Skull Candy was once a reputable sound/audio tech brand that sold quality headphones, made with care and working as intended. I've been through maybe 3–4 pairs of these Jib models in 12–18 months. It's just not good enough. There is clearly a manufacturing fault with the audio-jack connecting to myriad devices, from phones to tablets to computers. The sound quality dips frequently, and sometimes the jack will cease to function and you will lose audio. I've lost my faith in Skullcandy; I'll be moving on.
