Customer Review: SERIES 1!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
Bass frequencies are ridiculous!
Nifty little carrying pouch thing.
Different size ear inserts (which are really handy!)
Stickers.
Cons:
SERIES 1 (read below to see why this is bad)
Alright. When I bought these, I thought "Ooh, sweet deal! $23 for a pair of FMJs." I even paid for express shipping. I thought I was getting the best of the best. I thought I was getting the most current earbuds too. I thought since they were new, they would be BRAND NEW. Well, guess what? They weren't. Currently, the SC-FMJ series 2 are the most current. THESE ARE SERIES 1! There are multiple problems with the series 1s that it seems people have just been a little touch and go on. I am going to tell you everything you need to know about them.
Differences between the series 1 and the series 2:
Actual Speaker Size
The series 1 has a speaker size of 9mm, while the series 2 has a speaker size of 11mm, giving a overall better sound.
Frequency Range (VERY IMPORTANT)
The frequency range of the series 1 is only 18Hz to 20kHz. The series 2 can go 2Hz lower than that. This gives an overall fuller sound.
Overall sound balance problems (BIG PROBLEM)
The series 2 FMJs sound nothing like the series 1. With the series 1, there is a weird balance between bass and highs. Mids are fine. Bass is WAY overbearing the highs. I enjoy having nice, crisp sound, when instead I am getting horrible bass clipping (not due to any EQ; turned off and it still did it).
No foam inserts
Now this isn't a problem with me, considering I still have some of my foam inserts from when I bought my TiTaNs, but some people might want these, and the series 1 does not come with them.
Actual wire
In the series 2 FMJs, you can see that the wire for them is a special type of aluminum foil, reducing noise generated by the cable. The series 1 has those cheap rubber cables, causing a loud noise if you move the cable much.
So why am I telling you all of this? So that you will know. Just go on Skullcandy's website and look yourself. Prove to yourself that these are not the best. I would highly recommend you wait to buy these until you can verify that you can get series 2 earbuds at this price. But if you really want them, they are not too horrible. They are sure as heck better than any INK'D or Smokin' Buds offered by the same company.
