Skullcandy Partners With D&G to Bring Designer Style to Your Ears

Kristy Korcz — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 05:16:00 PDT

If you prefer stylish all-ear coverage over tiny earbuds for your tunes, then get a load of these designer Dolce & Gabbana Skullcandy headphones. First shown off during Milan's Winter Fashion Week, the headphones may be endorsed by the house of D&G, but each pair still has that edgy Skullcandy flare. The one you see here is the colorful GI Gridlock model ($90) and is the perfect accessory to brighten up your dreary Winter days.

Good news is if you do grab up a pair for the Winter, they could double as ear muffs and keep your head warm in the chilly temps. Just an idea. Prices range from $50 to $195. Get a closer look at the collection in the gallery.

Reese Witherspoon Rocks to the Beat of Skullcandy

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 01:47:43 PDT

Reese Witherspoon took a break on the set of This Means War yesterday, and between wardrobe changes she donned some seriously stylish Skullcandy headphones. Skullcandy is known for its amazing quality, which includes deep bass and crisp highs, so it's no wonder the pint-sized star chose these over-the-ear cans that keep her music flowing.

Reese is sporting the G.I. model in last season's colors, but I'm pretty partial to the G.I. Gridlock ($70) set seen here, not only for its soft-touch leather ear pillows (that don't leave you feeling like your noggin is in a vise), but also for its perfectly geeky pixel motif. What can I say? I'm a sucker for pixels.

Rock Out With These Colorful Skullcandy Smokin Buds

GeekSugar — Mon, 10 May 2010 07:30:46 PDT

After I included a pair of these Skullcandy Smokin Buds in a recent Mother's Day gift guide, I fell in love with them myself! They are affordable - starting at $23 - and come in a range of hot color combos, from my favorite orange and white, to a bright and cheerful pink, blue, and yellow. They even give off a retro-vibe, similar to the new Sony Qlasp earphones we saw last week, and are a nice alternative if you don't have a lot of dough.

Skullcandy is known for its funky and affordable, yet high-quality products; and the Smokin Buds are no exception. Take a look at some of my favorite color combos in the gallery below - it's tough to choose a favorite!

Listen to Music and Make Phone Calls While You Ski

GeekSugar — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 10:30:51 PST

I'm not a skier, but most of my friends are, and I'm consistently jealous of all of the awesome geeky ski and snowboard equipment they have. I got a chance to try out the Radiance jacket, which keeps you warm and charges your iPod, but when my friend sent me a snapshot of his latest purchase, I had a total geek-out at my desk. It's a ski helmet outfitted with Skullcandy headphones and Bluetooth.

Now he'll be able to listen to music and answer the phone while hitting the slopes. To be honest, I think this is only a good idea if you're a fairly capable and focused skier (after all, some of us can't even walk and talk on the phone without an accident), but it's a pretty cool way to stay connected and entertained.

If, like me, you're more of a lodge-dweller than a ski bunny, check out these adorable knit headphone earmuffs.

Skullcandy Brings the Noise With the Pipe iPod Speaker Dock

GeekSugar — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:44:34 PST

When I first saw the Skullcandy iPod Speaker Dock ($70) at Target, I questioned how good the quality could be from something so compact. But after testing it out myself, I take back all the doubt I had previously cast upon it.

Coming with a battery-powered remote and charging cable, the Skullcandy Pipe is perfect for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or even the living room if you're looking for a full sound in a smaller space. I had this playing at a recent family holiday party, and it provided the perfect amount of background music to keep the party going into the night. The remote gets great range, and just four AAA batteries seem to last quite awhile if you aren't using the included charging cable. To see what else I thought about the Skullcandy Pipe, just

read more. Although the sound is crisp and clear from the two end speakers, you can't blast your tunes without hearing some groggy bass. This is unfortunate, but that's not to say this baby doesn't get loud - it does! Also, I would have liked to have tested out the Pipe with my iPhone (which houses a ton of my music), but when I plugged my iPhone in, I got an error message saying that the iPhone wasn't compatible with the unit - although a friend has one and she says it works with her iPhone! Overall, the Skullcandy Pipe is a great portable device that pumps out some pretty great sounds, and works with any generation iPod. I do wish the price point was a little lower (say around $50), but it's a great product nonetheless. Lesson learned: never judge a book by its cover, or an iPod dock by its size!

Brought to you by Skullcandy (the same makers behind the popular hesh headphones), their new 2XL collection includes these 4 Corners headphones ($20) that are not only inexpensive, retro and hip, but they actually have good audio-output quality.

Currently out of stock (hmm, I wonder why?!), you can find these headphones in seven different color patterns.

Skullcandy Wooden Earbuds: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:42:52 PST

I've seen a lot of wooden gadgets, and I've seen a lot of Skullcandy stuff; now it appears they have met, dated, and had a baby. I give you: Skullcandy's Wooden Earbuds ($99).

The woodgrain on these make you look like an earth-crunchy eco-fiend - and are probably the cleanest design on a Skullcandy product that I've seen. You don't have to worry about hurting your ear canal with wood, either - there are rubber pads, of course.

What do you think of these? Taking the wood tech thing too far, or right on trend?
