Review SkullCandy Icon 2

First Impression:
The SkullCandy Icon will really catches everyone eyes when you wear them - the bright colors yet compact size gives portability to the users. When i was walking around with these headphones, people saw it and gives me compliments. The wires are somewhat a bit long for portable player use, yet the wires are reinforced, so there are very little chance of it being tangled.

Another fancy attention is that the headphones include built in Mic that can be used for smartphones/MP3, so now you can jam out and be ready to answer the phone without missing a beat.


The Sound:
This headphone is an "on-ear" style, which means the sound will be a bit spread out. The sound is excellent if you  just want "music" playing in the background. A good footnote regarding this headphone is that although the speaker wont blow your ears out, the design makes the sound "spreads" to your surrounding. So, even though the volume is at a good level, the person sitting next to you have the chance to be able to hear what you are listening to.






Comfort Zone:

When i first opened the package, i was pretty much surprised by the size and shape of the SkullCandy Icon 2. It gives the impression of discomfort, but little did i know, once you have this headphone adjusted right to your head size, it is super comfortable. The SkullCandy Icon 2 gives a good grip with your head, so it wont fell off when your jumping or running (which is perfect!). The best part is that, the SkullCandy Icon 2 did not make my ears feels "hot" after a pro-long use.




My Opinions:

The compact size makes it easy for storage. Usually, an "over-head" headphones always (for me) have the problem of choking me when I simply put them around my neck, yet the SkullCandy Icon 2 did not have that problem. The built in Mic/control is a good addition to this headphone, giving me a much more complete control on the music im listening while running or doing other stuff. One more thing, The headphone came with snap-ons, where you can change the graphics on each side of the speakers

The SkullCandy Icon 2 is not that expensive, around $25 to $30. However, this pair of headphone may be the hardest one to choose since they came with a large variety of color (around 9 different styles!). I manage to purchase the white/orange one before it was out of stock. I am fairly satisfied with the purchase, in conclusion, this headphone is perfect for those who simply want music as a background sound and style
