Dime 2

I bought a set of Dime Black earbuds about a year and a half ago, if not longer, for working landscaping. As I told a coworker, I bought "cheap earplugs that happen to play music." When I got them, I wasn't sure what to expect considering they were all of twenty bucks, which usually means major compromises in the Bluetooth audio world. However, they blew me away when I put them in and played some music. Everything was fairly clear, even if not as good as a fairly expensive pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones (my other, "leisure" pair is a set of Sony MDR-XB950N1 headphones). Now, this review is going to primarily focus on the Dime 2 because that is what I am using now after replacing the initial set of Dimes (after, erm... Misplacing them.) The first thing to know is these are VERY comfortable earbuds. I typically hate wearing earbuds, especially for long periods. They make my ears itchy and start to get uncomfortable for extended periods, but I would wear these for hours at a time (sometimes pushing the extent of the threeish-hour battery life) and they wouldn't bother me anywhere near as much as others. While I still favor my Sony headphones, those were refurbished and cost five times as much as these earbuds. These are genuinely the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn. To give this a numbered scale, I would put them at overall comfort 8/10, but for earbuds, it would be 10/10. Now, sound quality? I utilize two songs to test any audio - Always In My Head by Coldplay and I Just Wanna Know by NF. The former is great for putting extreme highs and lows at the same time where poorer sound systems will show how cheap they are, and the latter utilizes a lot of mids and bass at the same time that catches where some audio equipment will cheap out on the mids. Both songs were fairly clear. While the bass was okay (in my opinion), it makes up for it with very, very clear mids. They are NOT going to blow you away, but in the realm of this price point? They are phenomenal. 8/10 Tile is a very useful tool that I have made use of. Part of why I ended up buying these instead of something higher-end is that I am very, very prone to misplacing things that are small, and... Wireless earbuds are small. I did not want cables connecting them due to them being very annoying (I tried), and I wanted something cheap enough that if it broke, I lost it, or whatever might happen, I could replace them easily. Tile removed one of these issues - If I lose them, it will both show them on a map and play an audio chime at max volume. I'm going to go ahead and say the chime is useless on these - they are -not- that loud. The map is great for finding a general location if you're a college student or out and about a lot. They can show you where to look and have saved me the price of a new pair on more than one occasion. Battery life is probably the weakest point, in my opinion. But I also admit I am spoiled. The case has enough charge for a few recharge sessions, and the earbuds are approximately capable of three-hour bursts of battery life. While it was rarely an issue, I also had to make sure to recharge them almost every night because during a shift of work, I would use almost the entire charge. The Dime 3's SHOULD fix that based upon the specs on Amazon, but I have no idea how they are. I just know the Dime 1 and Dime 2. 6/10 Build quality is, for the money, great as well. Don't expect metal hinges or anything at this price. However, they feel solid and I have dropped them on more than one occasion and they don't ever seem phased. I did get one set (I may have bought more than one...) where the magnet that holds it closed was not glued properly, and have had one other that kept glitching when trying to connect to my phone (but that also could have been my phone, but if anyone else has experienced this I would love to know!) until I ran it and my phone dead and charged them both back to full. Don't run them through the washer, though. They will not survive that. 8/10 Overall, if you are looking for some inexpensive earbuds that are excellent at blocking sound and great at making (good) sounds, these are the ones to get.

Ok, so there is no ANC (active noise canceling), the sound quality is just ok and the battery life is borderline (good thing it comes with a charging case). But the fact is they are for a 14-year-old, are Bluetooth (so no dorky wires) and kind of look like black AirPods (if one is standing 20ft away). And the price can't be beat. The absolutely great thing about these earphones is the TILE feature in them. I cannot tell you how many pairs of earphones my little one loses but so far, these haven't been lost. Oh, they have been left places like the outside grass at a middle school but with the TILE app and location feature, I just drove to the school and used the search feature and found them. As a parent, you will not regret getting these for your kid.

My Dime 2 Skullcandy earbuds have a solid sound quality, and the earbud shape fits comfortably in my ears. I also like the compact case. My only issue is the volume of the voice prompts. The alerts about connection / disconnection / low battery, etc. is so jarringly loud that it hurts my ears every time. Good pick otherwise. EDIT: I wasn't satisfied with the battery life on my Dime 2 earbuds, so I went ahead and bought the Dime 3 earbuds as well. I like the longer battery life, but I prefer the flatter Dime 2 earbud shape. I can't dicern any sound quality difference between both Dime earbuds. Overall, I'm happy with my purchases and will continue to use both my Dime earbuds. EDIT 2: Had the Dime 2 & 3 earbuds for almost a year now, and I still use my Dime 3's /daily/. I use it /extensively/ and it gets me through most of the day. The case holds about 1-2 full charges and it's fine as long as I don't forget to charge the case. No technical issues (fortunately), and I'm still happy with my purchase. The Dime 2 on the other hand has one issue. Everything works as intended, except the right earbud doesn't hold its charge very well anymore. I can get it to fully charge while charging the case, but the battery drains faster than the left earbud. Overall, the Dime 3 earbuds are my personal go-to. EDIT 3: Well, I guess this is the end. It's Jan. 18th (2026) and the day before yesterday my right earbud for the Dime 3 stopped working (Dime 2's are in the same sitch). The LED lights on whenever the earbud is "charging" but it refuses to turn on when I take it out of the case. Holding down the earbud doesn't turn it on either. The left earbud works fine and I intend to use it until it inevitably breaks down as well. Glad these earbuds at least lasted me a year but I don't plan on re-buying. Overall, not bad for the price but I think it's time to put money into something that'll last longer.

I recently purchased the Skullcandy Dime 2 In-Ear Wireless Earbuds, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. Here’s a detailed look at their performance: Design and Comfort The Dime 2 earbuds feature a compact and ergonomic design that fits comfortably in the ear. Sound Quality The sound quality is impressive for their size and price. The earbuds deliver clear audio with good bass response, making them suitable for various genres of music and podcasts. Battery Life and Connectivity Battery life is solid, with up to 12 hours of total playtime when considering the charging case. The earbuds themselves last around 4 hours on a single charge, which is adequate for most users. Overall, the Skullcandy Dime 2 In-Ear Wireless Earbuds are a fantastic option for anyone seeking affordable, high-quality wireless earbuds. They deliver a satisfying audio experience, solid battery performance, and a comfortable fit. While they may not have all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, they are a great choice for everyday use.

I've been getting Skullcandy earphones since I was in high school, so more than a decade ago. They're solid standby's when I wanted something cheap, readily available, and with decent sound quality. I got these after I lost another set of an older model of wireless Skullcandy earbuds. Shipping was quick, something I needed since I was going on a month long trip. I have small ears so even the smallest ear gel was still a bit big for me. To remedy that, I would switch the buds to the opposite ear and kind of flip it so the tail would be pointing up? It was a trick I learned from my husband and so far it's been working really well and they haven't fallen off as opposed to if I wore them properly. I also only wear one earbud at a time. Even with one in your ear it can get hard to listen to someone else so I don't wear the other to compensate for that. The world is a cruel, cruel place where predators prey on the weak so it always pays to be vigilant specially if others perceive you as an easy target. That or there's a lot of dangerous situations you can easily avoid if you heard it so you don't get blindsided. The connectivity is pretty fast, faster than the older model I had but it interferes with our car's Bluetooth for a bit. My husband has the same model and if it's connected to his phone then tries to connect to the car it doesn't play audio until you turn the phone's Bluetooth off then on. The battery life though. I'm not complaining about the advertised 3.5 hours listening time. It drives me nuts when I only use it for an hour, put it back in it's case, then take it out again when I need it only for it to say low battery after another 30 mins or so of use. It doesn't even matter that it charges in its case because it'll drain fast either way so I have to completely drain the battery until empty then charge it again.

The headphones feel cheap but cheap plastic is not uncommon when you buy cheap headphones. The feel isn't as important to me as the sound which is actually pretty good. That being said one of the reasons I picked these headphones is because of the portability and the fact that you can just clip them onto your keychain. What a super cool and great feature to be able to bring your headphones with you wherever you want..... Except the battery life is trash. The problem with these is that you can charge them and within 2 days of not even using them the battery just drains away and they are dead. So basically you have to charge these every few days in order to use them whenever it's convenient for you and they use a micro USB charger and not a USBC charger so you can't just easily borrow one from a friend or use a standard USBC laptop charger or anything like that. The only reason I bought these was because I had another pair of skull candy headphones that I really enjoyed but accidentally dropped one on the floor of the hospital. No amount of cleaning would make me comfortable putting that back in my ear. These get an a+ for design and a b for comfort and another a+ for portability. But for convenience you might as well just carry wired headphones in your pocke and they would be more reliable and less of a pain in the neck to untangle. Do your research and buy a different with better battery life.

I resisted wireless earbuds for a long time because I love my cheap wired pair that I've been rebuying for years, and was reluctant to purchase something pricy that I could lose so easily. But after accidentally tearing my earbuds out of my ears three times last week because I forgot which order I put on my earbuds, mask, and sunglasses, I broke down and bought these. I'm really happy with this purchase so far, particularly for the price. I can't judge it against more expensive competitors because frankly I'm not an audiophile so I can't really appreciate the sound quality enough to spend a lot on earbuds. My key requirements were as follows, in order: - Price point and/or replaceability: Inexpensive was important but I particularly want to be able to buy individual buds if one goes missing. The Tile feature is a nice bonus over the original Dime and will hopefully further reduce my likelihood of having to pay for a replacement anytime soon. - Size: I have tiny ears and usually struggle with finding buds that fit comfortable and stay in my ears. I have the smallest pads on these and they are comfy while still providing decent sound blocking. I also find they fit my ears a bit better/more securely if I wear them upside down in the opposite ears. - Quiet operation: Might be goofy but I HATE when wireless devices have a talking start up assistant. I don't know why but it's the worst. These have one (unfortunately) but it's at least quiet and the message is short. Since the buds turn on when you take them out of the case, the assistant is usually done talking by the time I actually get them on. - Battery life (sort of): I am sure there are earbuds with longer battery life but the case seems to have plenty to get through a day of use. Maybe I'll wish for longer battery eventually but for now it's fine. - Sound quality: I've had wired earbuds that were cheaper with better quality. But these are wireless so I'm willing to cut them some slack. The sound is still clear and of a decent volume. The bass is good and I don't have to turn them up to max on the train. Overall I think this is a great buy, as long as sound quality is not your primary interest. In that case you may be happier with a more expensive option.

for only 20 dollars these earbuds are amazing. i’ve been using airpods pro for the past 2 years and lost them so i needed a cheap alternative. once i got these the difference was mind blowing. when they first came they weren’t that loud. i had to take off the mesh wax protector to get the full sound quality. it was blocking out most of the sound since i did get these used, but the quality is crazy good. i heard sounds and instruments in some of my favorite songs that i’ve never heard before. the fit was a little uncomfortable, they feel like they’re about to fall out when i’m chewing for example. also don’t know how you’re supposed to attach the little lanyard. it was a little rope that came separate from the case that i assumed you were supposed to feed through the hole on the side, but i couldn’t. no issues with the battery life, case is very small and light as well. the noise cancelation is great as well. would’ve been nice for the controls on the earbuds to be accessible while it’s in the case since you can press the buttons from there, but it’s not much of an inconvenience. there’s a tiny bit of audio delay in the sound and screen but it’s not very noticeable especially if you’re just listening to music. overall 10/10 for the price it’s incredible
