I got these for my boyfriend a while back. Everyone has their thing, and his happens to be Skullcandy headphones. Before these, he had a pair of Titans but he really wanted a pair of FMJs because he'd been hearing good things. When he tried them out he was really happy with them. They're really nice quality, the sound is great, and he was ecstatic to hear they had inline mic because he likes it a lot better than using a bluetooth earpiece.
(word of warning about inline mic: you look like a crazy fool talking with ear buds instead of an earpiece. It REALLY looks like you're talking to yourself.)...

These are great headphones. All metal construction! No plastic here. I broke my original iphone headphones by leaving them on the floor and stepping on them. I was very excited to get these from reading the reviews, but since getting them I've realized an annoying but pestering problem. Maybe it's because they are large 11mm drivers, but the driver/speaker cones inside are VERY sensitive to pressure - specifically ear suction and habitually become inversed causing degraded volume and muffled quality.
I noticed within the first day that the left ear (with the mic and buttons) was significantly lower volume than the right and the bass was severely lacking as well. I originally though it had something to do with the mic and buttons being on the left - maybe the extra circuitry decreased the signal? But the difference was like night and day and it bothered me to no end. After all, these are supposed to be like $70 headphones!
After searching forums, it turns out the problem was air/ear pressure. The rubbery noise-isolating pads that help create a nice seal inside your ear canal to block out noises also had a strange side effect - it created a suction vacuum whenever you pull the headphones out of your ear. Basically every time you pulled the headphones out, the suction would invert the driver cones. Once inverted, the cones had a significant loss of fidelity as they just don't vibrate and produce sound like they were designed to. The result was a significant loss of volume and bass performance. The earbuds end up sounding muffled and dead. The only way to fix this was to physically blow into the buds to push the cones back into their original shape. You can actually hear cones "snap/crinkle" back into position.
Normally this would just be a small annoyance, but the problem is so persistent and I have to do this every time I take my headphones off. Imagine having to blow into your headphones every time you take them off to say something to someone or to listen to something. You can also remove your headphones VERY slowly and carefully every time you take them off. Especially since these are top rated expensive headphones, I shouldn't have to do this! The problem is more prevalent in the left ear for some reason but I've tested both sides and they are equally prone to this problem. Many others on the Skullcandy forums and Amazon reviews have expressed the same problem and came to no solution. Strangely, it was almost always in the left ear. I guess I was lucky to figure out the root of the problem. It seems to me that the 11m drivers are too large for their own good or the material used to make them is too soft and are very prone to inverting. This is a serious design flaw that Skullcandy needs to address....

I would like to start this review off by saying I do not own an iPhone or any kind of smart phone so if you're looking for a review involving mic quality, this isn't it. (Although one of my friend tried out these headphones on his iPhone and he had absolutely no qualms about them)
Sound Quality - These headphone rank up there with some of the best headphones I've tried as far as noise-cancellation is concerned, although I do have one complaint: the bass on these headphones is not quite up there with those other headphones I've tried (Dre Beats, Bose), although for this price I can't complain all too much. 4/5
Comfort - These headphone are, as advertised, fully made out of metal, so I didn't know how comfortable the headphones would be. I was very surprised when I first tried them as I couldn't feel them at all after a couple songs. However, they do get pretty cold in the winter, but what else can you expect. 5/5
Construction Quality - These headphones seem very sturdy for how long I've had them. The wire is fully encased in metal and then wrapped in plastic so the wire should stand up for quite a while. I have heard from other reviews about the jack itself being fragile, but I have had no problem and I've had this headphones a little over 3 months now. Skullcandy's website also offers a free lifetime warranty on these headphones so that's also a major positive. 5/5
Synopsis - If you're looking for quality headphones with a lifetime warranty for a pretty good price, look no further than a pair of FMJs from Skullcandy....
