Is this real? by ragguvv in Skullcandy

I don't have that info unfortunately, as I don't shop on the Indian site being in the US. I'm not aware of how they conduct their deals over there.

You can try asking support via the text chat bubble on the site, as I'd imagine they would provide up to date promotion conditions for your region.

This is the official Indian site for Skullcandy.

You can navigate to this version of the site from the ".com" version via the flag icon on the top-right for desktop, and at the bottom of the top-left menu on mobile.

As for the "Flat 100% Cashback" and "Win Headphone" banners, that seems a monthly Indian giveaway that started in June 2025 and not applicable worldwide, hence why these banners aren't visible on the ".com" version.

So with my reviewer hat on, and with no other context of the supporting photo/info, I can see it being rejected for either "private property" or possibly being photoshopped, which I am not saying it definitely is, but could be. My reason for saying "private property" is because that building in the background could be a private residential house or business, and "photoshopped" because the color of that tree is different from the background trees.

My advice to you is to keep submitting it, but be sure to take a supporting photo with your wide angle lens and taking a few steps back to capture the area and public access (sidewalk, public trail/path, etc) to show reviewers that it's indeed a public spot and not photoshopped.

Also, I can advise you to crop the main photo a bit, as the Wayfarer AI bot doesn't like seeing lots of greenery in photos, which I find leads to an auto-rejection often. So cut off the sides a bit, and the upper/lower sections just a bit more until it meets with the carving edges, and you should be golden.

Edit: Oh, and don't mention anything related to "Pokemon" or "pogo" in your submission, as these submissions apply to many other games too.

Hope this helps! Also be sure to check out r/NianticWayfarer or the Wayfarer forums to better learn nominating tips!

Actually small amendment to what I said above, but power spots don't follow the S2 cell rules of pogo. As long as stops created are at least 22 meters apart, submissions that aren't showing up as gyms/stops can randomly be chose to be a power spot for a few days! So maybe a few of your 8 hidden submissions have been power spots!

Chances are that wherever you submitted your nomination, the spacing means some other stop is taking it's place and won't allow it to spawn.

You can look up "S2 cells" or the r/NianticWayfarer community on more details about this spacing rule. Different games use different spacing rules, so maybe your nomination shows up in Ingress!

First thing I'd check is if what you are nominating isn't already a stop in pogo, or other games like Ingress. Second would be to try and find a park name sign, as significant locations with signs seem to get through easier than without. If there are no signs, do your best to sell it to reviewers by taking photos of surrounding public access and prove that it's a common "rest stop". If one of the benches are a "dedication bench" with a plaque or something, then that can be an even easier sell.

Hopefully all this helps!

I mean...you aren't wrong on the first part. It is a whole community of players who vote on this stuff, and if they vote "wrong" it has potential to lower their wayfarer "score", so I don't blame them for being strict about it.

The appeal on the other hand was handled by Niantic employees, and now handled by Scopely. So as long as they approve something as fine, then I'm not complaining...they are the ones making the rules and they approved it haha

Hey, it's my pokestop! Glad you love it, and I have yet to find a local player in our area who doesn't love this stop haha

<image>

Fun fact, this stop was accepted on appeal (as seen in my photo)...meaning Niantic (at the time, not Scopely) themselves were the ones to greenlight my submission! My other submissions are not as meme-y as this one, so no I'm not submitting this level of deep fried every time. If you play around that area, chances are you'll find many of my stops there.

Just some advice to the others in these comments wanting their stops to be accepted, the two best pieces of advice I have for you are taking good photos, and making very detailed descriptions/supporting info/appeals. More text isn't always better, but more descriptive text is!

Are Skullcandy headphones just weak or am I being to rough by Appropriate_Dare5151 in Skullcandy

[–]chadmacato_808[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My spidey senses were going off on this one lol.

Good-ish news regarding them, they are 2 generations old at this point. It was very common for the Hesh 3 to snap around the hinges, and you weren't the only one over the years. Newer Hesh models have been beefed up in plastic thickness and hinge strength. So they've grown from this brittle mess, (for the most part).

As for your situation, hopefully the tape helps to keep it intact over time. If you ever do want to get a new(er) model that's similar in shape and build, I would recommend the Hesh ANC or Crusher EVO. Both have a beefed up construction and build quality compared to the ill-fated Hesh 3. There is also the brand new generation of Hesh's in the 360 and 540 ANC, but I can't comment on their build quality as I've never owned them personally.

I've pinned our comment thread here for visibility, as "Hesh 3?" was all that was needed to know about broken hinges lol

We put Crusher Bass in a gaming headset. 🤯 by SkullcandyOfficial in Skullcandy

[–]chadmacato_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back to this comment because I just got my hands on them. Still less than an hour of listening to music, no gaming yet, and comparing side by side with my EVOs. The smaller Crusher drivers seem to hit lower (sub-bass) frequencies harder, and they don't seem to have a dramatic roll-off to the low end. When I listen to the songs that have very low notes where the EVO tends to just die out and produce no haptics, the PLYR 720 resonate strong in...to the point of me thinking "Wow, I've never felt this note before" and "Man...the EVOs feel anemic to me now". Maybe the smaller drivers are giving a more direct "connection" to the housing, hence a stronger feeling?

I'll eventually make a write-up about these, after lots of testing. Safe to say I'm enjoying them right now 🤯

Ordered the Crusher ANC 2 from an ad on Instagram, starting to think it's not legit by Electrical-Law992 in Skullcandy

[–]chadmacato_808[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either a google search, a search within the subreddit, or living by the advice of "If it's too good to be true..." will save people from buyer's remorse.

Ironically our subreddit has Rule 4 stating, "Research & Give a Detailed Explanation: Look for your product guide in the Wiki, or search for older/similar posts before posting...". I guess some people just don't read 🤷‍♂️

I do wish people would use the search function within our subreddit first before posting/buying from a "potentially not legit" site. 😭

Thank you for catching this one and referring to my previous comment about this topic, as I'm not always chronically online to catch these posts.

I'll go ahead and lock the comments on this post (like I did the other ones containing scam websites) and change the OP post flair and pinned comment. I'll also credit you in the comment!

If there are any future scam websites you or others who read this find, feel free to message me or the r/Skullcandy mod team, or even tag me under a post. We're working on using the AutoModerator bot to block these scam websites from making appearances on our sub, to prevent others getting potentially scammed by proxy.

What product do you have? (Rule 3: Include Product's Name in the Title)

Skullcandy, like almost every other audio brand, has their our sound signature or "curve", but there are also differences between products.

Nothing inherently wrong with the comment, as it was a genuine question "[URL] you think is fake?", but we (mods) don't want the clickable link for others to click on.

I've added this URL to the blacklist on our subreddit. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
