Skullcandy Dime 2 : Their $30 Budget Earbuds Are Back!

[@godthesonthomas]

Totally exceeded my expectations. The tile built in is mind boggling. Samsung and other brands have tracking features built in as well but for A LOT more money. It’s easy to nitpick about other features but how can you with these? Excellent headphones phones!

i got these last christmas and the sound quality is good for the price, but the truly outstanding quality is the durability. i’ve put both earbuds (not case) through the wash at least 3 times (accidentally), because i always tuck the individual earbuds in my pockets. they still work the exact same as they did originally.

THANK YOU for actually mentioning metal for those of us who listen to it. Every God damn reviewer that does earbuds puts on some easy listening pop rock or hip hop and doesn't even acknowledge metal or rock exists.

[@OfficialGamesky]

No problem, it's what I mainly listen to

[@BeelzeJon]

My exact thoughts, cheers \,,/

[@Thirsty_Tree]

Holy Diver to me sounds like it should. Clean vocals, the guitar is still crisp, good bass for the drums. I’d say metal sounds great on these.

[@SeekerGoldstone]

I think reviewers fail to mention metal because it's not a very useful benchmark. Easy listening garbage is about to have greater dynamics and range of frequencies, as well as providing each frequency more space on the mix. Depending on your setup, you may or may not be able to hear a folk musician's fingers as they move across the surface of the strings, which is a measure of audio reproduction quality. Metal is a wall of sound. It's gonna sound distorted on the best audiophile gear on earth because the original artist maxed out his gain before recording. You won't hear their shirt brush against the mic stand or the resonant harmonics of the bass vibrating the body of the guitar... it is impossible to increase the quality to hear things that arent present in the original recording. It doesn't matter what you playback the DooM 2016 theme on... it's literally a recording of a chainsaw. You may subjectively find more pleasure in it if you get a bigger subwoofer but there is no speaker of high enough quality that it can bring out the subtle resonant frequency of a two-stroke engine... that's just silly. I understand that you are shopping with a very specific application in mind but most people don't have the same application, statistically speaking. Most people aren't here to find out "is it fun to listen to my favorite song with these?"... most people want to know "does it accurately and clearly reproduce sounds?"... because that's how you find out if the earbuds are good as opposed to finding out if they are good for listening to 1 very specific frequency.

[@jimmyostrom9499]

I'm always so impressed on how good you can explain a pair of earbuds it's like having them on my self

[@jacobadams8113]

I was so frustrated at these because they were not charging when I bought them. I thought there were faulty from factory; then I saw the white thing that worked as a barried between the little rods and the charging pod. They died and I didnt notice.

I have been using the original buds and opening in the case is not really a problem I haven’t seen much dust going inside , the sound quality is amazing for me, base is awesome, hard physical buttons are only problem for me. They are so portable You would love them having around

[@autofocusphotos]

I kinda like the physical buttons, because there is no way to accidentally press them, but they can be a little hard to press at times, especially if double or triple tapping them

[@TonyRome402]

I still have the Original dimes and use them more often than my beats and galaxy buds. These sound great and are very durable. I may load up on some dime 2's around black Friday to give as gifts.

[@TonyRome402]

Update. I eventually bought the dime 2 and 3. The 3s are a disappointment, the ones and twos have better bass and balanced sound profile. My favorite of the three are the dime 2s.

[@diegotapia7377]

Love your reviews. Please a little more details for us metal heads that follow your awesome channel. Thank you

[@cheeseballs9726]

I love the look of the dimes and the dime case, but I just hate the battery life. I really hate long stems( Which is why I like the look of the dimes ) but I also hate the look of blocks in my ears to. When they can get the battery life around 5 hour on their own, I think they will have the perfect earbuds for people who use their earbuds longer than a quick bus ride but shorter than a work shift. But I will be buying a pair of dime 2 with a silicone protective case.

[@MichaelJohnson-ij5ei]

I was pretty much going to post the exact same opinion. I love the design of the dime, I'm guessing the design more than anything is why they've been a success for skullcandy. I hate the brick earbuds that poke out a lot, I hate the long stems. It's just missing good battery life, the dime 2 upgrade really should have focused on battery life.

[@midnightstoker4_0]

Oh I'm sure that they didn't want to mess with much like guy said but I'm almost Positive the next set has got to focus on more battery it's just a must my goodness tho these are great the sound quality is just wow for a war bud that's this price

[@Thirsty_Tree]

Picked up some of these at Walmart earlier today for sure enough $30, and I’m kinda blown away. Sure the case it comes in is plastic, but it feels plenty durable for a plastic case. They turn on once you take ‘em out and they sounds pretty damn good! I’d argue better than Raycons, the sound is more balance while retaining good bass and mid range where as raycons are like all bass and nothing else and bloated sounding. Not too much to complain about for me! Only cons I’d say is the seams aren’t super clean on the earbud, a sharp edge was on the left side bud for me, but I borrowed a nail file and fixed it quick. Highly recommend.

[@ml3141]

Since I bought the EarFun Free Mini for less then $20, these in comparison are NOT a good deal. Are they?

[@thiscorrosion900]

I just picked a pair of these up in blue from Target today. They are working fine. Sound isn't bad. My complaint is, why everytime I buy BT phones or IEMs do they not have much power or volume even at max., from my iPHone14? I just got the phone six months ago at most. Do I need to buy a BT amp for these? Or is the power just totally limited from my iPhone no matter what? It's not like the phones have a good robust headphone amp built in, sadly. It kind of pisses me off since I'd love to go wireless more often, but my wired audiophile rig here with a great amp or two, sounds 10000x better and louder of course. I guess for the gym or walking around these are fine, biking, etc. But they really need to be a bit louder.
