JIB True Wireless Earbuds by Skullcandy review: Major issue after a few weeks

Review about the JIB True Wireless earbuds by Skull Candy. They offer great value but I ran into an issue with the right earbud after only a few weeks of usage. Not sure if this is a common issue issue or its rare. Hopefully Skullcandy stays true to its two year warranty!!

[@techmobilemore]

Update: It has been a couple months since making this video and the volume issue with the right pair seems to come and go. Sometimes they work fine and other times they do not.

[@luckyshelly105]

I bought a pair yesterday sound was great 2 hours later the right one stop working completely and now wont pair AT ALL very disappointed....

[@michaelbiel7473]

I just watched this video and I had an idea, so I took the rubber off and took a knife and popped the little screen out and it works amazing now

[@Sunshinelovelystar]

The left one stopped working and I can’t get it connected at all

[@raygamealt]

i just wanted to say i know what the problem is i had it to but i fixed it its the filter if you remove that then it will sound good again

[@maricsaresendiz2210]

To pair them to each other: Disconnect earbuds from all devices and turn off bluetooth. Take them out of the case. Once they start to blink red & blue rapidly press both of them 4 times. They will then start to blink slower and they should connect to each other. Hope this helps!

[@KiCkiN828]

thank you so much. finally i have 2 working buds

[@Electroniczdoodz]

I have the blue pair of these. One side blinks red and blue rapidly, while the other blinks red and blue slower. I’m so angry. I use these for my computer because I can’t wear gaming headsets.

I have the same problem now the only way I got it to charge was to hold it on the little charging port it goes into and the red light turns on

[@userherelolhaha]

Just happend today. Left one wont connect. Turns on fine tho

[@caddddeee]

I don't know if someone's gonna read this, but, what kind of bluetooth earbuds would you recommend that can have quality, noise cancelling (if it's possible) and are kind of cheap? Or at least, which are the ones that you can say that lasted the most and were the best for you? I had these exact Jib True 2 twice. The first ones just randomly stopped charging, so I changed them. With the second ones happened the same, but watching a video, I got to know that it was something with the charging port so I could fix it. I was going on the bus today, and of a sudden, the right earbud just disconnected. It didn't charge and wasn't responding at all :( right now, it just randomly turned on. They're amazing earbuds from my experience, I've loved the quality with the sound, but they have lots of problems. I just hope they can last a little bit more.

[@carbonoxygencarbonpotassiu512]

I have a problem to where my phone is considering my pair completely separate devices and I can only connect to one and have quality audio at a time. Of i connect to both it sounds like they're underwater. The right one is even trying to pair which only the left one should be able to do. Please, does anyone have ANY tips? I've reset my phone, unsynced and resynced the pair countless times. I've charged them and made sure BOTH were charging and nothing is working. Is there anything I can but give up or trash them?

[@techmobilemore]

Wish I had a fix for you but have never encountered that problem before.

[@dundalkmacgyver800]

Just got a pair of these as a gift. Trying them out and so far so good. I don't expect them to be as good as the Sesh Evo's that I gave my wife for Christmas a couple years back. Those ones are good.

[@06charliedia]

These things stink. You have to constantly keep your eye on them because they rarely charge correctly. Half the time you’ll get one to charge right and the other will half charge if you’re lucky. 0 stars lol. I paid $30 bucks and I feel like I got ripped off for $29 of it lol

The sound out of them is great, the volume is also good as well. But mine had issues out of the box, the right side didn't really hold any charge at all and would turn off all on it's own. So I'm returning mine and going to probably buy something nicer

Yeah I really liked the sound quality too, especially for the price.

Go into the media output that should show the volume levels per side. You can also sync the to buds together to avoid this problem where the one side volume is lower than the other

here to see because I just got mine and charged it before using, the right side could not even charge or turn on at all, and it's brand new! That's the problem!

[@neonblack499]

Ive had these for probably 3 months, left ome ear bud out by accident and now the case can only charge with them out and it dosnet charge my headphones. Waist of money. 2nd pair of skullcandy pods ive gotten. Sesh eve sucks too. Both open in the case by themselves. Sesh eve you need BOTH BUDS OUT TO USE BOTH. Meaning IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ONE BY ITSELF IT WONT WORK. Jib was cool untill they broke for no reason after less then 3 months of having them. Not worth it in my opinion

[@devonbelill8075]

Someone on this thread said how to fix them m. It really works. Mine have worked fine since I bought them like 8-10 months ago. But the sound is great I just couldn’t get them to pair together. …. I GOT IT TO WORK! This is what you do. Let the earbuds both die individually once they are both completely dead put them in the charging case with the charging case on the charger before taking the earbuds out make sure they’re completely turned off hold the button for 10 seconds on both of them once they’re turned off at the same time simultaneously press the button on the side of the earbud with both earbuds four times each and take them out at the same time and remember to (disconnect your Wi-Fi and forget the device before doing these steps). After pressing the bottom on each side 4 times while still in the case they will both blink red then blue after you can take them out abs connect to your wifi and this will sink together

[@thatfast3002]

[@shivzino1900]

Hello Everyone, I had a similar problem however my right earbud completely stopped working & turning on, I noticed that many other people had the same problem and I figured out a fix that worked for me. (Make sure you have Bluetooth off and unpair your earbuds from the device you're using before doing this. 1) Put your earbuds back in the case and charge them. (I done this overnight) 2) Take the earbuds out of the case and wait for both earbuds to completely turn off. 3) Touch and hold the button on each earbud for 10 seconds. 4) Sync and Reconnect your earbuds back to your device and the earbuds should work (It worked for me so apologies if it didn't work for you) I hope this helped. 👍
