I put these bad boys through the was at least once every 6 months, keep coming back for the quality
I put these in and listen to music on my walk to and from work, and the sound quality is amazing. You can hear every freaking breath the musician took while recording the song, and I don’t know whether to be impressed with the quality of the sound or disturbed that it’s like having a stranger breathe in your ear

Need a bass boost?
Good headphones and long battery life. I think the sound quality is pretty good, not amazing but pretty good.Bass boost hack: Tap on the headsets 4 times to activate the bass boost and it will change your experience. This wasn’t on the manual and I accidentally found out as I was trying to find a way to skip songs without having to use my phone.Con: Can’t skip songs.

Awesome sound quality, long lasting and durable
I’ve had a pair for almost two years now, these are wonderful quality earbuds. And I did drop a bud in a cup of tea twice and they’re still great a year later. I just bought this second pair for a friend.

Good earbuds, But I think they gave me a headache after wearing them for a while
First of all, I’m going to say, the dimes are decent earbuds for the price, you can’t go wrong with them. If your used to using airpods pro, these don’t have as much venting so you may notice a bit of pressure in your ears when you put them in, I’m not sure if that’s just me though. I sold them to a family member because they wanted a backup. If you can aford a bit more cash, I would go for the skullcandy dime evo earbuds that have been recently released if skullcandy is your thing. The feel of them in my ears wasn’t all that comfortable to me, personally. I got some earfun air 3 pros instead and they fit my ears much better, I’m not sure why though. If skullcandy made something similar to the air pro 3’s, I would snap them up in a heartbeat, They got the comfort right.

Excellent Quality for Value
I can’t get enough of these buds!! I think they are fantastic. I personally have tried various different expensive earbuds and I always end up buying some of these because they are impressive quality, they are compact, way more affordable than ones I have bought. I have these for the whole household and I personally have two sets I’m not the only one that loves them. To me they hold pretty well charge wise and the case does do a good job of charging the buds back up as soon as they are placed back in. I also love the color options so that’s something. If you are looking for earphones I’d recommend these for anyone. Let me add that the earbud piece is also not bulky or excessive and feels comfortable in my ear. 10/10.

Box arrived tampered with
Immediately upon receiving my package, I realized that my package had been opened at some point, the lid even being slightly wripped. The picture I took immediately after taking it out of the amazon packaging, before I opened it. The charger and extra earbud covers seemed to just be thrown in, and the earbuds themseleves seemed to be untouched besides some dust inside the case. However, nothing seems to be wrong with the overall product and besides this Ive had no problems with my other dime earbuds Ive gotten from Skullcandy

These Are Great!!!
So, I have to disclose I am a Skullcandy Athlete. That said, I will do my best to give an unbiased review of these which I did buy with my own money, at full price, from here before I was associated with them.Basically for the $24 price tag, these things are an absolute steal. I bought them because I needed something with a better mic for calls and I got it with these. With my last pair (another brand) I would have to send calls to vm or answer and put them on speaker phone. The sound quality with these Dime 2’s is very good as well. I feel like my money was well spent on these puppies and the green color looks super cool. Only gripe is that the charger isn’t usb-c it’s the old school micro usb. Not the end of the world by any means, and it does come with a nice, short cable to charge em. Overall I’m extremely happy with the value on these Dime 2’s.

Wow
I’ve purchased a lot of different SkullCandy headphones and these are (hands down) the best true wireless ones I’ve purchased. The others seem to have static or disconnection issues in one or both buds. These have been fantastic. Only wished battery life were a bit better. However, they charge rapidly.

Great bang for your buck
Was looking for an inexpensive pair of earbuds because I’ve had bad luck with AirPods (one of the buds stopped working with one pair and lost the other). Did some research and these had great reviews and were less than $25. I was skeptical of how they’d perform but they have definitely surpassed expectation! They of course don’t sound as good as AirPods, but they’re way better than expected considering how inexpensive they are. The only negative thing is that the battery life hasn’t been as long as advertised. The description says 3.5 hours outside of the case, but it’s been about 2 hours in my experience. I’ve never had the battery case die between charges though. Anyways, highly recommend if you’re looking for an inexpensive option that works extremely well for the price!

Great Value for the Money – and then some
I bought this product for use while cycling. I enjoy listening to music and also catching up with friends on the phone.The microphone does NOT cancel out wind noise when I am riding and that’s a minor disappointment. I have tried several products and, so far, nothing works – at least not within my budget (under $100.)However, the sound quality is excellent and the “Tile” technology is available to help me to find a bud if I drop it somewhere.I chose WHITE for visibility. Drop a black object in your bag and it becomes invisible. A bud popped out (my fault) while I was cycling (my fault) and it was easy to find on the black asphalt.The case serves as a portable charging station for the buds. It’s a new concept to me and it works well.

Skull Candy Dime 2 earbuds
These are not the best sounding earbuds but they are the very convienient and useful. I like the style and size plus you can use only one earbud at a time and switch it out with the other when the battery dies out and the case charges them each time they are placed back in. great for answering phone calls coming in and they can be attached to your belt loop or with a small clip or key chain. This is the second pair I have bought. They are very comfotable to wear with no discomfort at all. Very portable. The color is very attractive as well.

Almost perfect for the price.
Really nice product the only issue being I could never get them to connect to the app for more simple feature access. That being said loved the produce at the price great value. Bought them on sale but still great at full price. Not sure if there is a find my bud in the app but I lost and could not find one, still using the left one on occasion when my main ones need charging.

WOW these Dime 3 headphones are amazing
Background: I resisted the blue tooth craze for a long time. I opted to stick with wired headphones because I had concerns about going wireless. I always tended to prefer Skullcandy wired headphones. I finally took the plunge into wireless headphones and fell in love with the many conveniences. I felt silly for resisting going wireless for so long. But I always tended to use generic/no-name headphones. I didn’t want to spend more on headphones than the device that I would be listening to. I felt the audio was adequate. I was motivated to get these Skullcandy Dime 3 headphones and I couldn’t be more impressed.First and foremost is the audio. My music never sounded so good. The audio is crisp and clear. You can hear every nuance (background instrumentation and harmonies, stereo panning, etc). The Dime 3 really brings all the sonic layers to life. IMO the audio should be the main concern for any headphones and these are the best that I’ve ever listened to.There are many features that I will probably never use (personal assistant, multi-pairing, etc). But they are available if you want them. One thing that I really appreciate is that the touch controls in the individual buds are actual buttons that you depress. My previous buds were simply touch controls and I would invariably activate/deactivate certain options just by placing them in my ear or removing them. That won’t happen with these since the buttons actually must be depressed. From other reviews, I had concerns about the case staying closed or accidentally coming open. The lid of the case is held closed by pressure snapping mechanisms. So there is really no concern of the lid coming open accidentally. They fit very well into my ear and are very comfortable to wear.I am extremely extremely happy with the Dime 3 earbuds. The value is amazing. They are probably even less expensive than the other no-name buds that I was using. At this price, I certainly could not justify listening to anything else.

Very good quality for the price
The earphones work pretty well, there is a learning curve because I had never used them before but after I figured it out they work fine. Do not expect much from the printed instructions, you will have to go online to get full use figured out.I would recommend them good quality product for the money.

Not worth the upgrade from the dime 2
Been using the dime 2 for forever and bought the dime 3 a bit ago as an “upgrade” when I lost my last pair. Overall they basically function exactly the same.However the buttons are super sensitive now instead of feeling like a proper button. Anytime I have to reposition the headphones it presses the buttons in and either pauses or skips what I’m listening to. Not the end of the world but super annoying.The ear buds themselves also don’t feel as good. The buds are constantly sliding out of my ear and I have to push them back in causing buttons to be pressed. The other buds it comes with are way too big or too small so kind of a lose lose situation.Sound quality sounds the same as the dime 2 in my opinion. Though I don’t mess around with any of the sound profiles.I do have an issue where I will be in my car and instead of playing through my speakers it will constantly connect to my earbuds over and over and over again. I’ll disconnect them and they will immediately reconnect which drives me insane. Only way to stop it is by completely unpairing the headphones. Apparently if the case is dead it just won’t recognize that they are docked and constantly connect which was a problem I never really had before till these.Overall quality seems about the same. Though I’ve washed and dried the dime 2 on accident before and they held up better than my dime 3 which got warped after, but they function.TL;DR yeah the batter life is a bit longer than the Dime 2 but I honestly think this one is a step back in a lot of way. I don’t plan on purchasing these again and will continue to buy the Dime 2 instead.

Good fit and sound. Long review
I’ve been using my skull candy dime 3s for several months now on a daily basis and am generally quite happy with them. Enough so that I purchased a second set.+ Using ear individually the pair easily lasts me all day, alternating them using charging case.+ Good sound quality+ Convenient small charging case w/ ring I can attach to Keychain+ Case charged via USB-C+ Easy to use controls for volume, connecting and powering off. (Lots of functions read the insert as they’re pretty useful)+ Ear buds work independently with each having all functions.- Battery life seems to be about 80% of original length after approximately three months of daily use.- Only colors available currently are white and black. (Previous generations had blue, Green, red, orange…)- Would be nice if charging case had more LEDs or a numerical display of how fully it was charged. At least which lit up while it was charging or when an ear bud was inserted or removed from the case.The increased battery duration from the previous dime and dime 2s is notable. Although, I have already seen around a 20% drop in battery life. I do use them nearly all day at work, (8 hours, 5 days per week) generally using one ear bud at a time as I prefer to also be able to easily hear people around me without needing to remove an ear bud dozens of times per day.

Good
It’s not bad. Definitely do like the tracking with tile, but the bad part is that it’s when you track with tile the sound is not loud enough to ear. It will have to be completely quiet to bearly hear the sound. I had spent at least 15 minutes minimum looking for the ear buds. The rang is also not that far either maybe a little over 10 ft or so.

Skullcandy Dime 2
So far so good. They fit very well in my ears, which has been a problem for me with other earbuds. I am using the size medium ear cushions. It comes with 3 sizes. Sound is great so far. Good bass.Charge lasts for several hours, and the case recharges quickly. Fit and finish are nice as well. Happy I bought them.

Almost a perfect upgrade! Except for one thing…
Bought the Dime 3’s replace my old Dime 1’s that I absolutely ran into the ground over the years. Upon first impressions this is a major upgrade that fixes every problem I had with the Dime 1.Sound is a small but noticeable change as music is a lot more layered than its predecessor. Battery life got better too as I’m able to go 3 days on a single charge as opposed to 2 with the Dime 1. The charging pins are placed in a better spot for more reliable charging, something I’m super grateful for as the Dime 1s had a serious issue where the pins wouldn’t line up and the buds wouldn’t charge even when placed in the case.Speaking of charging, With the upgrade to type C charging I can finally throw away my micro USB cable and use one cable for everything now. Also the build quality is a lot better too since the buttons are all plastic instead of the cheap rubber that eventually dried up and crumbled away with the Dime 1.This would’ve been a 5 star review if it wasn’t for one unnecessary change. For some reason on these buds they decided to swap the previous/next track functions on the in-line buttons with volume controls instead, meaning I have to pull my phone out everytime I wanna change a song which took some getting used to. But apart from that it’s a good buy especially if your coming from the previous version of these buds like me.

Great lil headphones
I just got them today, but they sound great for single driver earbuds. I love how small the case is compared to the other headphones I have too. They connect to my phone easily and are great headphones for $30. They also charge with the 60w charger I use for my phone. It only took about 30 minutes to fully charge the case and headphones. I wasn’t paying attention though it could’ve been faster than that even.

good sounding ear buds
The first pair I received would not charge on the left side. I made a return and ordered a new pair. Total return and new ear buds took about a week. The new ones work great. Good sound.

Excellent Ear Buds, Even Without the Price!
I bought a set of Dime Black earbuds about a year and a half ago, if not longer, for working landscaping. As I told a coworker, I bought “cheap earplugs that happen to play music.” When I got them, I wasn’t sure what to expect considering they were all of twenty bucks, which usually means major compromises in the Bluetooth audio world. However, they blew me away when I put them in and played some music. Everything was fairly clear, even if not as good as a fairly expensive pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones (my other, “leisure” pair is a set of Sony MDR-XB950N1 headphones). Now, this review is going to primarily focus on the Dime 2 because that is what I am using now after replacing the initial set of Dimes (after, erm… Misplacing them.)The first thing to know is these are VERY comfortable earbuds. I typically hate wearing earbuds, especially for long periods. They make my ears itchy and start to get uncomfortable for extended periods, but I would wear these for hours at a time (sometimes pushing the extent of the threeish-hour battery life) and they wouldn’t bother me anywhere near as much as others. While I still favor my Sony headphones, those were refurbished and cost five times as much as these earbuds. These are genuinely the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn. To give this a numbered scale, I would put them at overall comfort 8/10, but for earbuds, it would be 10/10.Now, sound quality? I utilize two songs to test any audio – Always In My Head by Coldplay and I Just Wanna Know by NF. The former is great for putting extreme highs and lows at the same time where poorer sound systems will show how cheap they are, and the latter utilizes a lot of mids and bass at the same time that catches where some audio equipment will cheap out on the mids. Both songs were fairly clear. While the bass was okay (in my opinion), it makes up for it with very, very clear mids. They are NOT going to blow you away, but in the realm of this price point? They are phenomenal. 8/10Tile is a very useful tool that I have made use of. Part of why I ended up buying these instead of something higher-end is that I am very, very prone to misplacing things that are small, and… Wireless earbuds are small. I did not want cables connecting them due to them being very annoying (I tried), and I wanted something cheap enough that if it broke, I lost it, or whatever might happen, I could replace them easily. Tile removed one of these issues – If I lose them, it will both show them on a map and play an audio chime at max volume. I’m going to go ahead and say the chime is useless on these – they are -not- that loud. The map is great for finding a general location if you’re a college student or out and about a lot. They can show you where to look and have saved me the price of a new pair on more than one occasion.Battery life is probably the weakest point, in my opinion. But I also admit I am spoiled. The case has enough charge for a few recharge sessions, and the earbuds are approximately capable of three-hour bursts of battery life. While it was rarely an issue, I also had to make sure to recharge them almost every night because during a shift of work, I would use almost the entire charge. The Dime 3’s SHOULD fix that based upon the specs on Amazon, but I have no idea how they are. I just know the Dime 1 and Dime 2. 6/10Build quality is, for the money, great as well. Don’t expect metal hinges or anything at this price. However, they feel solid and I have dropped them on more than one occasion and they don’t ever seem phased. I did get one set (I may have bought more than one…) where the magnet that holds it closed was not glued properly, and have had one other that kept glitching when trying to connect to my phone (but that also could have been my phone, but if anyone else has experienced this I would love to know!) until I ran it and my phone dead and charged them both back to full. Don’t run them through the washer, though. They will not survive that. 8/10Overall, if you are looking for some inexpensive earbuds that are excellent at blocking sound and great at making (good) sounds, these are the ones to get.

Good value for money, but have some issues
Summary at bottom of review, because this got a lot longer than I expected.Liked: These earbuds have no business sounding so good for the price point. The bass is nice & rumbly, even with the default sound settings enabled. The stay-aware setting is great; I can simply pause my music and participate in conversations without having to take out an earbud. Stay-aware mode does cause a slight hissing sound when not playing music, but it’s not unbearable. They hold a charge for way longer than 8hrs of continuous use — I often use them all day (about 8 hours) on 60% volume, and their battery only drops to about 50% by the end of the day. Also, their range seems longer than advertised, as I can connect them to my computer on one end of the house and stay connected in the garage on the other end of the house. That’s like 15 yards.Disliked: Okay, what’s up with the weird button press times? To enable stay-aware mode, you do a quick press followed by a one-second press/hold. But the press/hold registers as a quick press unless I hold for 3 full Mississippi seconds (“one Mississippi, two Mississippi,” etc). So any of the settings that utilize multiple press/holds, or multi-second press/holds, I just don’t use. It’s too unpleasant to wrestle with that, because they never register correctly. Also — and this isn’t the earbuds’ fault — it’s Bluetooth. So yeah, there’s some problems from the Bluetooth being Bluetooth. Occasionally my earbuds won’t sync properly, or only one will connect to my device but not the other. This is solved by replacing them both into the case until the charge light comes on, then removing them both again. Also, using a single earbud is fine until you try to use the second earbud. Again, this is solved by quickly replacing them in the case. Full disclosure, I hate Bluetooth with all my heart. I refuse to buy a new phone because none of them have headphone jacks. I refuse to buy a laptop if it doesn’t have a headphone jack. The future will have to pry my wired earbuds from my cold, dead hands. HOWEVER, as stated above, the stay-aware mode on these earbuds is really nice, and I can use them for walking my dog without getting hit by a car/bus/plane/boat/SpaceX rocket/etc. So that overrides the drawbacks of Bluetooth for me. Finally, the case looks nice, but the earbuds are literally exposed, so it’s not super protective. I’m a little worried about the longevity of the earbuds’ buttons from being unprotected like that, and I’d never throw the case into a bag or clip the lanyard to my backpack due to this.Summary: These have a good value for the money you pay. Bluetooth has connectivity issues. (Again, I may be biased here, as I love wired audio with my entire heart & soul.) The stay-aware mode works as advertised. The timing of button presses is weird and counterintuitive. The bass is great for the price. The case design is lacking but gets the job done. Better battery life than advertised. Each earbud is equipped with Tile, but I haven’t used that yet so can’t speak to it. Also haven’t used these to take calls, so I can’t judge the quality of the mic. Overall I recommend these, but don’t expect them to blow your mind if you’re used to more premium audio.

Compact, Reliable, and Great Sound Quality!
I’ve been using the Skullcandy Dime 3 In-Ear Wireless Earbuds for a few months now, and they have quickly become my go-to earbuds for both work and leisure. These earbuds offer an impressive combination of sound quality, convenience, and affordability that is hard to beat.First and foremost, the sound quality of these earbuds is excellent. Despite their small size, they deliver a rich, balanced audio experience with clear highs, mids, and surprisingly punchy bass. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, the audio is crisp and immersive, making my listening experience enjoyable and engaging. Although I’ll add, utilizing the right size silicone earbuds is an essential part of this experience.The 20-hour battery life is another standout feature. With a full charge, these earbuds easily last me through a full day of use, including my commute, work hours, and evening workouts. The charging case is compact and portable, making it easy to recharge the earbuds on the go. This extended battery life means I don’t have to worry about constantly recharging them, which is a huge convenience.One of the things I love most about the Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds is their compact design. They fit snugly and comfortably in my ears, and the lightweight design makes them perfect for long listening sessions without any discomfort. The included ear tips in different sizes ensure a secure fit, which is especially important during workouts or while running errands.The built-in microphone works seamlessly with both my iPhone and Android devices, providing clear and reliable call quality. Bluetooth connectivity is quick and hassle-free, and the earbuds maintain a stable connection without any dropouts, even when I’m moving around. This makes them perfect for hands-free calls and voice commands, adding to their overall convenience.Durability is another area where these earbuds excel. They feel sturdy and well-built, capable of withstanding daily wear and tear. The IPX4 rating adds an extra layer of protection against sweat and light rain, making them a reliable choice for workouts and outdoor activities.In conclusion, the Skullcandy Dime 3 In-Ear Wireless Earbuds offer outstanding value for their price. With their excellent sound quality, long battery life, compact design, and reliable performance, they have quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or a reliable pair of earbuds for everyday use, I highly recommend giving these a try. You won’t be disappointed!

They sound great
I’ll start with my likes, they battery life is very good and pairing is easy and fairly quick. They fit my ear really well and help with blocking out noise when I need it.Now the bad, I still have the previous model to these and they work great aside from the mic no longer working so I can use them to talk, they’ve been through and I’ve had them a long time so I cant fault them for finally showing their age. These new ones are a real pain to charge and turn on. They don’t connect well to the charging probes at all, you have to press them into the probes to get them to charge and there’s no guarantee that it will continuously charge. That also means that when you remove them from the charging box to use them they don’t recognize that you’ve removed them from the charging probes so they don’t turn on. You have to place them back in the charging probes and then pull them back off for them to turn on and connect to your phone. Are they unusable? No, but there’s a decent amount of unnecessary time spent getting them to work and charge compared to other brands of the same price range. I’ve been through my fair share of ear buds over the last ten to fifteen years, all brands cheap and expensive. Skull candy has always been one of my top favorites, but this newer model leaves a lot to be desired.

Not perfect, but still great earbuds at an affordable price
At this price point, I expect to be making tradeoffs on earbuds. The Dime 3’s aren’t perfect earbuds, but they’re almost perfect for me. I have other earbuds that I really like, including ones that cost significantly more. But these are now my go-to everyday buds.First off, they’re extremely comfortable. This is a personal thing, of course, but these are the most comfortable earbuds that I own. I have narrow ear canals and the design of these is perfect. I think what makes the difference for me is that the nozzle where the silicone tips attach is oval rather than round and that works better for me. The buds are very small and lightweight and they stay securely in my ears. I can basically wear these forever without them becoming uncomfortable.Related to that, they seal really well and I don’t actually miss ANC much at all. I’m sure there are situations where I would want to go for my ANC buds, but in everyday use, these are sufficient. I spent a while a walking around the Mall of America on a very busy day with these earbuds and could listen to my music just fine without any ANC. Related to that, transparency mode also works well. When I turned it on at the Mall of America, I could carry on a conversation just fine and it really didn’t feel like I was wearing earbuds, but it still took the edge off the noise. As someone with some noise sensitivity issues, this matters to me.The big selling point for me is that the case attaches to my keychain. I always have earbuds in my bag, but sometimes I want to just grab my keys and my phone and go. With these earbuds, I can do that, and have them handy if I noise is getting to be too much for me, or I just want some tunes. The case is about the same footprint as my car fob and about twice as thick. It’s a little bulky in my jeans pocket, but fine in a jacket pocket. On first inspecting things, I was a little worried about the lid popping open, but it hasn’t happened. I’ve had these on my keychain for several weeks now with zero problems.Of course, these are earbuds, so it matters how they sound, and they’re good! They don’t have the bells and whistles of more expensive earbuds, like custom EQ, but the sound is good enough right out of the box that I don’t really care. I have better-sounding earbuds, but these still punch above their price point.The Tile functionality was a selling point for me (because they’re on my keychain with my house and car keys!) and I think it’s not worth it. First, the sound the make is pretty quiet, so it’s not useless, but only useful if you’re in the same room. More importantly, using the Tile functionality drains the batteries. The battery capacity is fine, but not stellar, but if the batteries are drained after just a few days of non-use, it defeats the point of having the these earbuds on my keychain. As a result, I deleted the Tile app from my phone and reset the earbuds, so hopefully the battery will last longer.Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons for me and I really love these earbuds. Not perfect for everybody, but I do recommend them if your needs are similar to mine.

Cheapest pair of earbuds I’ve ever bough and they’re AMAZING
Invested in the Dime 3s after losing one of my expensive earbuds at work for the 2nd time….I gotta say I’m blown away by these and I’m def using these as my edc earbuds from now on.These are the cheapest earbuds I have ever purchased and they’re dope. They have all of the features I wanted/needed and they’re extremely comfortable and light. Super small/short and low profile so they’re great for hiding lol.I think these are definitely the best earbuds in this price range. Usually, you sacrifice quality and features when you get the cheaper stuff but with these you don’t sacrifice much at all.I love the fact that these actually have transparency (awareness) mode and it surprisingly goodThese also have the solo earbud mode and you can use it with awareness mode at the same time which is awesome. Each earbud can also fully control the volume.I really like the case as well. It’s pretty sturdy and the lid is nonmagnetic, so it’ll take a bit of force to open. But there are magnets inside of the case to hold your earbuds in.Sound quality and battery life are also very good.When it comes down to it there are only a few things that separate these from a very expensive pair which is noise cancelation, touch controls, wireless charging and the ability to tweak the EQ. So yeah I definitely recommend the Dime 3 for sure (not the dime 2s) they’re definitely worth the price

These are better than the reviews indicate.
We are new to the Bluetooth headphone game. I am NOT new, however, to the performance audio game. We purchased these Dime 2’s, EarFun Air Pro 2, and the Apple AirPods 2nd Gen. I honestly expected to be returning the Dime’s, but simply wanted to get a feel for the bottom of the price range. I WON’T be returning the Dime’s.Fit: I can’t talk about “sound quality” until I discuss fit. The Dime’s come with 3 sizes of rubber ear pads. 2 of the sizes felt good in my ears, but only 1 size created an ideal “sound isolation” environment. I used a fully tiled bathroom with a noisy exhaust fan to test all of this sound isolation stuff. No music, not “paired” or powered-on, just me in a bathroom with a noisy fan. It was really easy to decide which pads to choose for the Dime’s. I was able to accomplish an equally good fit with the EarFun Air Pro 2’s, it just took longer to decide on which pads were best because they supply 6 options. Apple AirPods 2G are comfortable and easy to wear, but completely FAIL any sound isolation tests or efforts.Sound Quality: The sound quality varies with the Fit, and the audio source; In that order. The Dime’s have VERY good (almost excellent) sound quality when they are positioned correctly in my ear. The sound quality is totally lackluster using any of the other 2 supplied ear pads.(see Fit) The Dime’s are definitely tuned to a “flat” EQ, with the intent here being the most accurate reproduction of the source audio. The Dime’s nearly accomplish this, but maybe sound just a bit “warm” at times. Not “boomy”, still crisp with some punch, but warm. An example of this might be experienced with something like the “Black Album” by Metallica, where some of the crunch and texture of that recording will be subtly converted to warmth. This is an extreme example, but one that you may be able to imagine without actually having to go and “listen” to it. The “price to performance” ratio of these Dime’s is insane. The EarFun Air Pro 2’s are even better. Are they maybe even pushing the boundary into “reference quality” territory? I’m not qualified to award this label, but I am at least qualified to suspect it as possibly being the case. The Apple AirPods 2G don’t fit well enough to create any sound isolation. Music sounds different every time I put them on, or anytime something in the environment changes.If the Dime’s are $30 headphones worth $100; then the Apple’s are $100 headphones worth $30. However, if the Apple’s WERE $30, I wouldn’t buy them because I can get the Dime’s for $30. I don’t know what to tell you about the EarFun Air Pro 2’s..? They’re simply unbelievable at their $60-$80 price point. I will say that the “touch” controls of the EarFun’s are more of a nuisance than the actual “buttons” of the Dime’s since I DO have to actually TOUCH the earbuds to put them into my ears. If I had to offer just 1 suggestion to you, it would be to start with the Dime’s. This could become your favorite pair of cheap sunglasses that you just keep coming back to. I honestly have no idea how much you have to spend to find something that is better without its’ own set of compromises.

thought I was returning these
wow I am thoroughly impressed.1st. not many ear buds fit into my right ear because I have cauliflower ear from jiujitsu. I was stuck using the first style airpods because they would stay in when working out but no comfortable because no gel tips. sound also was average at best with the airpods.I’ve purchased and returned so many ear buds because of this reason.I saw these on sale and haven’t used skull candy since high school…im 32. so I said whatever let’s give skull candy a shot.these are keepers 100%. I love the charging case and how I can put it on the same key ring as my keys. I also drive Lyft and the mode where you can hear better. I forget the name skull candy gave it but it works well. stay aware mode or whatever. similar to other ear buds with ANC.for the price these are unbeatable. I have a pair of one plus buds and these are very similar in sound quality.highly recommend these. maybe buy 2 pairs. because I may if they go on sale again. steal.

Amazing earbuds for this cheap, but…
So I’ve bought a bunch of pairs of these since they’re so cheap. I have had some small issues on occasion though. One time I got the wrong color, which was not a big issue for me so I didn’t return them, and that is an easy fix if that does bother you. But, I’ve had some connection issues with one of my pairs. One of my pairs had constantly had connection issues, to the point where they were unusable and I now refuse to use them. But, honestly, usually this issue can be fixed by returning them and getting a refund or a new pair. The sizing was a bit too big for my ears, but they weren’t super uncomfortable, though I would not recommend using them if you sleep with earbuds. Besides that, colors are great and these are a lot better than other brands that I’ve gotten for 3x the price.

Just one issue
The battery life and sound quality are great.. when I can actually get them to charge.They don’t always disconnect from my phone and start charging when I put them back in the case.. I usually have to plug the case in to trigger them charging which is pretty inconvenient when on the go.

Just average earbuds
So I was expecting a bit more (not much but more) from these. They are ok and that’s about all.The battery life in the one earbud is about half that of the left (checked multiple times on full charge)(8 hrs in 1 and 4 to 5 hrs in the other).The case gives me 1 full charge to the earbuds when dead(not event close to listed).ever since i started using the earbuds I would put them in the case to charge and would notice that they wouldn’t charge or would stop charging. I checked for dirt if misaligned no issues. I noticed that when they are left over night to charge they would the case and the buds would both be dead. I checked several times and found that some how the buds would stop charging while in the case and connect to phone. then disconnect after a period of time and again charge. this repeated until earbuds and case were dead.Sound quality is okay. Nothing good or bad to say here.Microphone. Several times people had said they can not hear me while on the earbuds and have to use phone. They said I sounded so far away. I wonder if they are picking up to much background notice. Maybe.The earbuds have fallen out numerous times while jogging and walking. Supposedly they are for sports (jogging, biking, weightlifting, aerobics, etc.). I dont use they for any sports any more. only took a month of them falling out trying the different ear piece and nothing works. My 5 dollar ovalish earbuds stay in place so much better. they have never fallen out.I think that about covers my review. Save the money buy a different pair or brand. Passing these on to my kids that want to just sit and listen to their music.

Get what you pay for I guess
I’ve had this for 7 months. I only use it occasionally for work or grocery shopping. I’ve only been able to get an earbud to last 90 minutes instead of 3.5 hrs. The charging rarely works, it neither charges the buds or holds much charge, I feel like I’m doing something wrong.I have small ears and the comfort is not great. The bud is a fine size, I get skull candy because they come with the multiple sizes. The actual earbud is not very comfortable.Lastly, the plastic holding the magnet broke and I will have to superglue it back together or something.Overall, I guess you get what you pay for.

Not bad.
These sound good for the money. The tile feature is handy for sure. Has 3 Eq modes. Sound is clean. I personally like a louder heavier sound but this is crisp and has a decent bass. Recommend.

Best cheap wireless earbuds
I’ve always liked skullcandy products. They are high quality for mid to low cost.I bought these for work so I can ditch the wires on other headsets. This allows me have more freedom in my movement and I only use one at a time so I can still hear and focus my attention as needed.They charge quickly and you can charge one earbud while using the other. The range is pretty good but you wouldn’t want to leave the building your in without your device unless you want to loose connection.The compact charger case fits in any pocket or you can clip it to your keys/bag etc.If or when these eventually stop working I will probably buy the same brand / product again.

Bummed a bit !
The sound quality is nice but the battery isn’t near as long lasting as they claim it is ! Just so you know and as long as you don’t plan on having a long battery life they are a good purchase for the cost.They are more comfortable then some big brand name ones I have so I wear them much more often.

Who needs air pods
My kids both have AirPods. And both got these for Christmas. Both of my kids tell me is work way better than AirPods referring to the sound quality and the comfort. They said they’re easy to connect Bluetooth wise. They said they held a charge longer. And said they rather have the these then their AirPods.

Pretty good for the value
I’ve been buying Skull Candy brand for years, so it was a no brainer to grab these when I needed a new pair of headphones. They seem to work very well. The case and headphones are both durable. The headphones themselves are comfortable to wear. I like that the case has a little “strap” on it that I can connect to my keys so I always have them available. The small size is perfect to always carry around, too. My only complaint is sometimes I feel like I’m not getting the case to charge. This could be my own flaw though.

Great earbuds!
These are great, simple earbuds. Good for the price and small, compact, easy to bring with you. They are small and I love that for my ear. Most plastic earbuds hurt me and I can wear these for a few hours and not have any issues! Love the Bone/Orange color I got them in. The only thing is constantly having to connect the bluetooth every time I turn them on and sometimes I don’t think they fit in the case correctly. But good for their money and work when they need them too.. Just a few extra steps sometimes!
