SkullCandy Headphones

Skullcandy was formed in 2003 and launched the first Skullcandy product, the Skullcandy Portable Link. The LINK system combined headphones with hands-free cellular technology, allowing users to both listen to music from a portable audio device, while making and receiving calls through their cell phone.

In December 2008 Skullcandy was named "the world's coolest ear bud," by Fortune Magazine. Skullcandy has quickly jumped to its place as the third most-sold headphone in the U.S. marketplace.

Skullcandy creates headphones that don't look anything like black leather or vinyl earpieces most companies make, or even iPod's trademark white earbuds. Instead, the striking designs draw their graphic imagery from hip-hop culture, accessorised with everything from rhinestones to faux animal skin.
