Warranty on earbuds?

Hey Basil!
I was wondering if i should spend 10$ warranty on 50$ earbuds. These are the Skullcandy 50/50 ones.
I've always had bad experiences with earbuds them always having to break on me and I'm not sure if these warranty things are scams or if theyre actually worth it especially on earbuds.
This is at Best Buy btww! Thanksss.

Mm. For people suggesting headphones I really don't like them.
I figured Skull candy was an alright brand for the price ($20) and my friend's been using them for like 2 years and hasn't had his break on him.
I was going to buy a pair of Sony ones for $30 but they were too pricey. I have decided to not get the warranty as well.
Thanks for the insightful comments.

Spend some money on actual head gear (i.e. Bose),

I personally say no. For future reference, Skull Candy is notoriously cheap of build quality.
If you ever want a recommendation, a set of Sony ones may be a little less flashy but will last you quite a wile.

[quote=eyeholes]These are the first skullcandy earbuds I'll be getting. And isn't a 50$ pair of earbuds nice? They're on sale for 20$.
Im not sure about that. If it is I'd probs have to ship it to them and that'll cost more than 10$.[/quote]

Yeah but online you could get $50 IEMs (earbuds) that are like waaaay better than Skullcandy.

Obvsly you haven't tried actual good headphones. I wouldn't use dollar earphones even if they were free.

I wouldn't invest in a product that is prone to break. i.e skullcandy brand. I hate to say this but even apple earbuds are better than those.

[quote=mmorpg]They're breaking because skullcandy. Get a decent or good pair instead?

Also I thought skullcandy have lifetime warranty already?[/quote]
