Skullcandy - Inkd Smokin Buds Earbuds Review

When I got a new iPod, I quickly discovered I needed more comfortable earbuds than the Apple earbuds that came standard with the iPod. A friend recommended Skull Candy. A local music store was able to hook me up with these earbuds. There were several different colors, not just the black pictured with this review. My brother got a rustic orange, while I chose a pretty dark red.

These Skull Candy earbuds are incredibly comfortable! I can listen to several one-hour lectures in a row, and at the end, my ears aren't aching like they would be with most earbuds.

I only have two negative things to say about them. First, they are truly noise-canceling! I love this when I am riding the city bus, but it's a little frustrating when I'm at home completely unaware that my sister is trying to talk to me. Secondly, there is a static noise whenever you bump or rub the cord. It was really annoying at first, but after a little while, I just got used to it like one would get used to their family room cuckoo clock.
