These just showed up last night much to my delight. First thing I noticed is that the covers that go over the speaker into your ear (rubber as well as foam) go on and off the earbuds super easy. This concerned me a little. So I popped on the foam covers (causes the rubber ones completely suck) and started rocking out to some of my favorite jams. After about 15 minutes of listening I took the ear buds out, however when I took them out the foam tips were no longer on the earbuds, but rather still stuck in my ear canal. The only way I was able to get these out of my ears was by using a pair of tweezers. Thankfully I didn’t push them any deeper into my ear canal or damage my ear by having to stick a metal object deep into my ear to pull these out.

These “WERE” my 3rd pair of earbuds from Skull Candy and I have never had this problem with any others (Smokin Buds and Titanium Buds). Though the sound quality of the Full Metal Jacket buds are good, the risk of having something stuck in my ear canal each time I take them out and possibly damaging my ear drum trying to get them out is not worth the risk. I ABOSLUTLEY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THESE TO ANYONE. Save yourself a few bucks and go for the Titanium buds.
