(mostly) Just the facts
By e.
Originally I was looking for a good deal of sort of wireless headphone to work with a non-bluetooth MP3 player, and wasn’t capable to find anything without an adapter that was in general larger than the player itself. I had been checking these out as a potential solution, but could not find any reviews that weren’t straight from the companies description of the product, to aid me decide. My BF solved my indecision and just purchased them for me.
Personally, I love them, but I may see a lot of things other people may not like. Here’s just the facts.
1.Wireless and in truth light.
2.The sound is not Connoisseur quality. If you are used to cheap earbuds like me, then they are fine, if you favor a robust pair of Sennheisers, I wouldn’t peril it. Low and bassy, but the highs are muffled.
3.Headset is tight, which though good for me, may not be good for people with more prominent heads or who are more sensible to exuberant pressure on their ears. The good side is they don’t fall off for the duration of anything, jogging, gym, working on projects, random frolicking in your house, etc.
4.I dig the oddball color combinations, but other humans may find them too flashy. There is an all-black one however.
5.Interface is exclusively no frills. play/pause, volume, and next. You may put your music on it in folders, but not actually jump from folder to folder. (or at least the instructions don’t tell say you can.)Again, plus for me, waste less time preparing my music and spend more time in truth hitting the gym, but could be a minus for many.
5. No shuffle feature. I never use shuffle. (going from classical to house to black metal in 10 minutes makes me neurotic..)
6. Hour long charge gets you with regards to 8 hours of play. charge thru USB.(joy!)
7. You may very distinctly listen button clicks while wearing them. Not so good if you want to go 50 songs forward.
8. Comes with a cord to plug into an mp3 player if needed.
9. Interface and charge are totally USB plug and play.
10.Comes with 1 GIG SD.
11. Buttons are easy to reach and press, but the symbols are not very raised. May take a few trys to get the right button before you get applied to it.
Basically, if you just need a no-frills wireless solution for an active lifestyle, these fit the bill. What I imagine to be the huge issues for most persons are the sound quality and the tightness. Although I am very pleased with them, I would advise most people to undertake them on and listen to them original if you can.

Not worth it…
By G. Argov
I had been looking for wireless headphones for a lot of time now…I was convinced I’d get a Bluetooth headphone set, so that I could wirelessly play music from my music phone (LG Dare), but I decisive versus it after reading bad reviews on Amazon that said the Bluetooth set in question often lost connections, etc. So I decisive to get the Skullcandy Double Agent headphones instead, in order to meet the wireless features without worrying in regards to lost connections.
The Double Agents look cool enough…I genuinely like Skullcandy for putting effort into designing their products. The two things regarding these headphones that I didn’t like were ease and the use of the SD card. The sound, on the other hand, is subpar when equated to other Skullcandy headphones, but reasonable. I’ll explain below:
COMFORT
Maybe I’m spoiled because I got a pair of Skullcandy Skullcrushers in the same order as these, but the Double Agents were not almost as comfortable as the Skullcrushers. They were tight on my head, and it felt as if the earcups were not fitted correctly (I put on L on my Left and R on my Right, but still felt like something was off…). Not painfully uncomfortable, but not as comfortable as other Skullcandy headphones out there either
SD CARD
A brilliant idea on the portion of Skullcandy, the fact that you are wireless since you listen to music off of an SD card may become an inconvenience when you realize there is no ‘Shuffle’ feature. You WILL get tired of listening to songs in the same order in which you transposed them to your card!
SOUND QUALITY
The quality is sub-par, in particular when equated to my Skullcandy Skullcrushers! There is bass, but it’s not too strong, and being a huge fan of bass I’m not too thrilled with that 
Either way, I knew I was buying these more for the comfortableness of being wireless than for amazing sound, so I’m not too upset…
FINAL THOUGHTS
The fact that these headphones aren’t the most comfortable in the world, combined with the lack of a shuffle feature may make the Double Agents frustrating. The sound quality, while not up to par with other headphones, is pretty decent taking into account you’re listening off an SD card that frees you from wires (FYI, you may listen to them wired, but that defeats the intention of wireless headphones!). The battery life is pretty decent (about 8 hours a charge), which means you may take these on the go, only thing that would have made them more utile is if they could bend or fold up.
All in all, these seem like a outstanding concept, but it’s almost as if they were rushed out. No shuffle, no foldable design, for a pair of headphones in this day and age makes me wonder how much harder it would have been to include those features! Nevertheless, I don’t regret my purchase, so while I can’t wholeheartedly endorse, I may say they’re not bad if you don’t mind the aforementioned inconveniences.
If you’re looking to sport a new pair of headphones, I’d commend the Skullcrushers rather Skullcandy SCS-SCBP3.5 Skullcrushers Subwoofer Stereo Headphones (Black Pinstripe). The Double Agents aren’t bad, but they’re not that great, either. If you’re looking for authenti wireless headphones, though, they are gorgeous good for the price.

Great for it’s intended purpose
By Dan H
I like the Skullcandy “Double Agent” for the same reason that I like the iPod shuffle: Simplicity. I may navigate through songs with the tap of my finger, and without fumbling around with the device in my hands and looking at a screen.
That’s where the correspondings end though. Granted, there are other headphones out there with built-in MP3 players as well, but I believe Skullcandy is the original to fetch us this conception in conjunction with ease and quality. These things feel great. The sound quality leaves a little bit to be desired, but it’s still very good for most types of music.
There is ONE oddity in regards to this product that took me a few days to figure out: Once an SD card loaded with songs is inserted into the earcup, what order are they played in? This confused me for a little bit. First of all, there is no “Shuffle” button (which is primarily why I took off a star). This is a feature that a good deal of ipod-shuffle-lovers would have appreciated, and it shouldn’t have been hard to implement. But they didn’t do it. So, do the songs just play in alphabetical order then? Nope, not that either. Not by songs, artists, albums, or anything… no alphabetization. This had me stumped for a while, until one day when I was loading further and added songs, and I figured out that tracks plainly play in the order that they are added. That’s it. If you load a new song, it will be the last track that plays, and the songs will play in the same order one after another until the whole list repeats itself. Interesting to say the least.
Overall I commend this to people who want a quick, on-the-go music solution that they may speedily slap on their head without fumbling with wires. They feel great, sound great, and with SD cards, you don’t have to fool around with any type of proprietary drivers or software.
