I see the Skullcandy Dub earbud at target the other day on sale for $ 5 . I be originally plan on get the Ink would -lrb- which I have use before and like -rrb- as a temporary replacement pair for a much higher end pair that have lose sound in one ear , but they be $ 16 and , accord to the sale clerk , the Dubs be better . so it be a no-brainer . I buy two pair of the Dubs . I wish I have not . now I would much rather pay the extra $ 5 for just one pair of Ink ` ds . here why : the dub be muddy . they have lot of bass . too much of it , actually . it make my ear hurt . and it really drown out the mid , which sort of halfheartedly linger in the background . the high be also quite muddy , except for the occasional `` s '' , which produce a harsh sibilance that rattle you spine . there be almost no sound separation , and drum sound like they be come out of the next room . however , for $ 5 I really can not complain . but if you be pay any more than that I would not recommend buy this pair . instead , go for the Ink 'd , which have a much more balanced sound .
