Skullcandy Dime 2 vs Dime Earbuds | Which Should You Buy?!

What's up TM Nation?! In this video, I provide you all with an unboxing and review of the Skullcandy Dime 2 true wireless Bluetooth earbuds and compare them to the OG Dime earbuds. The Dime's are on sale at the time of the video for $22.99 and the Dime 2's retail for $29.99. Both pairs feature 3.5 hours of battery life on a single charge, a sweat/water-resistant design, and a case that can charge the earbuds an additional 2 times or so for a total of 12 hours. The sound quality is impressive for the price but you do not get the changeable EQ modes or compatibility with the app with these as you do with some other Skullcandy earbuds. The Dime 2's bring along compatibility with the Tile app for tracking and an upgrade to Bluetooth 5.2. For an in-depth look, check out the video! Thanks for watching!

[@seff8936]

The dimes are the first earbuds I bought, I bought them last year, they are very good. When you put them you do not feel that you have them on they are comfortable and although they do not have ANC with the PNC they have is enough since they cover the ear very well. The sound is excellent, even though they dont cost much. 100% recommended.

Hello there thank you so much for your video you are one of my favorites to look things up on because you reviews are so good therefore I thank you because I bought one of these damn ones for 14 bucks in a resale store in a closeout shop and they're working great and thanks for your your review you're a darn good guy have a great day

I love my dimes, premium sound and durability. I am going to get some Dime 2s on Black Friday weekend when they drop to $20.00

[@bryanramos83]

Amazon Prime has deals rn, but I think on only the first Dimes.

[@TonyRome402]

I am getting the dime 2s as backups for my dime 1s.

[@TonyRome402]

Update, I bought the Dime 2s and can say with confidence, the original Dimes are better. Sound, battery life and overall function. If you already have the original dimes; you are winning.

[@caliconnected_]

I like the dime 2 for the smaller design but it hurts that the SKULLCANDY app doesn’t work with them. I feel like the button is TOO small as well on the buds

[@edgit69]

I got my dimes a.year ago and they are fine for what I use them for. I have left them in my pocket and ran them in the wash twice and still work after letting them dry

[@drazman9]

Thanks for this review, was wondering if the Dime was worth getting, or would suffice as a 1 ear "headset" while driving! I wasn't let down, they do what they were marketed for, which is kinda rare these days LOL!

[@joebenson528]

ta $20-30 range Skullcandy has always delivered for me and the soecs provided is what you should expect for the price. They cut costs where it doesn't matter as much (wireless charging, lower battery, cheap feeling plastic). And even if the battery is lower than pretty much everyone else at $30 10-12hr is more than enough imo. And unlike Apple Airpods I haven't had battery issues after ~300hrs of use. Out of 4 Airpod pairs all have had issues at 300 hrs. I have hd this issue with Apple products across the board (Macbook, iphone, ipod) from 2011-2018. Since then I have dumped them for superior brands with sane pricing.

[@drazman9]

@@joebenson528 Tbh Apple is a cashgrab.. wonder why they keep telling you their "usb" solution is better - cause then they don't have to pay for usb-c.. Thx for your comment, I appreciate it!

[@USMC-es4yy]

They have exact same speaker..but I had to get the dime 2 because of the bad ass color "take a ride"!! Also dime 2 have the tile feature..I think

[@andreimora3327]

Great voice bro! Love your way of presenting the comparison👍

[@blindwheels]

I have both the Dime & the Nanopods (Altec Lansing) both are ok, but for noise isolation & sound, I'd definitely choose the Nanopods, which can be regularly be found at Best Buy in Canada for under $30, the Dime 1, are normally around $30 in best buy & some other places.

[@bignoob5462]

In the world of audio sound is preference you can like whatever sound profile you want, whether that's no bass or only bass that being said you captured the sound quailty of the dimes in a great light nice job I got a pair of dimes just as a side gift for myself over Christmas about a month ago, and I love them. Skullcandy products generaly try to have a v shaped profile, with a little extra bass kick and a little extra kick in the top ends. I love the sound profile of the Dime. Mids aren't taking over the show, but they are very nice and clear, the top end is noticeable, and there is a bit of a kick in the bass which I really love. The best way to explain the sound profile is almost neutral with a small kick in bass. It's just great. I've noticed that listening to them for extended periods of time, such 3 hours can make your ear hurt a bit, though that doesn't happen very often. They have great noise isolation, which is nice when I just need to tune out the world and focus on my thoughts while doing work, they're light so I barely notice them in my ears, and they have a great fit and form factor. All in all I love my pair of Dime, and I don't think you can get any better for this price point. The Dime 2 is more or less similar. They're basically just a spec upgrade, adding in tile support to find lost earphones and future proofing bluetooth. That's the only difference, and I think it's worth the like $5 extra. I agree with the verdict of this video. If you have Skullcandy Dime already, don't go out and buy the Dime 2, since it's not worth it. If you are looking to buy some cheap true wireless earbuds though, and you don't have anything else, the Dime 2 is a definite win.

[@bijitachoudhury2759]

Thanks bro !! I got more information about this earbuds from you !!

[@TonyRome402]

I agree with everything you said; just one more upgrade for the dime 2 is they now have a battery 🔋 saver feature for when they are out of the case and you are not using them. Personally the upgrades are not worth the extra money if you already have dime 1s. I am getting a pair of dime 2s just to have a 2nd pair

You would have to pair them together (they may automatically, I'm not sure). But I don't see why they wouldn't be interchangeable.
