Skullcandy Dime in-Ear Wireless Earbuds, 12 Hr Battery, Microphone, Works with iPhone Android and Bluetooth Devices - True Black

These little guys are really nice. The sound quality is pretty standard for earphones, and the magnets that keep them in the case are great. Not too weak that they fall out, nor too strong that you can't get them out. I find myself fidgeting with the case all the time, snapping it open and closed. At first I had a huge issue with them staying in my ear, but I figured out that because of my ear-shape, they worked much better if I put them in upside-down. It does put the microphone further way from your mouth, but calls still work pretty well, I just have to keep the microphone hole unclogged from...debris. but that comes with earbuds, you really should be cleaning out earwax and stuff every once in a while. I do wish there was a way to tell how much charge the case battery has left. I keep getting to work and finding out that both the earbuds and the case are dead. Ooh that's another thing. When the buds detects that they're charging, they turn off automatically, but when the case dies, they automatically turn on and connect to my phone, which will drain the battery overnight. This could be fixed though if I charged them more often. Minor inconveniences aside, I do love these earbuds, and use them, nearly everyday!

Sound quality is great. The case is also steady. Overall a great product

Edit #2: Seems silly that I'm back here submitting yet another edit to my original review, but I've discovered something new and would like to be as fair as possible to this product. I had never really used these buds with just my phone for any significant amount of time until recently. I was pleasantly surprised to find that after about 45 minutes of continuous use, they had not died, and in fact still had 90% battery left. I kept listening to see if it was a fluke and after about 90 minutes total they were still going strong at 70%. After about another 45 minutes, the battery level had dropped down to about 60%, which is WAY longer than they ever lasted when I used them with my computers. I'm not sure what the difference is (the Bluetooth version, maybe? I don't know about these things), but I get substantially better battery life with my phone than I do with my work or personal computers. With this new discovery, my opinion of these earbuds has changed significantly. The sound quality is ok. The fit is excellent. The connection is quick and consistent, and I don't experience any lag or connection issues with these. All in all, I am much happier with these now that I understand them better. They've become my go-to buds. I've readjusted my rating to 4 stars. Edited: After using these for about 2 months, I'm updating my reviewing and removing one star for battery life. I now get about 40 minutes on a full charge, which isn't the end of the world, but it is very annoying. I use these for work and cannot make it through a virtual meeting without them dying. I can realistically only use one earbud at a time, then need to switch to the other one after it dies (which is always does 100% of the time after about 40 minutes). While I like that each bud can be used independently, this is absolutely silly for ear buds. I would not have purchased these if I had known the battery life was this bad. I really can't think of a practical use for earbuds that only last about 40 minutes on a full charge. I'll leave the review at 3 stars because, battery issues notwithstanding, these are otherwise pretty good ear buds. Sound, pairing, looks - all excellent. However, these do not get the 3.5 hours of battery life as advertised. Mine are closer to about 90 minutes, sometimes less. Still not a bad value for the price if you plan to use them in short sessions, like a commute or a run or something, but if you need them for longer than 90 minutes at a time, these are not for you.

I've been using these little buds for about 6 months now, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The grip in my ears is very good, I always use them when I jog in the mornings, and they never felt like falling off throughout all this time. There is obviously not active noise cancellation, but the noise isolation coming from the earphone tips is quite good: using a little over half of the volume sometimes I cannot hear clearly the people speaking around me and the noises from coming cars are reduced in a quiet morning jog environment. For the price you can't expect groundbreaking sound quality, but these little buds deliver a decent quality for the price, I use them to hear my podcasts in the morning, and they sound good for such a task. Battery can be an inconvenience of small earbuds like these, but in my case I don't use to use them for longer than a few hours, and degradation doesn't mean evident after half a year of use. I would appreciate a battery indicator for the case, it doesn't have any, and I've found myself trying to use the earbuds just to notice they're not at 100% because the case didn't have any battery on them. There were a few times as well when I couldn't use them at all because they had no charge and the case was also empty. All in all I'm happy with their performance, quality and how they've endured through time and I probably would buy them again if I needed an extra pair.

Battery doesn't last long. Takes a long time to fully charge. Dies quicker. I only use one at a time to lengthen battery, and they sometimes will both be dead after swapping them out. They last like 20 min each earbud in a zoom call not plugged in. I have had them for a couple of years, but it's always been like that. The Bluetooth also almost never turns off even when they're both in the case closed. So my phone calls will randomly connect and I can't hear the speaker anymore even though I wasn't using my headphones. Also that's why they're always dead, it's always trying to be connected even when it's "off". The don't stay in my ear at all. But I might have small ears, they pop out so quick I can't wear them unless I'm basically doing nothing and have hands to put it back in my ear constantly. Also only charges with the exact charging cord it came with, no other charger even though they're the same kind works. Very cheap at the time though, so good if you lose them a lot or need a temporary earbud. I did feel like skull candy let me down a bit though.

You need to understand the battery life of this product to fully understand it's five star review status. This was my first pair of earbuds, I had no idea how to use them, charge them, how long to expect them to last, etc. I tried to use them after first charge & they died right away! These are basically meant to be plugged in every night essentially, you charge these like you would charge your phone nightly, & when fully charged they only last 2 hours. They DO require daily charging if you want them to work. I have mine permanently plugged in on my nightstand, I use them at night when my husband is sleeping so I can use my phone to watch shows or YouTube, etc. & put them back in their case to charge again when I'm done. If you wanted to take these to work, you would need to charge them every night and then put them in your purse or pocket in the am, once you start using them they will only last for two hours and then they will die. The sound quality is great, they instantly connect to my phone when I remove them from the case, they are great! You must keep the case plugged in at all times & put them back when you're done for reliable use though, hope that helps! UPDATE: Just an added bit of information, I have eventually started using these one at a time and if I need to stop using them and make lunch for my kids or something, I reach up and hold the button on the outside of the earbud & press it for three seconds, then they turn off. When I go back to them I have not wasted half an hour or an hour of unused time and the battery life last a lot longer! If I ever get a low battery warning, then I put it back in the charger and I grab the other one. If you want to make these work and you're flexible, they can be great!

Caveat emptor! Buyer beware! I purchased 2 pairs of these -one for me and one for my son. All seemed fine until a couple of months later when the ear buds would turn on when in the charging case. Issue appears to be poor connection between the case and earbuds. Results are (1) earbud in case intermittently turns on and off in case, (2) often times case is flat due to constant battery drain and (3) phone calls send audio to earbud in case - which of course I don’t know until I look at my phone and see I’m connected to an earbud that should be turned off and charging. Amazon wasted hours of my time only to say I was outside return period (I was just seeking a solution and customer support, but given Amazon CS didn’t have a clue I expected a refund). Amazon referred me to Skull Candy CS in … Ireland. Skull Candy didn’t and wouldn’t help me either. Now my sons earbuds are also turning on in charging case. I compared the charging case contacts to those of a competitor and immediately noticed the Dime charging case contact pins have no appreciable spring tension. I think the poorly designed case coupled with poorly designed charging pins is a by design recipe for failure. My advice if you want to try these is buy them from a local store that can provide support if yours turn out to be duds like ours. At least then you can deal with a human instead of Amazon’s horrible system for raising a CS ticket. I’ve posted a picture to show the fault in action. The earbud shown on the left is firmly placed in the charging case and yet is not charging and is connected to my phone. Closing the case lid sometimes helps but I find it’s better to keep it open so I can see if either bus is connected or not when it should be off and charging in case. Second picture shows charging case snapped shut. My phone is still connected as shown by the third picture.

I picked up these with some 7mm foam tips and I'm pretty happy with the setup. I hate the silicone tips that these types of things come with from a comfort perspective, and the foam gives a more secure fit with better bass response and sound isolation. Only problem with this setup is I have to take off the foam tips to fit the buds in the case and charge them, so I just take the tips off and jam them in the case next to the buds and it works. Sound quality is great. Mostly flat, though I do like a tiny bit of extra bass with earbuds and these are well within reasonable levels. My only real comparison is some JLab JBuds which I could not stand from a sound (wayyy too much bass and a sound clarity I could only describe as "dirty") and fitment (pain) perspective. I had foam tips with those too but it didn't help the comfort much. I think they were just the wrong shape for my ears. I have little ears with big ear holes. I listen to a lot of Scandinavian melodic death metal and these buds work well for this. Very clear. Paired with an iPhone and I don't notice much compression artifacts unless the source is a low bitrate. "Very high" on Spotify is pretty acceptable for normal listening with these. I don't notice much background hiss with these either. Oh yeah also they don't fall out, but I notice they're not quite as secure with the included silicone tips. The buttons on the earbuds are borderline useless but it's not something I typically use. Overall, I'm not sure of a better way to spend $20 ($27 with the foam tips ordered separately, look for "Earphone Tips New Bee 12pcs Premium Replacement Earbud Tips Blocking Out Ambient Noise Memory Foam Earbuds Inner 4.9mm for in-Ear Headphones with 5mm-7mm Tips" to duplicate my setup).

Excellent product. Great value for money. I have been using it for 6 months now and its still working perfectly fine. Sound quality is very good for the price and product seems very durable and works well regardless of the climate. Buttons are a bit hard to press though so pressing them while using the earphones pushes them deeper in your ear which is a bit uncomfortable.

Its a blast!! 🔥🔥 To be very frank ..... It has skullcandy signature sound which is full in itself..!! Its so very crisp and clear ......no distortion .......and there's plenty bass. I personally loved it. ❤️ It's premium segment earphones in budget category. Kudos to skullcandy!! The build quality is also good , doesn't feel cheap . And they are so tiny......yet amazing sounding. Definitely recommended.

Wow. What a deal. For the price of two earbuds, I got the privilege of enjoying exactly one. The right earbud? Fantastic. Great bass, clear vocals, honestly impressive for something this cheap. The left earbud? Well, it enjoyed a nice nap in the case, lighting up red as if it was charging, then refusing to do absolutely anything when removed. Truly inspiring. I tried everything. Resetting, re-pairing, looking up tutorials and just nothing. It just sits there, mocking me. So unless Skullcandy secretly meant for this to be a mono product, I’m going to go ahead and call it what it is: broken. The real kicker??? I actually like, really love Skullcandy. I’ve bought their stuff before. I’ve even had the same exact problem with their earbuds before, which makes me wonder if the joke’s on me for trusting them again. But hey, at least the working earbud sounds great. Pity I can’t grow a second right ear.

Delivery took exactly a week from US to SG. Was looking for the Dime orange and I happened to find it here at a much lower price! Not fussy with sound quality so the bass is good enough for me. Will find out if its able to last 3.5hrs as stated. Overall, happy with the purchase! ❤️👍

Ottima resa per la poca spesa
