Riff

The wired Skullcandy Riff On-Ear Headphones are a standout choice if you want zero-fuss, punchy audio without worrying about battery life or pairing dropouts. In an era dominated by wireless earbuds that constantly need charging, the classic 3.5mm AUX connection is a refreshing plug-and-play solution. These deliver Skullcandy's signature bass-heavy sound profile in a lightweight, ultra-portable package that folds up easily into a bag. Why They're Great Plug-and-Play Simplicity: The 3.5mm AUX jack means instant connection to laptops, gaming controllers, or legacy devices with zero latency or bluetooth pairing headaches. Punchy Sound: True to the Skullcandy brand, the audio profile features rich, powerful bass and clear vocals that make music, podcasts, and video games sound lively. Lightweight & Collapsible: The lightweight plastic construction combined with plush ear cushions ensures long-wearing comfort, while the flat-folding design makes them effortless to travel with. Built-in Mic & Controls: The inline remote and microphone allow you to take calls or pause tracks without touching your connected device. If you are looking for an affordable, reliable pair of wired headphones for daily office work, gaming, or general media, the Skullcandy Riff hits way above its weight class.

I originally bought a pair of these 7 or 8 years ago and loved that pair, then replaced it when the ear covers were worrn and the replacement was also great. Now, I bought another to replace the one that now has worn out ear covers. The sound quality is excellent and I don't worry about pairing since it is corded. The headset is lightweight and very comfortable. I use this when travelling on planes and clearly can hear music without being annoyed by other sounds. I wouldn't call it noise cancelling as much as noise buffering. It is much less and you don't focus on external noises, but you can still hear them very softly. The ear covers will wear over 3 years, but the sound quality is still great! Excellent headphones for the price.

For the price you pay, these headphones deliver a great sound with a balanced range and ample bass. By comparison, I purchased these to replace an older set of Beats Studio HD headphones and was pleasantly surprised that the Skullcandy's sounded better than the Beats. The fit is good, even with my larger knoggin' and the on-ear cushions are very soft. That lead me to one of my negatives. The fabric that encloses the earpieces is very flimsy and I can see these fraying or tearing very easily. Another drawback is the chord. It is short and it is fixed to the headphones so there is no replacing it with a longer chord. Even with the negatives, I found these headphones to be a great value for the price and am very happy with the quality of sound they put out

For the price these are excellent headphones and a worthy candidate for "daily driver." For me, these are computer/desk headphones. That is my use and that is probably how you should plan on using them as well. The cushions are very soft but the fit itself is on the firm side. Because the cushions are soft, they are nice and comfortable. Because the cushions are soft I'd be hesitant about getting too much sweat in them at the gym. They won't fall off-- that's not the issue-- but I'm guessing you don't want to get the cushions wet. Are they durable? They sit at my desk. I thought about stuffing them in a "getting too full" backpack for a flight recently and I declined to do so. If you are really going to be putting them into very full bags maybe see if you can handle a pair in the store before making a decision. On the desk? As long as you aren't yanking these things off you should be fine. Sound review? This is hard because there is so much that goes into it. I'll give it a shot. I can't talk about leakage because I'm not usually around people when these are on. There is no noise cancelling but the fit and the pads do an okay job of getting rid of a lot of background noise. These replaced some Koss Porta-Pros and some old Sol headphones as my main laptop headphones. (That's where I do most of my work.) So yes, I'm running off a laptop. No fancy power sources. They can get nice and loud and not bring in any distortion. That's good. I guess these are probably "somewhat warm" sounding headphones. I listen to some vaporwave and a lot of metal (black/thrash and such) so I think I cover the need to hear all levels and ranges of sound and don't have a need to focus on one aspect over the other but I guess the elephant in the room is always bass? It handles bass pretty well. It isn't an overly aggressive bass sound but you can hear it nicely and distinctly. There is some punch to the bass but, to be sure, it isn't at the level of beats headphones (and I like beats, but they are also a lot more money). Listening to some of the raw metal recordings, the bass is nice and it handles the distortion and rawness of metal tracks very well. So, the bass is good to the extent that the headphones generally maintain a consistent and clear sound-profile. And there is clearly more bass than more clear or neutral sounding headphones. It isn't necessarily a bass heavy headphone but it is definitely bass capable. I can make the volume louder or softer without introducing any more distortion and I don't have to listen to it loudly to "hear" the music. These are very good headphones for the price. The four stars is because the headphone market is brutal and these are four star headphones, especially for the price. They are not magic value headphones that you would/could pay +$150 for, or something like that. That is, in my mind, going in to five star territory. For the price you will probably pay for these on this site, you are getting a really great pair of daily drivers and they are easy to recommend. I'm considering getting the (a) blue-tooth version of these.

These are seriously the best on ear headphones. They are so flipping comfortable. I also like that they don’t completely surround my eat(that gets hot hot) and I can still hear(slightly) the world around me. They are light weight, love the color options and the price can’t be beat. Plus the sound gets super loud and doesn’t crack out. Tbh they break before they go bad but that’s because I use them constantly. And I keep buying them because I love the sound quality.

I absolutely love Skullcandy I remember when those first original ink's came out best quality I've ever heard and very great prices too these sound way better than beats or my $200 Samsung buds pro 2s do I still have a pair of ink's from years ago these will work and continue to work down fall is the adjustments be careful these will break if you put too much pressure on them and these will not be as comfortable as they are has amazing bass as well as treble and the immerse of the sound will have you saying wow 😲 rock on my friends and you will most definitely enjoy these and enjoy your heavy wallet after the fact 😊 thank you Skullcandy you guys rock 🤘😝

Good standard headphones but expensive for quality of sound and the earphone pads are cheap and begin to peel.

Here’s a review of Skullcandy **wired headphones** (over-ear or on-ear style), focusing on durability (lasting 3+ years), excellent sound profile, and best bang for your buck under \$20: --- I got a pair of Skullcandy wired headphones a little over three years ago, paid less than \$20, and they’re still going strong. For something so cheap, they’ve held up way better than I expected. The headband spring is still tight, the ear pads haven’t completely flattened (though they softened a bit), the hinges haven’t broken, and the cable jack still works in both ears. If you treat them right—don’t wrap the cord too tight, avoid yanking the plug, keep them clean—they can easily go beyond three years of regular use. Sound wise, they punch way above their price. The bass is warm and solid—not overpowering, but giving songs a fullness you don’t expect at this cost. Mids (vocals and guitars) are decent: you lose some polish compared to high-end models, but voices come through clear enough, even in busy tracks. The highs are honest—if not super crisp—but they add enough brightness that things don’t sound dull. They isolate reasonably well thanks to the ear pads; outside noise gets reduced a lot, so you can enjoy music or podcasts in noisy places. What makes them an excellent bang for the buck: durability + sound + price. For under \$20, you get decent build materials, components that don’t fail quickly, and a sound profile that’s fun and usable. You’re not getting luxury leather or Bluetooth, but you do get actual wired reliability, no batteries to die, and fewer parts to fail. Compared with ultra-cheap models I’ve tried, these Skullcandy headphones still sound better and last longer. If you want wired headphones that won’t break down after a few months, and still give you good sound quality without spending much, these Skullcandy wired headphones are a smart pick. Not perfect, but you get way more than you pay for.

I purchased this item to listen to music and movies off my laptop so I don’t disturb my family. Great headphones, great hearing quality, fit fantastic, I’m extremely happy with the purchase price and quality of this item. I would recommend to anyone.

Har Skullcandys modell Grind sedan tidigare. Kvaliteten på Riff är inte riktigt densamma, men är å andra sidan hopfällbar. Båda har helt ok ljud (för priset och mina behov), inbyggd mikrofon och praktisk styrknapp på baksidan av ena luren. Tacksam att alls hitta en prisvärd, trådad hörlur i denna klassen längre. Riff sitter skönt på detta huvud, men ytan mot öronen känns tunn och lär väl bli det första som uppvisar slitage även om hanterad varsamt. Beställning och frakt förlöpte smidigt, tack!

I was reluctant to buy these due to a lot of reviews saying that the plastic headband is prone to breaking. I figured I'd give them a try anyways, and if they broke, well, then those people were right. Turns out that's not the case though! I have been using these for 14 months now, DAILY, because I work from home, and they are still looking and working like brand new. I take them off and put them on easily 20-30 times a day. Sure, I've been gentle with them when taking them off/putting them on and hanging them on my desk, but I think everybody should take some care when doing that anyways. Pros: - Ear pads are SUPER soft and cushiony (also a con, read below). - Sound quality is DECENT for such a cheap pair of headphones. I'm a bit of an audiophile and will often return headphones if they don't sound good (and trust me, a lot in this price range and even more expensive don't sound great). Sure they don't sound as good as my $300 headphones, but for normal/everyday use while working, they're good enough. - They look fantastic. - The inline mic is decent (I'm able to have conference calls with it no problem and people hear me fine). Cons: - The ear pads are a bit TOO soft and compress a lot, causing some discomfort during longer listening sessions, probably due to the plastic behind them. Maybe they got worse with time, too. - They *feel* flimsy (BUT they haven't shown any signs of weakness or breakage yet). I'd definitely buy them again.

Hi, I bought this product almost a month ago and it broke. I was taking it off my head and it broke. I wanted to know if there is a warranty, since it’s only been about a month since I purchased it.

Fue una maravillosa compra 🥳🥳🥳 La combinación de colores azul, naranja y rosa es una pasada, se ven súper frescos Los audífonos son súper cómodos Respecto a la calidad del sonido es MUY BUENA, recibes lo que pagas. En esta parte de calidad - NO TE VOY A MENTIR-. El único detalle sería la diadema al subir o bajar hay un plástico que se ve frágil por lo cual hay que tener cuidado a la hora de ponerlos y ajustarlos (Muchas personas no tienen el debido cuidado y pues se rompen. Por eso es que hay múltiples comentarios que se rompen súper facil)
