Skullcandy Riff 2chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Comfortable and lightweight for extended wear. Multiple users describe the Riff 2 as extremely comfortable, even preferable to over-ear designs, and compatible with glasses without pain. People report wearing them at the gym, during workouts, or falling asleep in them nightly. A few disagree, noting soreness after an hour or pressure on the ear, and one mentions head pain from hard plastic at the top after 20 minutes, suggesting comfort varies by head shape.

Sound quality punches above its price point. Many buyers say the sound is surprisingly good, with strong or even excessive bass and clear mids and treble, comparing favorably to pricier headphones like Beats. Some tweak the EQ for better results. However, a handful call the sound muddy, with dynamics squished together, and note bass can feel heavy or not punchy enough, showing inconsistent listening experiences across units or use cases.

Durability is the most divisive aspect. Numerous commenters report the headband or hinge snapping within days to months, and earpads falling off and being difficult or impossible to reattach. Yet other long-term owners report two to three years of daily use with no issues at all. Buttons are also described as stiff and hard to press accurately, adding to build-quality complaints despite the otherwise decent audio performance.
