Skullcandy Method wired earphones - Worst sounding earphones I've ever tried

Earphones under the sub Rs.2000 segment sell like hot donuts in India, and it is crucial to pick the right earphones in a plethora of headsets in the market. One such earphone under Rs. 2000 is the Skullcandy Method, which is wired but also has a wireless version that sells for around Rs. 4200. 


Sound Quality:

As a beginner audiophile, I expected better sound quality from an earphone that costs Rs. 2000 but the sound quality in these is "AWFUL."  The mids are not good, highs are average at best, and I don't want to talk about the lows because they are so bad for an earphone which costs this much. I usually listen to Rock and Electronic music, and they sounded Terrible. The bass overpowers the vocals sometimes which bassheads might like, but I didn't. The earphones are loud enough to be used in daily commutes.

Rating: 2/5

Build Quality:

They're made of "Cheap Plastic." The plastic between the body of the earphone and the wire broke into two halves with moderate usage. The cable is also made of plastic, which questions the longevity of the earphones. However, when I contacted the team, they sent me a replacement in no time, so kudos for that. But, it's sad to know that you're paying so much and you're getting a terrible build quality.

Rating: 2/5

Customer Support: 10/10

Verdict:

Do not waste your money unless you have a lot to spend. There are better earphones that can be bought for under 2k. The Sennheiser CX275s sounds absolutely gorgeous and costs just below Rs. 1700. There are a couple of great Audio Technica earphones as well, which will surely give you the perfect music listening experience.

Overall Rating: 2/5
