Known for cheap earbuds, Skullcandy ups its game by building an engineering team for sound, hiring Paul Budnitz (Kidrobot) for aesthetics and nabbing Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys) for quality control. The Mix Master headphones have interchangeable coil cables and a microphone and, most importantly, no longer hang in clamshell packaging in the cheap aisle at Future Shop.
