First off . I pay 33 dollar with 2 day shipping . 2 month ago I pay around 65 dollar for Skullcandy Skullcrushers . they last about 3 week . when I first get these hd202 's the first thing I notice be the long cord . it really be not that bad because they give you a thing to wrap it around with a clip on it . what really amaze I be how good these thing sound for 30 $ alot better than the Skullcrushers . obviously , the bass be not as `` loud '' or do not `` vibrate '' as much , but the hd202 's have a good amount of bass . it be kinda `` muddy '' but not bad . pro : volume not much Distortion Long cord bang for buck sound clearity con : loose on head cheap design small ear cups\/pads do not cover whole ear basically , you can not go wrong with these headphone for around 30 dollar . I hear such good thing about these , I do not want to buy another pair of different can that be more expensive because I do not want the hd202 's to still sound better .
