aluminum or gives you three sizes of gel tips to fit your ears like Skullcandy. And not one of them has the same background degree in damn awesome that Skullcandy does. Except us, of course, but we don’t make headphones.
Bottom Line: Your ears suck. Improve them.

These are sweet ear buds. They sound great, fit in your ear well and you can wear them under your helmet.
Meh.

I tried these out side by side with the 11mm FMJs, the 10mm Nixon wires and the 8mm Nixon wires.
Out of the four sets of buds, these had the least feedback from the cord moving around, and I liked the fit of these the best. They're designed to have the cord go over your ear. They look lame but fit nicely.
The cord doesn't have the same coating as the FMJs, it's more pliable and better in my opinion. These boast a 13mm driver, but the sound isn't as clear as the FMJs. The lows aren't anywhere as good as the FMJs, the mids are really muddy, and the highs are forgettable.
Out of the four the asym's are the only ones I even considered keeping. If you've got medium-low standards for headphones and don't mind the dorky fit, they might work for you. Otherwise, save up for something better.
Finally somone solves the problem!

It took as little as 5 minutes for me to never want to take off my asyms!
The buds that come with the iphone/ipod hurt my ears really bad. Skullcandy in general are nice since you can customize the in-ear cushion, but most buds will hurt my ears, or they wont stay in for 5 minutes. Try biking, running, or doing any activity that requires you to move and buds will not stay in.
I once had a pair of headphones that clipped over the ear and that would a great idea, they stayed put, but again would hurt behind and inside the ear. Finally, the simplest design that allows you to utilize the cable as the over ear clip and the fit on the bud itself is incredible!
The volume controls is tough and will not move at the slightest touch. This is good for me since I run the cable under my shirt often.
The iphone model is stellar and a quality mic for sure. In fact I have the ipod touch and found an app that will allow me to make calls on it with the mic so double bonus for me!
Cable is transparent but braided underneath and looks super sturdy.
Get your last pair of headphones with these guys. They look a little different, but you wont look like a dinkus that cannot keep his ear buds in while charging up a mountain, or down it again.
Change me.
