Skullcandy Dime Review | The BEST Budget True Wireless Earbuds?

[@newrisingmedia]

Thanks for watching! Are you picking up a pair of Skullcandy Dimes? Looking for another pair of budget earbuds? Reply to this and let's chat.

[@millenwagon]

My budget pair are the earfun air pro, you need to check them out, they’re genuinely brilliant.

[@drivewayauto9440]

I just ordered some today and they come next week! Im so excited!

[@tshiamomogale26]

Great video 👍 Would you recommend these or the Skullcandy Jibs ? I'm stuck between the 2. Besides the battery life. I feel like the Jibs might be easy to lose and these seem more secure. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated from anymore who's used or owns them. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@DPC037]

Thanks for the vid. Always good to have an opinion. Would love it if you did a review on the Duolink Speakerbuds. I know that they are not budget earbuds, but I want to know how good they are.

[@peaz4033]

[@rogue710]

The minimalistic design with short stems & darker color options is an absolute winner. Not everyone wants long white stems or large black blocks sticking out of their ears, a common design feature of most TWS earbuds in the market right now.

[@newrisingmedia]

True! It was just a joy to use something this lightweight in my ears - did not feel as intrusive as those with a longer stem do.

I picked up a pair for $20 at Walmart and I'm impressed overall. He's right about the microphone. As for battery life I take them to work because I don't have to worry about them being lost or damaged because they are so cheap. I only ever use one earbud at a time so I can hear my surroundings so one is always charging/charged in my pocket.

[@FEEAR1000]

Yeah microphone is decent for calls or Discord, I love them because I finally found a pair that fits/don't fall out and actually stay in while sleeping instead of spending $200 on stupid airpod pros

[@Wild5ive]

I agree I only wear one bud at a time. I have some pretty pricey buds. Not going to put their names out there but 20 dollars compare to 300 is great espresso if one gets damaged or lost.

[@sahililyas125]

Hi, would like to let your know that next time if you want to get a 20 - 30 dollar range wireless earbuds i recommend getting "JLab Go Air Pop" over SkullCandy Dimes because i got skullcandy first and was happy with the features but one of my friends recommended me to get JLabs instead of Skullcandy dimes because JLab Go Air Pop has a 8 hours+ battery life on each earbud, the case which will provide 24 hours making a total of 32 hours+ battery life when fully charged. The JLabs has 3 different build in EQ settings with you can change with 3 tap on anyone of the earbuds, JLabs can get louder than Skullcandy dimes and has touch tap systems which you can use to track backward/forward, double tap on left earbud can activate siri/google assistant, volume increase/decrease, pick up/ hang up and reject in coming calls. I have been using them for a couple of months and noticed that Jlabs can get louder volume without distorting the sound quailty, the calling quality is good for the price range too i had no problems. . . . I will absolutely recommend using JLab Go Air Pop over Skullcandy Dimes.

I bought these as my first pair of wireless earbuds. My fear is if I spend a lot of money on wireless earbuds and loose it, I'd be annoyed. At $30 Canadian dollars, they are a good solution for everyday travel and compare to 10 years ago when Skullcandy Inked wired earbuds were the same price... I think it's a good deal.

[@akrimire9886]

[@mrpotato456]

[@jrod8574]

All these need are: More battery life (10 to 12h) per charge on the earbuds and case. Maybe a total of 42h to 50h on the case with the buds included. Close up the top so there aren't holes. So a subtle bump on the top to cover the buds the way they sit inside. And add wireless charging. I dont care so much for noise cancellation or passthrough etc. Just the way they're designed and full controls like they currently have. Just more battery life and the other things I mentioned. Id buy nearly all the colors if they did this. Oh yeah.....USB-C fast charging. I wouldn't mind spending $59 to $80 on these if they had these things. This is coming from someone that doesn't really like stem style earbuds that much. But this subtle short stem style design is pretty badass I have to admit😎

[@RawFeeding101]

Bought these tonight as I didn’t have a pair for the gym. Found them on clearance from Walmart for $19. Definitely happy with the purchase. 🤘🤘🤘

[@sophiaonyoutube]

i own a pair of these and honestly, I can't complain. i only use them for listening to podcasts and when taking long walks so I don't really mind the battery. i use my wired earpods when studying and during that time, i leave these buds charging to prepare it for my next use. if you're looking for an earbuds that you're only going to use occasionally, then i highly recommend this pair. trust me, it's worth the price.

[@bodyman1109]

I picked up the Skullcandy Dimes after losing my OAN’s. Priced the same but No comparison, the Skullcandy Dimes are way better.

I bought these at a discount, since I too have liked Skull Candy since I was a teenager. For $30, they're okay. Not amazing. Just okay. They connect to anything pretty easily and the sound is okay. If you don't care about noise cancelling or a really long battery life, pick these up.

[@jungleworld11]

I just saw those buds in an electronic store in Berlin two days ago, for 29.99 Euros. A quick check on the internet promised a worthy purchase. And I must say, my first test had a positive result. Good sound for that price, for sure! And I could walk into another room and I still had a clear reception. I usually don't use buds for more than 1,5-2 hours, therefore the relative short battery time is ok, although I would have preferred a better option. And I also would have preferred a USB-C connection. - I haven't yet tried the phone sound quality. But I believe it is supposed to be ok !? - But again: I am sure you can't find a better product for this low price.

This is a phenomenal review. I'm looking at these to replace my Indy Fuels that I broke a few weeks back.

Is there anything you are aware of with a similar form factor but better sound in the sub $100 range?

[@gezi5927]

Soundliberty 94s maybe

[@mrpotato456]

I got mine for 20 quid from lidl, saw it thought "how bad can it be?" Cus the middle of lidl has never really let me down. The sound was perfectly fine, they sounded better than expected but did suffer the lack of noise cancelation. The charging and battery was a realy let down, god knows what conditions they put the earphones in for them to last 3.5 hours but as a person that uses it whenever I go outside and doesn't use it 24/7 the battery life wont be a problem but it could be after a yea or so as the battery deteriorates this wouldn't be THAT huge of a problem but the fact that it isn't USB C makes charging take ages. Earlier today I dropped one of my earbuds and the volumes didn't match but I was able to fix it by turning off on earbud and readjusting the volume but it did get me worried. Would I recommend it for 25/30 quid? Absolutely but as long as you dont expect it to sound like high end ones

Aside from the wireless thing - which to be honest doesn't bother me that much personally - I actually think my current ones are superior in most ways so I'm gonna save a few quid. Thanks again.

about these earphones - i had a pair for about a year and they served me well! however, they fell out my pocket when i was cycling on the road... and got rolled over by a car! however, you'll be shocked to know that an earphone that was in my ear at the time still charged on the charging case! only problem was, the charging port got crushed. overall, these are a very sturdy reliable pair of earphones.

[@brandonholmin5247]

I have a pair of skullcandy indy anc and I like them but I lost the ear hooks and they keep falling out of my ears because of that. I recently bought a pair of the Skullcandy Dime earbuds and they sound ok. I have a pair of the Hesh 2 headphones that I use all the time. I like how light weight the Dimes are and to me they are great to put in my ears and listen to music as I sleep. I recommend buying a pair of the Dime earbuds because there is always room if life fow music and a way to hear it the way you want to.

[@trackie1957]

My new iPhone SE2 doesn’t have a phone jack, so I had to buy wireless buds. I chose these and I really, really wish I could still use my old iPhone earphones. I’m not an audiophile, but I do like music. This is my first pair of wireless buds, so I don’t know how these compare with others, and I’ve not used them for a phone call, but here’s my experience so far - the sound quality is tinny and bass is almost absent - the sound level is feeble. I don’t like my music loud, but I at least want to hear it. Normal conversation nearby drowns out the music - the control buttons are hard to push, and although most commands require several pushes, “stop” only needs one, so most of the time you stop instead of turning up the volume! I resorted to removing the thing from my ear to activate the control button. - speaking of removing it from my ear, that happens by itself. So, I’m disappointed with this product, but I’m more disappointed with Apple for again removing a feature from their device that was useful and reliable. It forces me to spend money on something I don’t want.

[@hugoallain8721]

I had some JLab JBuds Air that broke a bit ago and I need some new wireless earbuds. Do you think I should get these Skullcandy Dimes for £19.99 (in Rymans) or just buy the JLab ones again for £29.99? I'd prefer to save the tenner unless it's a real downgrade. Thanks and great vid!

[@evanfarah4442]

Listening to this one the SkullCandy Dime. I got it for free and paid too much. The sound quality is bad, you can hear the drivers compress when you put them in your ear. They are horribly balanced with high treble and minimal bass with non existent mids. The case is remarkably dumb keeping slots open for dust when the buds are removed and being made of extremely cheap plastic. The charging cable included is useless only to cause system damage to any device it is plugged experience tension on the ports. They have no indication of battery life except and the bud covers loosely packaged in the box do not provide many fit options and they aren’t comfortable.

How is the bass?im a bass guy
