Why did Skullcandy release this? (Smokin' Buds 360)

Why did Skullcandy release this? (Smokin' Buds 360)

I've noticed that Skullcandy has the Smokin' Buds 360 up on their website as a supposed upgrade to the original Smokin' Buds. But, what is with them having a frequency range of only 50hz-10khz?

Mind you, these are at the exact same price as the original Smokin' Buds and advertise similar feature sets. Why on Earth in 2026 would anyone buy earbuds with such a narrow frequency range? I realise that these are just spec sheets, but if these have a frequency range this poor, then who in their right mind would ever get them over the original Smokin' Buds? They aren't even an open-ear design where a lack of bass is expected due to the design. To be honest, I see no excuse for this.

I'd like to hear you guys' thoughts on this.
