[SOLVED] skullcandy crusher headphones - bass boost only works when i hold in the embossed skull button

i got the skullcandy crusher headphones for christmas :)

the instructions say to put the red end of the 3.5mm connector cable (2 lines) into the headphones and the other end (black, 3 lines) into the audio device (e.g. laptop, phone, etc). but when i did this and turned up the bass using the slider on the left headphone speaker, i couldn't hear any bass unless i held in the embossed skull button on the cable.

(unless my product is defect, then) THIS IS WRONG! when i put the red end of the cable into my laptop and the black end into the actual headphones, THEN THE BASS WAS ON THE WHOLE TIME, without having to hold in the skull button! :)

once i figured that out, WOW what a great, shaking sound experience! :)

here's my amazon review for the skullcandy crusher headphones.
