I'm obligated to say this because of the thread's title.
Skullcrushers are crap compared to almost anything by Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Denon, Koss, Beyerdynamic, AKG and even Sony.
Strong bass might be their selling point, but there's a big difference between quantity and quality.
Instead, try any single one of these;
Senn HD-280 or ATH-m40fs/50, ATH-ES7, ATH-FC700, Koss Porta Pro, AKG 27i or AKG K450.
A Grado SR60 would really beat them all though, if you're willing to go open back.
Closed back headphones generally come with good bass. Added bass can be done by either buying a headphone amp or adjusting the settings on your music player.
...Just, don't buy Skullcandies. Ugh. While bass on the Grado's have this warm, rich sound (despite being open back phones), the Skullcrushers sound like shooting your ears with a shotgun.
Edit: I usually test bass on headphones by listening to stuff by the Black Eyed Peas, Nas, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige.... the usual
