Skullcandy Bluetooth Headset: Grind vs. Uproar?

[The_German]

As the title suggests I am having a tough time deciding.

From what I can tell the Uproar for 59$ CDN is a steal but I am on the fence if I should just get the Grind for a few bucks more if there is a difference in quality etc.

Thanks guys for taking the time letting me know your thoughts!

If you want to look cool any of them will be fine, however if you want reference level reproduction then Sennheiser are the boys. I *LOVE* my HD25s

Hey Olas I am worried about breaking them this may go into a laptop bag so I like something inexpensive.

I will take your advice if I really like it and find funds to spend a bit more.

I am just LOVING how mainstream Bluetooth got. The future is now finally lol!

Sorry I think I may take your advice Olas they are really reasonably priced!

Note it is in CDN funds but I consider 180$ cdn very reasonable for something much better thanks man!

Build quality or sound quality?

You will be seriously impressed with the sound, the isolation, the comfort and the build quality. I've had two pairs over the last 10ish years, the first pair lasted 7 years before somebody 'borrowed' them and I didn't even consider anything else before I replaced them.

Haven't heard a good skull yet or a fair one even! I don't know about BT phones; This sentence is more for desktop WS at home or work guys wanting superb fidelity at a low, low price. Time McGraw on ear cans are actually the superbly excellent open AKG K520. I cant imagine a more lithe, revealing musical phone under 200 bucks or 300. I liked 'em MUCH better than my K702, though those want before they had 200 hours on them. Only prob with the Tim McGraw is the headband is prone to breakage. To much regrind in the plastic I suppose.

As They are old models, they go for a NOS price of around 30 bucks!

Here are the AKG 520 not sold in the US of A last I looked ( which was NOT today

I am going to keep track of audiophile stuff more on this site.

I got the cheap Uproar because I need the bluetooth for moving around while I work and they will most likely get broken or lost.

I hate taking the headphones off and on when I am getting stuff from a printer etc.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

My music files are so bad they were old rips. Popping on some old beloved tracks and the CD long gone.

I guess I would have to move up on that too at one point!

There is some great music coming out that I really like.

I am Human and You Don't Get Me High Anymore are two I'd like to mention!

I'm still stuck in the 90's I guess, 99.9 The Buzz listener here.
