Skullcandy Dime 3 or Smokin' Buds: Which Should You Buy?!

What's up TM Nation?! In this video, I provide you all with my comparison of two budget heavyweight earbuds from Skullcandy, the Dime 3 and Smokin' Buds. Both pairs offer good battery life, impressive sound quality, respectable call quality, and all-around performance for under $40, but the Dime 3 earbuds are packing some features that you won't get with the Smokin' Buds. For an in-depth look, watch the video! Thanks for watching!

[@TecHMoE]

Which pair do you think takes the Skullcandy budget earbud crown👀?

[@lalrinmawiaralte4937]

Dime is the bass good

[@simdencard]

​@lalrinmawiaralte4937 Dime 3's has decent bass, especially in bass boosted mode. I'd say they are easily worth the price.

[@original_sin]

I have both. I like the case and touch controls for the smokin', and the slightly smaller dime size. Sound quality is about the same for both to me. Great review!👍

[@targaryengrinding1057]

do these works on non-iphone devices , on android ???

[@thomaswinter517]

Dime 3

[@Omar_Little]

it is insane that they programmed touch controls to change EQ modes, rather than simple track change.

[@josehemeryth7037]

Thanks for the review! Yesterday I catch a budget on the Dime 1 for about 18 dlrs. I’m going for the Dime 3 but man, I really miss the old days when Skullcandy got some good colorways.

[@SAHILSAM]

Hi boss !!! Watching ur video on my new dime 3 which I just got an hour back...and for the sound test I am watching ur video the very first time...🤟

[@Cyan.enierga]

Love how I'm watching this with the old dime 2's. 2 r still good, can't wait for my dime 3's to arrive

[@merciless972]

Love the touch controls on the buds, they react with a thin beanie and gloves on.

[@khushhalmalhotra341]

Thanks for making this video

[@chinumaya]

Brazy review my brother. Very clear and very detailed review for both. Very well compared. Good one.

[@Hopmad]

I looking to update my Dimes2. They been good to me. I even rely on the Tile feature a lot and they save me many times. Only negative I can say is the Tile sound coming out of the earbuds are extremely weak. Almost useless unless your in close area. Trying to decide over Dimes3 vs MOD , do both have Tiles feature? Is the extra money on MOD worth it?

[@murugesans6150]

Hi, I have dime 3. Initially I didn't like the sound. I use wavelet EQ in android. I set the graphic equalizer to dark and now it sounds very good😊

[@danigamboa2826]

I bought the dime 1 over 1 year ago and they work great for me. I definitely recommend it, they are small, sound good, comfortable, compact and are sweat resistant. The dime 3 are a good update. The Dime area is doing a good job with these headphones. Without a doubt, there are features that are not necessary that help contain the price of these headphones. I will buy it as soon as it arrives in my country.

[@andreic0nwe117]

I also had the dime 1s and they worked even after being rolled over by a car. Great durability!

[@thomaswinter517]

I bought the crusher anc2 on your review, the rail anc, and now I have ordered the dime 3s on this review... you are the skullcandy guy...mahalo

[@rtkami]

between these and the jlab go air pop, what would yall choose?

[@sujalkadam6329]

Helpful video

[@Francescashu7]

Had my dime 3s about 3 months, bass boost mode is pretty great 👍

[@HarshWave22]

i came to hear that dime 3 has less volume on its full ! is it ??

[@augustin939]

that smoke transition on the smoking buds was priceless 😂😂

[@Hari_Prasath_25]

Which one is value for money

[@anticahmed]

Battery backup of these ??

How to change the songs from smokin' buds

[@danielbushta8119]

@TecHMoE Do you know when the Dime3 will be available in stores in the United States?

[@TecHMoE]

I'm not sure, these I ordered directly from Skullcandy since no local stores seem to have them in stock.

[@rufusnotts1972]

@@TecHMoE same here, couldn’t find them anywhere other than skullcandy website and Amazon. Ordered off Amazon and interestingly enough it still shipped directly from skullcandy

[@Hopmad]

Has anyone ever mistaken you for Vince Carter?

[@clerk-555]

Well done

[@kd_edits8031]

Dime 3 buds or smokin buds which is best to buy? In your point of view.

[@AngelMunez]

smkin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DanielRamos-tq7cz]

I got the smokin buds for $20 at wallgreens better than airbuds 9 damn thing came defected and picked up the smokin buds

[@hhnvuokjr634]

Say is the weakest noise of the 3 is lower than the noise of the 1 because I find that in a loud song even the weakest volume is too loud

[@WildWildWeasel]

Smokin buds and the soundpeats free2 classic are my workhorses, and i mean actual workhorses... they see A TON of use and have held up like champs.

[@AliKrk-rr4kz]

smokin buds is it suitable for listening to music and bass?

[@JoePolice]

Which is better sounding tozo nc7 tozo t20 skullcandy dime 3?

[@TecHMoE]

NC7s to my ears.

[@GDx4000]

Left earphone is not charging any solutions

[@VikkiPollard]

Just take out of the case, and hold the button down for about 5 seconds. Put it back in case then it should work :)

[@an_rc_guy8256]

I bought a pair of the smokin' buds back in the summer and really enjoyed them in their comfort, sound, and battery life. Sadly the left bud had a malfunction with the bass driver which killed it for me, I wish I still had the receipt so I could get a new pair under warranty. I think I'll pickup the Dime 3 as I had the Dime 2 and liked them a lot, but wanted the longer battery life and USB-C that the smokin' buds received.

[@32pbay]

You ordered smokin' buds off of the official site or like Amazon?

[@rylford]

My first time seeing an audio device not be able to control audio😅

[@SimpLeeBeth]

See... I think the smaller ones would fit me better. Ugh! Guess I'll just have to get both 🤣😂🤣💯🎧🔊❤

You could have ended the video at, "The Smokin' Buds uses touch controls".

He mentioned that at 3:32. Maybe you would've caught it if you paid attention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
