Skullcandy - Dime 360 True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds - True Black

The Skullcandy Dime 360’s are wireless earbud setup with a low cost of entry. The Dime 360 comes with the buds, multiple ear tips, short USB-C cable, and the charging case. The ear tip sizes are your basic small, medium, and large. I have owned several pairs of Skullcandy Buds over the years, and they have all held up well for years. I imagine the Dime 360 will follow suit based on my initial time with them. The design of the Dime buds resembles most pebble earbuds. The case is the only real differentiator, and its kind of unique. The case has a ring clip designed to be attached to a bag or a loop on your clothing, so it can be easily carried on the go. The case has an outer shell that the inner core slides in and out of. The inner core carries both of the buds, and the USB-C charge port. The way the case slides apart makes it obvious that attaching the case to something was an obvious priority in the design. It takes a firm pull to separate the shell, which is helped if you have the case attached to something. The buds themselves have a nice shape to them and they sit comfortably in my ears. They are made of a smooth matte black plastic on the top half, and glossy black plastic on the bottom half (area that is in contact with your ear). The outer face of the bud is a physical button you can push. The button’s face has the Skullcandy logo, and red band rings the gap between the outer button and the rest of the bud. The buds come with the standard S/M/L tip sizes – with the M presinstalled. The earbuds have an 8hr onboard life with another 20hrs of life from the charging pack. The buds can quick charge from the case and gain 2hrs from 10 min of charging. It takes 45min to charge the buds completely, and the case take around an hour to completely charge. The charge port on the case has an LED ring that indicates charge level when you plug it in. I would like to have seen the LED light up when removing the buds instead of only when you plug a charge cord in. The Dime 360’s have customizable controls that can be modified in the Skullcandy app. Left and Right buds can carry different controls from each other. The buds can be used solo as well, so if you plan to use just one you might want to consider what controls you assign to each bud. Like most buds the 360’s respond to single, double, triple, and long presses. You can assign track controls, volume, play/pause, assistant, toggling the Stay Aware function. I am a creature of habit, so I customized my control scheme to match the other buds that I leave in strategic places – car, desk, bedroom. I tend to avoid buds that have fixed control schemes. The buttons themselves work well. They have a decent little click, so you know when you have pushed them. These buds are rated with IPX4 which gives you a water splash resistance, so they should hold up for working out, but would not be ok with usage in a pool or shower. The range on the buds is pretty good – I made it about 40ft+ before the connection started to drop. The buds don’t feature ANC, but their fit does pretty well at isolating sound. The Stay Aware mode is almost necessary if you really need to hear anything from your surroundings. Sound quality is better than I expected. I’ve always thought Skullcandy products handled bass well and these are no different. I mainly used the buds at work to listen to music and audiobooks. The app has a podcast EQ which worked really well for my audiobooks. The Music EQ was just for sounds ok to me, but I did prefer the Bass Boost a little more. The fit of the buds really helps with bass production. I did end up picking a custom EQ that spilt between the other 2. I found it to be the best of both worlds that way. Mids and highs come through pretty well, but can seem a little shallow on punchier songs. However, at this price point they sound really good, and I think sound a little better than some of my more expensive buds. The only thing I miss having is a proximity sensor, so if you pull a bud out your music/content will pause automatically. I have gotten burned on that many times, which is very unfortunate when its an audiobook that has been running for 30 min. Overall the Dime 360’s are some good earbuds. I like the way they are packaged with the case – really think people on the move will appreciate the design. Sound out of the buds is pretty solid, and I have no really complaints there. They have a comfortable fit, and the physical button is way easier to live with than the touch-surface buds.

The Good: These Skullcandy Dime 360s are perfect for working out. They provide a very snug, secure fit that doesn't budge or fall off while I’m out on a run, and the IPX4 sweat and water resistance gives great peace of mind. Sound quality is solid out of the box, and a major plus is being able to adjust the EQ to your liking using the Skullcandy app. Battery life is ridiculously good—I did a 30-minute run and it only drained 12% while playing music. The charging case is on the larger side, but it holds plenty of extra charge when you need it. It also features a handy clip that allows you to easily access the buds by pulling them away from where the case is clipped (a design Skullcandy calls "ripping" it). Additionally, when you have a good seal with the earbud fittings and turn the transparency mode off, the passive noise canceling is excellent. I have zero complaints there. The Not-So-Good: The "Stay-Aware" mode is probably not the greatest. While it’s good enough to hear your general surroundings like passing cars, the audio feels distinctly muffled. I still have to take an earbud off to hear someone clearly during a conversation. The default button configurations for the volume controls also weren't my preference, though luckily, you can customize these controls within the app. However, the app connectivity can be incredibly finicky at times. I frequently ran into an issue where my music was playing just fine over Bluetooth, but the app refused to recognize that the earbuds were connected and available. Bottom Line: The price-versus-value ratio is very good for a dedicated pair of workout headphones, especially with the IPX4 rating. I highly recommend the Dime 360s.

I was really surprised by how comfortable with a great sound earbuds at Great budget price !

Again, Skullcandy surprised me with the unique design and affordability of the Dime 360 earbuds. They are lightweight, well-built, and feel durable. The charging case has a unique practical design. Its compact size and built-in carabiner make it highly portable and provide peace of mind by making it less likely to get lost. The package itself is compact and includes extra silicone ear tips, although it does not come with a charging cable. Connecting the Dime 360 earbuds was straightforward and completely hassle-free. They support Multipoint Connectivity and Google Fast Pair, making setup quick and convenient. The Skullcandy app is simple to use while providing helpful tips and essential features, including the ability to enable Multipoint Connectivity so the earbuds can connect to more than one device simultaneously. I tested this feature with several devices, and it worked flawlessly. In terms of comfort and fit, I used the default ear tips that come pre-installed, and they fit my ears and stay without falling out. Even after extended listening sessions, they remain comfortable and did not cause any fatigue. As a music lover, I tested these earbuds across a variety of music genres, and I can genuinely say they exceeded my expectations. While they cannot compete with flagship earbuds, they deliver impressive performance for their price. Vocals remain clear, and the overall sound is well-balanced and enjoyable. Controls on earbuds are clickable and non-touch. I personally prefer physical buttons over touch controls because they avoid accidental touches. The buttons on both earbuds are customizable, allowing me to customize the controls to my preferences. Battery life is another strong point. Along with the other great features the Dime 360 offers, I was able to use them throughout the day without needing to recharge them. These earbuds support fast fuel charging. The earbuds feel more premium than their price, both in build quality and features. It is worth noting that the Skullcandy Dime 360 does not offer Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Instead, it relies on passive noise isolation provided by the secure fit of the ear tips. I found the passive noise isolation to be effective but still does not compete with other earbuds that have ANC capability. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my experience with the Skullcandy Dime 360. They offer excellent sound quality, excellent comfort, reliable battery life, and useful features at an affordable price. I believe these Skullcandy Dime 360 earbuds have excellent value compared to their price.

I am a big fan of Skullcandy earbuds in general. They give a great sound for a reasonable price and usually have a lot of bass (a personal favorite) and great mids. These don't disappoint! They fit well (and come with a variety of earpiece sizes to change if needed). They are comfortable to wear for long periods. The app is great for making custom adjustments. You can select different modes for listening to podcasts, music and my favorite- Bass boost. The water resistance makes it great for exercising in rain (not my thing). While they are not "noise cancelling", they do block a lot of external noise. There is also a "stay aware" mode to allow more external noise to get through. As a woman, I appreciate this mode while wearing in public. It's always prudent to be aware of what's happening around you. The battery seems to last a LONG time. I have been wearing them for some time and have yet had to recharge the case. The buds have an 8 hour span and then the case has 20 hours so you can listen for a long time before needing to recharge. The case itself is light and the "O" ring is handy if you want to clip it to a gym bag or purse. I am not a fan of the overall case design however. If the Skull is right side up when you open it, the Left and Right bud location is reversed. The case does not let you know the power level- not even in the app. You can see the buds charge level in the app but it would be nice to know how much charge the case has as well.
