These are the worst pair of headphone I've ever owned
Pros: Looks stylish
Cons: The overall quality
I bought these headphones thinking they looked cool and unique. That is about the only praise i have. Some many thing where bad. they overall sound quality was mediocre at best, there was next to no outside noise muffling, they couldn't get very loud for the size, they where loose and slid off everyone heads and had an extender cable they snagged on everything. with in a week they started to break. they squeaked when i walked, so loud i could hear it on high blast, the small pieces that attached the cuffs broke off so now they rattle around inside and the cuff fall off periodically. then the extender snapped off without me knowing and now my ipod wont fit in my pocket. finally they simply broke and wont make any noise. I always took care of them and never drooped or hit them, still their dead now.
So, if you want pretty looking headphone and care nothing about actually quality, these are the headphones for you. I f not then do not but the Skullcandy G.I.

If you want a decent sound, then don't bother
Pros: Looks awesome
Cons: Terrible sound.
Headphone speakers is not mounted properly (Move inside shell).
Comes with a screwdriver set that does not fit any of the screws on the phones.
Like listening to headphones thru toilet roll tubes.
Not made from a sturdy plastic.
Sound wise these are worth no more than $30 topz.

Fantastic for the price
Pros: Really good balance of lows and highs.
Cons: In line volume control placed a little too high.
The bass: really balanced with the treble. Any less and i'd say there's too little bass.
The treble: What I kind of liked about the treble is (and this may be because i'm switching from the smokin buds) not annoying at all. I can listen to the high pitched electric guitar or cymbal crashes and not feel like I'm gonna go deaf, but at the same time, I can hear them really well.
The only thing I found concernable is how the cord is way too short without the extension cable (included). It's not too long with it, but since you have an extra plug, it could get annoying, but that really isn't much of a concern at all. I would also like it if the volume control were a little lower so i don't have to strain my eyes to see it so close to my head, again no big thing.
Generally These are insanely comfortable. They're lighter than I thought and that's a really good thing, the ear "cushons" i guess you could call them, are super comfortable. The camo colored ones are more comfortable, but less sound blocking since they aren't made of leather. They also come with an extra leather pair which are comfy as well, but I'd imagine after a while they'd get hot now that it's spring, dont know yet.
The last thing I gotta rave about is the POWER. These things really pack a punch. I've heard too many complaints about people around you hearing them at a normal volume, but as far as i'm concerned, thats a good thing... And they don't just hear the screeching like (vomits a little) ipod earbuds, they actually hear the music at about a 2 foot radius depending on the volume. Anyway actually listening to these is a great pleasure. Ipod users don't listen to this part because I've never used these on an Ipod. I had to tweak with my Rio Karma's 5 band eq just a little to change from smokin buds. Im guessing the main complaint of not enough bass comes from Ipod users, but as far as I know, the bass is superb yet balanced. I noticed on some headphones that i've experienced have overdone the bass to a point where there isn't enough treble and when you try with the eq, it becomes screechy. These don't do that at all. Plus when listening to these, you feel like you want to turn them up really high, but then decide not to for the safety of your ears. I've listen to bose quiet comfort phones before, and when listening to those, it feels like if you turn the volume up any higher (which isn't very high) they'd explode or something. Just my opinion.
I'd better wrap this up. Bottom line, these things are fantastic. Even when not wearing them, putting them around your neck without listening looks really cool. I highly recommend these to any audiophile.

Great Sound, but no Bass
Pros: Better Mids and Highs than the Skullcrushers, more user-friendly, does not require a battery
Cons: FLAT BASS!! A little large and unwieldy
User Rating: 6/10
Good headphones for a low price.
Pros: Good design, with light -weight feel, and good sound.
Cons: Needs more bass. Ditch the camouflage.
If you're looking to listen to high bit-rate audio, then the GI's are not for you. If you are in need of a low cost general use pair of full size headphones (use, abuse, then loose)the SkullCandy GI is for you!
