Pros & Cons
Pros
Skullcandy earphones are almost as good as my over-ear headphones. Usb-c is versatile, works on my smartphone as well as laptop. These headphones always work perfectly for me.
Sound quality is good for the price, and they block out noise pretty decently. They fit very comfortably. Sound and in ear comfort are pretty good.
Skullcandy never disappoints. Still running smoothly. One minor complaint is the volume control button is a little sensitive and i find myself clicking it by accident sometimes, which pauses the track, or skips, or whatever.
Cons
The microphone stoped working after 2 months of normal use. They stop working randomly like there's faulty wiring or something. Connection is via a lightning plug and therefore useless for anything without.
The usbc variant is not good at all. Does not play any audio. I also miss the volume control on the earphones (i always have to reach for the phone for it, it's a hassle!
Highlights
Quality
Love the design, love the comfort of the fit, sound quality, everything.
Great sound for music and also great call quality.
Usually the pause button is the first thing to break, and the usb connection becomes worse over time and eventually fails.
This has nothing to do with the product itself but rather some issues with the phone design, the port.
Price
Decent for the price: i've mainly been using these for in-app calls and recording, youtube/music without issues.
Also pleasantly surprised at the nice sound, sure they're no se846's but for the price they're great.
For the price you cannot go wrong.
I got exactly what i paid for.
Competitiveness
I'll update this review if it deteriorates, but compared to the usbc adapters i had on my old earbuds, this is fantastic.
The sounds are very midrange - no bass or range (no comparison to my over-ear bose that i use while travelling).
And because the main reason i bought this wired-earphone was to experience high quality sound on tidal, although it sound very ... Read More
