In the previous review, we saw Skullcandy absolutely nail it in the budget earphone bracket with their Smokin’ Buds Wireless variant. In this review, we will look at their offering in the budget headphone department. So far, the common belief world over was that headphones don’t come in the under $50 range. The Uproar Wireless seeks to disprove just that. At first glance, you will see that the Uproar headphones are very modestly designed, with no outer frills and thrills, with only a superior bass effect to back its claim. Mind you, if you are someone who prefers headphones with the looks and a more versatile performance bracket, you’d best look elsewhere. However, if you are one of those people looking for a pair of headphones, which just do the job without asking too many questions, then do read on.

Design –
When it comes to designing headphones, Skullcandy is one of the very best in the world. While market leaders like Beats or Sennheiser, or Bose tend to attract the more executive clientele, Skullcandy goes for the young audience, with an arsenal of headphone models which leave their customers salivating for more. The Uproar, however, is a different story. Designed with a strict budget in mind, the Uproar headphones have been designed to be more economical than anything else, so don’t really expect miracles in that aspect.
While the design may be quite simplistic, Skullcandy has tried to give it a bump up in the looks department with four catchy colour combinations – Classic Black, Orange/Navy, Red/Gray, and White/Gray. So, couple Skullcandy’s headphones design prowess with their impeccable color sense, and you end up with a pair of supra-aural headphones ( On- ear headphones ), which look stylish, but shy away from being Luxurious all the same.
The earpads on the Uproar headphones are perforated and are quite comfortable to use. The head strap, however, can seem a bit hard on the scalp as the cushioning on the same has been toned down to a nearly nonexistent level. All in all, the Skullcandy Uproar comes with stylish looks, appealing looks, and a secure, lightweight fit, so even if you adjust the strap height to ease up the pressure on your scalp, the headphones will not fall off.
