Hey guys, recently i wanted to buy a new headphone for pc/mobile.and i heard these two companies are really competitive, and they both produce really good sound quality and bass.I know most of the people would suggest to buy Beats, but its just that i really don't want fancy and over-priced headphones that is just for looks.
I've got to be brutally honest. You need to **LISTEN** to the headphones you are interested in. JBL is not known for their headphones - just just have someone slap their logo on some Chinese junk. Skullcandy has actually improved when they realized that there is more to headphones than trendy looks... and they got wind of the bad comments people were making about their products. They actually do have a couple decent headphones, but the ones you are considering are just headphones with vibrators in them along with the speakers. Not exactly high fidelity here. Remember this - price does not relate to quality when it comes to headphones. If you remember just one thing - remember this! Next thing to remember is that you really should listen to headphones, not just go by someone elses review of the headphones. Third thing, smart people ignore Beats and Bose and any other trendy for the ignorant crowd. If you want to impress ignorant people - these are the brands to buy. if you want to impress intelligent people, buy truly good headphones.
NEITHER of those are good, sorry. If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as BW, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY okay-ish indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced fashion blingbling gimmicks with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT! Again, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.
