Ink adds permanence. It forces the visual representation of an idea, concept, ideal or experience, and tangibly commemorates it. Like a tattoo, graffiti, or stretch marks. Until you’re really ready to commit, go with the INK’D ear buds. Big sound, little price, no visible scarring.

Skullcandy’s INK’d earbuds make a great–not to mention affordable–choice for those looking for a no-frills set of earbuds, offering style and performance that’s a perfect match with modern mobile devices.

Earbud Isolation

The INK’d in-ear bud allows for passive noise isolation, and includes three separate sizes of silicone gel earbud sleeves, so you can get a perfect, comfortable fit for your ears.

Solid Performance

Skullcandy squeezed an 11mm driver into these earbuds, which, when coupled with a neodymium magnet, delivers serious full-range sound, with a hefty low end, and a wide frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz.

A 1.3-meter cable gives you plenty of slack for whatever you’re doing while listening, and the corrosion-resistant, gold-plated 3.5mm plug makes for a solid connection.

Retired My JVC Gumies For These5
Firstly, I want to mention a few important tidbits that I think you should know.
1. Pay attention to the L and R on these earbuds, which can be hard to see. Do not reverse them, as doing so can affect fit and sound quality.
2. Don’t assume you know which gel size will fit you best; make sure you try on all 3 gel sizes that come with these, as using the wrong size can dramatically decrease sound quality and comfort. For myself, I automatically went with the smallest size because my ears are small, but those made the earbuds sound like cheap garbage. It wasn’t until I tried the next size up did I get the full quality of sound that these are designed for. So pay attention to this, since it really matters.
3. These have a straight plug, not an L-shaped plug. So you will need to be extra careful as a straight-plug design increases the amount of pressure both on the plug, and the headphone jack of your player. This leads to frayed wires or a loosening of the headphone jack, or both . . . which ultimately lead to the classic problem of only one side having sound.
4. The cord is long – measures approximately 4 feet, 5 inches.
5. Burn-in works with these. Slightly.
Now, as for the build quality – I’m impressed. They are not cheaply made ear-buds, despite their low price. The wires are nice and solid, and feel very well made – not flimsy or plastic-y. The silicone gels (tips that go in your ear) are very soft and pliable, and even have the Skullcandy logo engraved on them. Nice touch.
They feel good, too. Really good. Both the material, and the way they fit my annoyingly small ears. And they don’t fall out constantly, although I do sometimes get the sensation that it’s . . . I dunno, getting sucked into my left ear. Hard to explain.
And yes, these come with 3 different size gels.
Sound is great. These handle bass extremely well for mid-tier earbuds, and highs aren’t so shrill and piercing as with other comparable brands. Some of this really depends on your player, too. Even between iPods, sound quality does differ.
As far as functionality goes, I find I am able to run with these with no problem. The wires do not get tangled, and you can easily adjust the split in them with an attached slider (that has ‘Skullcandy’ written on it in the corresponding colour), which I find very convenient. I do not hear this thumping sound that others claim to hear from wire-movement, so I can’t confirm that.
The only things I dislike are the straight plug, and the lack of a case. Otherwise, I am thoroughly impressed with Skullcandy. The craftsmanship, the quality of sound, and all the little extras that Skullcandy does that really lets you know that they are paying attention, and that they care about their products and end-users.
Worth every penny.

Great for the price5
Purchased the headphones about a week ago and I’m very pleased. I previously had the JVC Marshmallows and loved those headphones, but one of the earbud sleeves came off and the new JVC’s are designed differently so I decided to give these a try. They produce very clear sound with solid bass. I was also surprised by the fit on the silicon caps that come with these. I have a difficult time finding silicon caps that will stay in my ear so I usually stick to foam, but these headphones came with three different sizes of caps and the smallest size fits and stays in without a problem. I will also say that I bought the Comply Foam Tips recently and am currently using those on these headphones (since I already had them) but once these wear out then I will stick with the silicon tips that came with these headphones because they will probably last longer. All in all, great purchase!
