I am signed up to their newsletter so I got an email about this.
im seeing an arguement coming on. lol
neways These headsets are the bomb. They arent only just a headset, but they also have a seperate line to plug onto you TV so you can hear the game itself. It comes real handy for late night gaming, when everyones sleeping.

I'm trying to order some headphones, but it keeps on timing out.

fyi, 2 items or more get free shipping. so far i found sweatbands for 5.95. that's $2 less than shipping, not including the 20% off.

FYI, from the reviews it seems that these headsets have no mute button. Kind of a deal breaker for me. I'm one of the few considerate gamers who prefers to mute the mic when I'm talking to other people in the room, answering my phone, yelling at somebody to make me a sandwich and bring me chocolate milk (wait a second)... Anyway, thought I'd point that out ;)

Just pull the cord out?

You can always unplug it from the controller as an alternative to muting ;)

Guess I should have elaborated a bit more. I currently use the old-style 360 microphones that have the convenient mute button right at the bottom of the gamepad (within reach of your thumb). I'm flipping that thing on and off all the time, without interrupting my gameplay. Pulling the cord out would work, it's just not as convenient as what I currently use. I also like to still be able to hear what people in-game are saying when I have the mic muted (like if I'm on the phone or just briefly talking to somebody else in the room).
Another thing to note from when I was researching this, is that if you want to hear game audio through the headset, you'll have to plug a separate cord into your television or sound system (and it sounds like this cord is fairly short, so it may require an extension if you don't want to be sitting a couple feet in front of your 50" plasma).
I've been wanting a better headset for my 360 and thought this might be a good one, but I'm not entirely sure after finding out more about it. There are mixed reviews on Amazon.com about it, for anyone who cares to look them up. It definitely looks cool, though :)

You should but $28 in the title as that is much less appealing than $20

OK, sooooo ... gaming headphones + sweatband = $30.93 - (20%) $7.73 + free shipping = $23.20 for the phones with free ship and a free sweatband to boot.
Now i'm crossing my fingers i can checkout.

Ugg, I wish I had the old headset to do this. Now that it's somewhere mid chest level, I have to fight to find it to mute and unmute. Worst design idea ever.

You put the $25 headsets in, add the $1 donation = $26
$26- 20% off = $20.80 - so how are you getting $28?

THEY ARE NOT OUT OF STOCK!!! I REPEAT! THEY ARE NOT OUT OF STOCK!
They pulled the item because it was heavily targeted in such a short amount of time. Skullcandy panicked @ the price they were offering it, so their initial response was to pull the item until they figure out what the hell/why the hell so many users are jumping for THAT specific model. Check out the sold out phones, it doesn't say 'item cannot be found'

Good thing it worked out this way...with the 40% off code, I got the SGS and a Blue pair or $20 normal phones for $26 and some change out the door!! Plus free shipping for 2 or more items!!

Okay, so here's my update. I cancelled my coupon-less $25 order without any hassle (just got into a live chat and gave them my order #). At the same time, I had a pair of the phones + donation + the skullcandynation 40% code in my checkout. Ended up paying $15.59 shipped for a sweet set of Skullcandies.

Quit shooting down this deal. You're quite pessimistic on anything that fails. the 20% coupon failed, and a fellow CAG found us an even BETTER code ( skullcandynation ). Cried about shipping, and I was one of the first to remedy the shipping cost, then perfected by yet another CAG with the idea of throwing in a $1 donation.
THANK YOU, ALL YOU OPTIMISTIC CHEAP ASS GAMERS!!!

I'm not shooting down the deal, in fact I am bumping and hopefully someone can get up a code that works. You oblivious dilettante. $25 is not that great of a deal, nor is it near what is in the op's header.

Granted, we humans top out at 20-22k, but as compressed as videogame audio normally is, that slightly lower ceiling on the end of the high end ranges is moot.

I had these, some Skullcrushers, and a pair of earbuds in my cart, plus the free buds for hitting $75 at work today. Then I waffled on it, and lost all. Oh well, I guess I don't really need them.
For anyone thinking about it, the ear buds are great too, come with multiple different size covers. My wife loves them.

I decided, for $25, what the hell and went back in this morning and got the Lowrider 360s, as well as a paid of Ink'd (which have actually had pretty good reviews across the board, it seems---especially in regard to bang for buck). So, for $35, I got both. Not too bad. My expectations are not particularly high, but it'll serve some basic needs for now.
And yeah, the site seems to be completely back up this morning...still no coupons, though, *sniff*.

Going for the 25 +1 donation to get free ship. Tried to order last night w/o any codes, however it crashed and I have no idea if my order went through. Did you all who purchased get any emails afterward confirming purchase?

I ordered today and received a confirmation email to the email account i provided at checkout (my hotmail account). It was flagged as junk mail, so check there if you can't find it.
Decided to buy even without the coupons as it is always nice to have a backup headset.
