Excellent Ear Buds, Even Without the Price!
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. 8/10Tile 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. 6/10Build 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. 8/10Overall, 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.

Not perfect, but still great earbuds at an affordable price
At this price point, I expect to be making tradeoffs on earbuds. The Dime 3’s aren’t perfect earbuds, but they’re almost perfect for me. I have other earbuds that I really like, including ones that cost significantly more. But these are now my go-to everyday buds.First off, they’re extremely comfortable. This is a personal thing, of course, but these are the most comfortable earbuds that I own. I have narrow ear canals and the design of these is perfect. I think what makes the difference for me is that the nozzle where the silicone tips attach is oval rather than round and that works better for me. The buds are very small and lightweight and they stay securely in my ears. I can basically wear these forever without them becoming uncomfortable.Related to that, they seal really well and I don’t actually miss ANC much at all. I’m sure there are situations where I would want to go for my ANC buds, but in everyday use, these are sufficient. I spent a while a walking around the Mall of America on a very busy day with these earbuds and could listen to my music just fine without any ANC. Related to that, transparency mode also works well. When I turned it on at the Mall of America, I could carry on a conversation just fine and it really didn’t feel like I was wearing earbuds, but it still took the edge off the noise. As someone with some noise sensitivity issues, this matters to me.The big selling point for me is that the case attaches to my keychain. I always have earbuds in my bag, but sometimes I want to just grab my keys and my phone and go. With these earbuds, I can do that, and have them handy if I noise is getting to be too much for me, or I just want some tunes. The case is about the same footprint as my car fob and about twice as thick. It’s a little bulky in my jeans pocket, but fine in a jacket pocket. On first inspecting things, I was a little worried about the lid popping open, but it hasn’t happened. I’ve had these on my keychain for several weeks now with zero problems.Of course, these are earbuds, so it matters how they sound, and they’re good! They don’t have the bells and whistles of more expensive earbuds, like custom EQ, but the sound is good enough right out of the box that I don’t really care. I have better-sounding earbuds, but these still punch above their price point.The Tile functionality was a selling point for me (because they’re on my keychain with my house and car keys!) and I think it’s not worth it. First, the sound the make is pretty quiet, so it’s not useless, but only useful if you’re in the same room. More importantly, using the Tile functionality drains the batteries. The battery capacity is fine, but not stellar, but if the batteries are drained after just a few days of non-use, it defeats the point of having the these earbuds on my keychain. As a result, I deleted the Tile app from my phone and reset the earbuds, so hopefully the battery will last longer.Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons for me and I really love these earbuds. Not perfect for everybody, but I do recommend them if your needs are similar to mine.

Llevo 3 meses usándolos y esta es mi opinión.Lo bueno* Son muy pequeños y prácticos, los suelo llevar en la bolsa del pantalón, me atrevo a decir que son un poco más pequeños a comparación con las llaves de un carro* Compatibles con la app “Tile”, sirve para encontrar tus audÃfonos en caso de que hayas perdido uno de ellos, o ambos y me aparece que incluso la caja donde los guardas te ayuda a encontrarla*Nivel de volumen aceptable*Calidad de música buena para unos audÃfonos de este precio, no se le puede exigir más. Bajos presentes pero un poco deficientes, en lo personal hay manera de ecualizarlo y colocar el “Bass mode” Y solo aumenta ligeramente los bajos*Resistencia al agua y sudor garantizada por su certificación IPX4 (Ojo, solo a salpicaduras, no a sumergirlos al agua)* El modo “Stay Aware” amplifica un poco más el ruido exterior para que puedas escuhar voces y carros, es muy notorio cuando pausas la canción, podrás escuhar el entorno de mejor manera sin quitarte los audÃfonos pero poniendo pausa a tu canción.*Carga de la baterÃa es excelente, he estimado que la caja de 0% a 100% esta en 50min. Aproximadamente o un poco menos* Estetica y comodidad. Me pareció excelente, me ajustaron a la perfección no me cansa traerlos un para de horas o incluso másLo malo*Botón fÃsico, no es un botón touch, puede ser molesto para aquellos no acostumbrados al botón fÃsico, es raro pero te acostumbras*Comandos con el botón del audifono: tienes comandos para subir y bajar volumen, encender y apagar el audÃfon, encender y apagar el lodo “stay aware” incluso para cambiar el tipo de ecualizador pero NO PARA CAMBIAR O REGRESAR LA CANCIÃN, eso sà me quedo a deber ya que es para lo que uso más los comandos de botón de los audÃfonos.* BaterÃa un poco deficiente pero esperada para el precio de estos audÃfonos, NO es terrible pero estoy acostumbrado de baterÃas con más capacidad. Si eres una persona que no usas demasiado los audÃfonos y los dejas guardados en algún cajón o por ahÃ, sabrán de lo que hablo, tendrán que cargar los audÃfonos para tener su carga máxima. Si los usas con recurrencia probablemente los tengas que cargar cada dia o cada 2 dÃas.ConclusiónSon excelentes audÃfonos calidad precio, útiles para el dÃa a dÃa, no les exijas mucho, en lo personal lo único malo es que no hay un comando para cambiar o regresar la canción.Tienen buena baterÃa para el dÃa a dÃa, se cargan rápido, son compactos, la goma aÃsla bien el ruido exterior, tienen una muy buena calidad de sonido para el precio, están estéticos y certifican resistencia al agua y sudor (sin sumergirlos al agua)Como dato extra los tome en una buena oferta y si valen la pena si no tienes audÃfonos inalámbricos y buscas algo barato y bueno para el uso diario, además fue una excelente idea colocarles ese lazo naranja para poderlos traer de llavero pero sobretodo encontrarlos, ya que luego los negros en ciertas situaciones no se ven por el mismo color y su tamaño

I go through ear buds pretty frequently because I’m using them constantly through the day and so far they’re really good for being inexpensive- comfortable, battery lasts the majority of the day and recharges fast. Sounds quality isn’t anything phenomenal or life changing but they get the job done and still sound good overall

Recebi o produto rápido. Veio bem embalado. O produto está funcionando perfeitamente. Gostei bastante dos fones. Tenho dificuldade de encontrar um fone que se adapte ao meu ouvido sem ficar caindo durante a atividade fÃsica, mas esse se adaptou muito bem.

The Skullcandy earbuds are something iâve been looking into for a while and i thought I would give it a shot. They have good noise cancellation and a very clear sound as well, but bass is pretty solid but it isnât the best if you like really deep bass. it comes with controls on the side so you can skip tracks, turn up volume, turn down volume, previous tracks, ect. The Skullcandys also have a built in mic for calls so you can keep you phone in your pocket while on a call. The earbuds will feel like they fall out a lot but if you start to wear them they will start to stay in place and the earbuds also come with some different size tips too. Charging wise they are very good 3 and a half hours of charge and the wireless case will give you a bonus 8 hours so they will last you a week. charging cable is using micro usb but it does the job. A con is the charger is very very small but you can get a longer micro usb cable. the charger also connects to a AC adapter. The Dime 2âs also can be used by a âtileâ app to track them if you ever lose them which is a very helpful feature. The earbuds will make a sound so you can locate them easily. Over all this earbud is worth the money and it is really good for a everyday earbud
