I've purchased skull candy products over the years and have always had a good experience. Lower price point with beyond average quality and power.
Recently I've been through 3 pairs of these ear buds and just haven't had any luck. The low price makes it enticing and delivers better quality than what you pay for, however the past year or so of ink'd models just don't hold up, I think because of this flat wire design.
Basically one earbud will go dead after a few months, sometimes will crackle and/or the wire at the base erratically controls your play/pause feature just by simple movement. This wasn't an issue on older ink'd models that had your traditional "tube" wires.
Overall, I'm a big fan of the quality of sound and price point, but they just don't last more than a few months. It's a bit of a tossup of being willing to suck it up and pay $20 every 3-5 months vs. paying $60-$100 and hope they aren't accidentally subjected to the bottom of a shoe or gym bag. Going to have to find a new dependable favorite.
