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.

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 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.

Skullcandy delivers small compact ear candy. These ear buds are pretty ingenious. They created a carrying case that can be part of your key chain or carabiner etc... Setup was super simple. Charged for a few hours then I realized I only plugged into the case because I forgot to remove the protective tape on the ear bud contacts. Then I really really charged it. I have the app already and I have an account setup already so no need to redo that. After opened app I connected the buds by following the prompts and I was in. Software allows a lot of flexibility and dynamic customization. Sound quality is great... Sound suppression is great. Pass through is good. Ear bud feel is nice. Comes with 3 sizes. Small medium and large. Installed is medium. Medium was fine with me. Sound is nice for buds. Also various controls and functions are easy to use. Battery life is decent... Dual device connection is a plus. Note only 1 device can use the app. The other secondary device only audio/mic use. App use is easy and straightforward. All good.

I have a lot of ear buds. I recently spent a few days using the Skullcandy Dime 360 ear buds. The claim on the box is “Clip It & Rip It”. How did they do? Let’s find out. For starters, they don’t come in a typical storage case. They come in a 3.5-inch-tall rectangular charging case. The bottom of it is kind of pyramid shaped and houses the USB-C charging port. The top has a short, webbed strap connected to a circular clip. T8ere is a spot on the clip where you apply pressure to open the clip and you can then attach it to whatever you want. A logical choice would be a belt loop on your pants. The sides are a semi-transparent gray plastic that slide down to reveal the ear buds. One advantage of this is that you can see the ear bud lights through the case to know if they are fully charged or not. The outer case clicks into its closed position and seems unlikely to open by accident. The labels showing “L” and “R” for the ear buds are a glossy finish on an otherwise dull plastic. That make it difficult to see which is which, even in normal lighting. A bright color would have been far more effective than the printing that they used. There also are no labels on the ear buds themselves, stating which is left and which is right. They need to fix those issues. They went into pairing mode automatically and it was a quick setup on my android phone, including installing the Skullcandy app. It installed a firmware update and allows you to register them right away. Looking at the ear bud screen, it starts with a volume control and a graphic showing the power level of each ear bud. This is followed by an equalizer. The equalizer has 4 presets: Music, Podcast, Bass Boost and Custom. In Custom, you can adjust the audio in 5 ranges, making the sound fit your likes. Next, they have “Adjustable Stay-Aware” which you can toggle off and on. When it’s on, you can adjust how much outside sounds are amplified, so you know what is going on around you. It’s not using noise cancellation, but rather amplifying external sounds. I found this necessary, because you can’t hear anyone around you, even with no audio playing while wearing the ear buds. They then allow you to customize the buttons. You can change the action of 1, 2, or 3, presses on each ear bud or a 1 second hold. You can also adjust latency, setup multi-point pairing, setup access to you phone assistant, and read about their “Clear Voice Smart Mic” technology.( This is basically an AI technology to isolate your voice and reduce background noise.) As far as the ear buds themselves, I like them. They provide 3 sizes of the rubber ear pieces that go in your ear. I like the medium size as it is comfortable, and doesn’t move around in my ear. I can move around and be active while wearing them, without fear of them falling out. I would put the sound quality at a little over average for an ear bud in this price range. The software is a big part of the package and shines where it needs to. The case is unique but very usable with the exception of the labeling. It’s very easy to clip it to your pants or a buckle on your backpack I’ve listened to them at full volume, and they can definitely “Rip It.” I guess that “Clip It & Rip It.” Is pretty accurate.

The Skullcandy Dime 360 earbuds are a great choice for those looking for simple earbud set with a convenient case. Note these buds do use Bluetooth v5.3. Unboxing and setup was a breeze. The earbuds came in a small box which you simply pull open revealing the buds, case and extra earbud pieces/sizes. My next step was downloading the Skullcandy app which will take you where you need to be for the rest of setup. Once you are done here you are ready to go! Both the earbuds and carrying case hold a charge. Combined they provide a 28 hour charge which is low although enough in this category of earbuds. The case also supports rapid charge for a faster charging process when you only have minutes to spare and need a quick power up before you go. 10 mins of charge lasts 2 hours. The buds hold 8 hours each and the case advertise 20 hours. For those new to this, the case will charge the buds when placed inside. Back to the app: the app is a good way to control your earbuds and also be alert for updates, support and new Skullcandy products. The app will allow you to adjust the eq, check battery levels and adjust outside (of your earbuds) noise levels called adjustable stay away. Essentially you use the microphones in your buds as away to hear your surroundings while using the buds so you’re aware of your surroundings. Perfect for running, outdoor activities, and work. The app also allows users to adjust the buttons on your earbuds for play, pause, skip, etc. The buds perform well and while they are not considered premium they still offer plenty of robust sound and performance. Music sounded good and my Bloomberg Radio was clear and crisp. The earbuds are not equipped with ANC (active noise canceling) but have a “noise isolating fit” meaning the rubber earpieces help block out sound but things definitely can still be heard. Phone calls and speech to text worked well with the set. One last note: the case is not typical and actually pulls and slides out to reveal the buds rather than opening a lid. The case also has a built in round clip so you can attach it to bags, belt loops, your choice all while providing easy access to your buds. Good hassle free bud set with not your typical case. Perfect for anyone needing to grab a basic set but still have some options for customization.

I have been using this set of wireless ear buds for about a week now. I can say that these headphones are pretty middle of the road. They are not bad quality but they certainly are not high quality. I have used these for mowing the lawn and working out and have done the job adequately but have not blown my socks off. This point of view boils down to 2 primary reasons; button sensitivity and sound quality. The way the earbuds are design is standard, buttons on the side that face outward when in-ear. This is fine and dandy but these buttons are overly sensitive in my opinion. I have found myself needing to adjust the fit and end up brushing my finger against the button and skipping my song and podcast. It feels that you hardly need to touch the side in order to hit the button. Slighty annoying to say the least. The sound quality is middle of the road, the base if there but not overly audible and the treble is the same. The volume's max is overly quiet too in my opinion. While in the gym working out I can easily hear background music and voices etc. I understand that these are not noise cancelling but between the inner ear fit and the lack of volume it just doesnt satisfy what I am looking for. On the other hand, the charge case is pretty slick. The earbuds snap into place and then get pushed into the charging dock/case and then charged via USB C. I like this design because there is no doubt in my mind that the earphones will fall out. All in all, if you are needing a very standard set of earphones that have few bells or whistles then this is the choice for you. Inner ear fit will vary from person to person but overall checks the box.

Skullcandy Dime 360's are a pretty cool with the "clip it and rip it case". From opening the package to connecting to my phone and computer I was rather impressed with the audio quality as well as the phone call quality, so was my counterpart while testing the mic on these via the phone, the audio clarity was great, they presented a clear and present voice, very easy to hear on both ends during a phone call. The earbuds can connect with the Skullcandy ios app (at least that is the phone and app I tested on these), but for me it took quite a few tries and troubleshooting to get them synced up, but once I did I had a few more options that made these earbuds even more enjoyable (customizable button presses + eq adjustments), I would recommend hooking them up to the app, in the end it was worth it. pros battery life - up to 8 hrs + 20hrs from case rapid charging - 10 mins => approx 2hrs of playtime clip it and rip it "case" - wear case on keys or belt loop for quick access multple ear tip size - s/m/l tips bluetooth 5.3 skullcandy app support - custom eq modes - adjustable stay-aware - custom button settings (1, 2 & 3 time press + 1 hold, customized per side (L/R) - multippoint pairing [pair with two devices at once] Google Find my device cons No true ANC, rather a passive noise isolation Initial Skullcandy app connection can be a bit tidious (took me 30 minutes, multiple resets, reconnects, restarts, to get paired correctly, once I did it was fine, but I did struggle) No charge cable included Overall, these are snug fitting, clear and good sounding audio earbuds, that also work well with phones. The convenience of having 20hrs of portable charge time with the case, and cool look of the Skullcandy line, I would definitely say give these a try.

For the price, the Skullcandy Dime 360s do exactly what I expect them to do: sound decent and stay in my ears. The audio quality is perfectly fine for everyday use: podcasts, YouTube, music while running errands—and the fit is about what you’d expect at this value level. They’re not trying to compete with expensive audiophile sets, and that’s honestly okay. The real win for me is the cylindrical case. I used to have a much more expensive pair of earbuds from a brand that starts with “M” and ends with “orola” that came with a similarly slim case, and I’ve missed that design ever since. Having this little tube instead of a chunky square or rounded brick makes a big difference in real life: it slides into a pocket without feeling like you’ve added a rock, and in a backpack it takes up very little horizontal space in a pocket. That shape alone makes these feel more practical than a lot of bulkier cases, especially if you carry multiple gadgets and cables already. I’m not buying these for the fanciest features or the most detailed soundstage; I’m buying them because they’re small, usable, and easy to live with. If you want budget earbuds that sound good enough and come with a case that doesn’t fight your pockets or your bag, this little tube of earbuds is a really really nice option. You'll love the case! RECOMMENDED!

The Skull Candy Dime 360 comes with a clip that your able to attach to a keychang, backpack, jean belt loop, etc. Your able to charge the earbuds by inserting a usb charging cable. What I like about this case is that it has rapid recharging to get a least two hours of use time under 10 minutes. With a full charge you can get up to 8 to 20 hours depending upon if it is in the case charging. The battery life can hold up to eight hours out of the case. This is my first time testing earbuds that are not bone conductors or have ear buds. These particular ear buds offer a snug fit. They came with 3 different types of tips, so that your able to select the one that best fits your ear. I took off the ear tips they came with and selected the larger size so that they wouldn't fall off. The ones selected fit secure and I could hear great quality of sound. Since I am not use to this, and this is a new experience for me, I used one earbud only for the first time, and then added the second one. I do tend to sweat a lot during the summer, and the earbuds did not fall out of my ear. So that was nice. Also, like that it comes with water resistance, which is important. Overall I would recommend this product for people that love earbuds and yes I would recommend them to a friend.

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.

These headphones are perfect for wireless connectivity wth your phone. First, using them on phone calls are super easy and sound great. Crystsl ckear voice comes through on the other end. I also asked several people who were on the other end of the line how I sounded. They all said the same thing that I sounded really clear and they could not tell I was using ear buds. Shifting to listening to music, these sound wonderful. They have great bass and the overall volume is very loud They have nice features to play the same song again or skip a song wth just a two on the ear bud. The range is very good where I have walked around my house and never lost connection. The case charges so when you take the buds out and place in the case they will charge. Battery life is very good where I have used these for days at a time without charging. Very compact to carry with you in your pocket or backpack so you can always have them with you. I have tried several other brands of buds and these rate toward the top.

When I first picked up the Skullcandy Dime 360 wireless earbuds, I was not expecting them to compete with premium earbuds costing three or four times as much. My expectations were simple: I wanted a compact pair of earbuds that I could throw into my pocket, use during my commute, wear at the gym, and not worry too much about damaging or losing. The first thing I noticed was just how incredibly small they are, the ear buds that is. The charging case is a bit long, it does disappear into a jeans pocket and is light enough. The selling point is the integrated clip that is more useful than I initially expected, making it easy to attach the case to a backpack or keychain instead of digging through my pockets. You can also clip it in your belt. For someone might be constantly on the move, this is one of the Dime 360's strongest selling points. Pairing the earbuds was quick and uncomplicated. Bluetooth connectivity felt stable throughout my daily use, and switching between my phone and laptop was surprisingly seamless thanks to multipoint pairing. This is a feature I normally associate with more expensive earbuds, so I appreciated seeing it included here. The earbuds also reconnect automatically after being removed from the case, which made everyday use feel effortless. Comfort was another pleasant surprise. Because the earbuds are so lightweight, I could wear them for extended listening sessions without experiencing much fatigue. They stayed securely in place during walks and light workouts. I never felt like they were going to fall out, although achieving the right seal with the included ear tips made a significant difference to both comfort and sound quality. This is a special shout-out to the company as Skullcandy buds have always fit my finicky ear canals and lobes way better than some other brands out there. Sound quality exceeded my expectations—but only after I adjusted those expectations to match the price. The Dime 360 delivers the energetic, bass-forward sound signature that Skullcandy has become known for. Hip-hop, EDM, and modern pop tracks sounded lively, with enough punch to make workouts enjoyable. Bass never felt weak, although it occasionally overshadowed the midrange on busier recordings. The app has EQ with 4 presets that you can fiddle with. Vocals remained reasonably clear, but they lacked the richness and detail I hear from more expensive earbuds. Acoustic music, jazz, and orchestral recordings exposed the earbuds' limitations. Instrument separation was not particularly impressive, and the soundstage felt narrow, making complex recordings sound somewhat congested. Audiophiles looking for analytical listening will almost certainly want something more refined. However, for casual listening, podcasts, YouTube videos, and streaming music, I found the overall sound enjoyable and perfectly acceptable for the price and the price again, is the major selling point. One feature I genuinely appreciated was the Stay-Aware mode. While walking outdoors, it allowed enough environmental sound to pass through that I could remain aware of traffic and conversations without constantly removing an earbud. It is not as sophisticated as the transparency modes found on premium earbuds, but I found it practical and useful during everyday activities. However, the sound quality becomes a bit too muffled in the aware mode. Unfortunately, not everything impressed me. The physical button controls quickly became one of my biggest frustrations. Over time, I memorized the controls, but they never felt particularly intuitive. Battery life proved to be adequate rather than exceptional. During normal use, the earbuds comfortably lasted through my workday with occasional breaks, and the charging case provided enough additional power that I rarely worried about running out of battery. Rapid charging was especially convenient when I forgot to recharge overnight. Even a short charging session provided enough playback to get me through the rest of the day. Call quality was another mixed experience. Indoors or in relatively quiet environments, people on the other end of my calls could hear me clearly enough. Once I stepped into busy streets or windy conditions, however, the microphones struggled to isolate my voice from background noise. While the built-in voice processing helped somewhat, these earbuds are clearly designed with music listening as their primary focus rather than professional voice communication. Without ANC, the earbuds rely entirely on passive isolation, which works reasonably well for reducing conversations and office noise but does little against low-frequency sounds such as airplane engines, buses, or trains. The lack of ANC is not a big gripe and is understandable given the price, yet they remain noticeable when compared with competitors that include companion apps and ANC at only a modest premium. After spending time with the Skullcandy Dime 360, I came to view them as a product that knows exactly what it wants to be. They are not designed to compete with flagship earbuds, but instead, they focus on portability, simplicity, durability, and affordability. In those areas, they perform remarkably well. Their compact size, stable Bluetooth connection, comfortable fit, and energetic sound make them enjoyable everyday companions. At the same time, I could not ignore their shortcomings. The awkward button controls, lack of active noise cancellation, modest microphone performance, and average soundstage remind me that these are budget earbuds. None of these issues are deal-breakers individually, but together they define the boundaries of what this product can realistically deliver. Word of advice: don't buy these to use on everyday phone calls. These are best for music and with the great fit, these are wonderful during runs and walks. Looking back, I would happily recommend the Skullcandy Dime 360 to students, commuters, gym-goers, or anyone looking for a dependable pair of wireless earbuds without spending a significant amount of money. They deliver excellent value for their price and successfully prioritize the features that matter most for casual everyday use. However, if my priorities included premium sound quality, customizable audio profiles, superior call performance, or industry-leading noise cancellation, I would consider investing in a more expensive pair.

For me, being able to switch between devices as easily as possible is very important as I change between my work laptop and tablet quite often for video calls. With that, having earbuds that include multipoint functionality for having two active device connections when they are in use is key for me. As a newer pair of my favorite brand started having issues with keeping a charge above 70%, which drains the charging case extremely quickly without keeping it plugged in (and right after warranty expired) and the fact they no longer produce wireless earbuds, I was needing to find a replacement. Seeing the updated design of the Dime 360 (all in-ear, no part hanging down) with multipoint, I decided to give them a try. Starting with the case, while it shares a design with a couple other lines of their earbuds, it is not a normal design compared to what I am used to. Instead of flip-top (or just open-air) case to place them in, it is a 1" x 1" x 3.5" box tube. It is opened by pulling on the tab/carabiner at the top while holding the outer shell, which does take some effort to get it to release (and close, which is mostly good as it shouldn't fly open on its own, but if needing to open and close it a lot throughout the day can be a little bothersome). This pulls out the storage area with the earbuds on opposite sides. The earbuds are held in place with magnets (so won't worry about them accidentally falling out of the case right away if it somehow pops open). One thing I'm not quite fond of is that the right one is stored with the ear-gel up, so it has to be twisted to/from normal position when pulling out or placing back in, which is not a huge deal just not what I have been used to with all the top-loaded cases. I would have preferred them also stored pointing down so it is a more natural motion to remove and insert into ear. Also, since this is primarily designed for use on the go where it is connected to something like a backpack, purse strap, or belt loop, working with the earbuds while sitting on a desk or tabletop takes a little getting used to, but not a bad experience. And even though it doesn't need to be closed to charge, I've thought about just leaving it open at all times for easier access, but becoming 6" long, it would take up a lot more desk area than my previous 2.5" case. I can at least only mostly close it, without snapping it closed completely. A nice thing about the case is that the outer slide is actually somewhat translucent, so the charging lights on the earbuds can still be seen when closed. For charging the case, it uses a USB-C port but does not come a cable. The available battery life for the earbuds is pretty decent, with up to 8 hours on a single charge, and up to 28 hours total with the case charging. It also has Rapid earbud charging, with charging for 10 minutes getting it to 2 hours available. The shape of the earbuds can make it a little difficult to work with at first and they can be a little slippery to keep a grip on in the smoother areas. But luckily, it isn't too difficult to remove from the case or the ears, but may take some getting used to finding the best place to grip. When getting them ready to try out, I opened the case and removed them, which starts the pairing process. Connecting to my phone first, it did immediately prompt a recommendation for me to download the Skullcandy app, which I did. After downloading, I ended up having problems with getting the app to add the earbuds. I ended up unpairing, re-pairing, then going back into the app to add a few time, which it did eventually automatically prompt to add them in the app. Afterwards, I went through the pairing process again, pressing the button on either earbud for 3 seconds, to add them to my tablet. One thing I wish could be modifiable is the volume of voice prompts, such as "connected" or "ready to pair" prompts. While not extremely loud, I would like to make them a little quieter. When trying them out using my normal set of "testing" songs (that have the full ranges I listen for when testing out earbuds and speakers), I tried on my Windows tablet first but had some issues with the music app equalizer. When setting values, it would be fine, but closing the equalizer menu caused the music to be distorted. Not an earbud issue (at least I don't think), but it made it undesirable to listen on there. Then trying on my Android phone, with better equalizer settings set to my normal ranges and then setting the mode to Custom in the Skullcandy app and adjusting there (as Bass Boost just wasn't strong enough for me), it was actually very good. While I would say it doesn't have extremely rich bass (which is my listening preference), it did sound really good! There is no Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), and you can tell if you are used to it, but it does naturally block most outside sounds with the snug fit (but not very well if not listening to anything). There is a "Stay-Aware" mode that can be turned on which allows outside sounds through. One thing that I like that I haven't seen with any other earbuds I have is that the volume of the passed through sound can be adjusted. The "Stay-Aware" can be toggled on or off by pressing the left earbud button 3 times, if this hasn't been changed from default. These do have physical buttons, but only need to press at the bottom as it is a rocker button. That way you are not trying to press too hard in the middle to activate the button and end up pressing them too far into your ear (OK, I had to figure that the hard way). There are four control action settings that can be set in the app (single, double, and triple tap along with tap and hold for 1 second) and can be set differently for each ear (for a total of eight). There is also a "both earbuds at once" control, where double pressing both then holding the second press for one second powers them off. One app issue (not an earbud issue) is that it keeps prompting an error message when I go into it because my connected smart watch "does not have additional features in the app" (well, yeah, it isn't Skullcandy brand but does have audio connectivity). After wearing them for a while, they are fairly comfortable to wear. They are a little lighter weight than some of the other earbuds I have, so that is helpful. They do seem that they we will stay in place quite well while moving around. There are 3 sets of ear tips to try if necessary to get the best fit. These are a decently designed set of true wireless earbuds with really good sound and fit with some nice features for a really decent price. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

Skullcandy Dime 360 earbuds are a great addition to my every day work and gym sessions. Here is why I found these earbuds good for my needs. First of all, they are comfortable. The earbuds fit snuggly in my ear canals so that I don't really struggle with any discomfort. Your mileage may vary as your ear anatomy could be slightly different, however there are a few ear pieces included in the box to make sure you get the right fit. These earbuds have very comparable to other brands tech specs: - Compatible app to change your settings and update the firmware of the earbuds (I highly recommend to update) - You get a very reasonable battery life span with these (8 hours in buds and 20 hrs in case) - Rapid Charge is another cool feature I like (it charges quickly, so in 10 mins of charging, it will about 2 hours of play time) - Multipoint pairing and Google Fast Pair (in case you have a few devices like in my situation I have two phones and two tablets - you get a fast pairing option - the device you are currently on recognizes your earbuds and automatically pairs to it) - Call quality when I used it with my phone was crisp and clear, you also get media controls which are also handy. One thing these earbuds are missing is active noise cancelling, if this is something you are after, you may skip it. The case is actually very practical and guarantees you won't easily lose it, I clip it on my backpack and take it with me on my trips to the gym. Earbuds are also sweat resistant, so if you work out, these would be your best companion. All in all, I enjoy using them, they pump great sound, don't get my ears tired and last a while and won't break your bank either.

I've been really impressed with these earbuds, especially considering their size and price. They fit in my ears well and stay in during walks and lower intensity workouts without needing constant adjustment. The charging case is small enough to carry in my pocket, which makes them easy to take anywhere. The sound quality is better than I expected. The bass is full without overpowering the mids and highs, so music and videos all sound clear. Calls have also been clear, with voices coming through naturally on both ends. Pairing was quick and straightforward, and the connection has remained stable without random dropouts. The controls are simple to learn, making it easy to adjust playback or answer calls without reaching for my phone. Battery life has been solid for everyday use, and the case provides enough extra charge to get me through several days before needing to plug it in. Overall, these earbuds offer excellent value for the money. If you're looking for an affordable pair of true wireless earbuds that are comfortable, deliver reliable performance with enjoyable sound, these are an easy recommendation.

So far I’m really enjoying these ear buds! They fit, stick, and offer great sound quality for this price. I love how these are really good at such an affordable price. I can use these everyday knowing I don’t have to be overly cautious of them breaking. They’re really durable and the travel case provides an extra set of protection. I compared these to some pricer ear buds and I’m happy to report they sounded almost as good. People should be happy there’s a cheaper alternative for ear buds than what’s on the market. And this is it! I longer worry about going on a run that it’ll fall out of my ear and get damaged. I also thought it was really easy to pair with my phone! Pros: Great battery life Rapid charge ability - gets almost 2 hours from a 10 min charge! Water resistant Durable Case Easy to pair Cons: No charging cord Overall: Ok, at this price it’s a no brainer. Great pair of earbuds! They’re durable, provide good audio, and charge quickly. Many companies aren’t providing charging cords. Maybe that’s an additional way to keep cost down? Honestly, not a deal breaker if that’s the biggest ding!

I’ve been using the Skullcandy Dime 360 earbuds for about a week now, mostly at the gym, walking around campus, and taking phone calls. Honestly, for around $50, I think they were a really great buy. I’ve been using them every day, and I would definitely buy them again. The best thing about these earbuds is the fit. They have a small, pea-shaped design that feels really comfortable in my ears, and they actually stay in place. I used to have to constantly push my old Apple earbuds back into my ears, especially when I was running or doing anything with a lot of movement. It was so annoying. With these, I can get through an entire workout without constantly fidgeting with them. I’ve worn them while running, lifting, and doing cardio, and they stay surprisingly secure. They also come with three different sizes of ear gels, so you can test them out and find the size that fits your ears best. They are super lightweight too. I’ve worn them for a few hours at a time without my ears hurting or feeling tired. They do not stick way out from my ears either, which I like because I prefer earbuds that look a little more low-profile. Another big reason I bought them was the IPX4 sweat and water resistance. I mostly use earbuds while exercising, so I did not want to be worried about ruining them every time I had a sweaty workout. These are made to handle sweat, light rain, and small splashes. You obviously cannot swim or shower with them, but they are perfect for normal gym use. The sound quality was probably my biggest surprise. They sound better than my old Apple earbuds, especially when I’m listening to music while working out. The bass has a nice punch without totally overpowering everything, and the vocals and instruments still sound clear. They can also get pretty loud, although I usually do not need to turn them up anywhere close to the maximum volume. You can connect them to the Skullcandy app and choose different sound settings for music, podcasts, or bass-heavy audio. There is also a custom equalizer, so you can adjust the bass, mids, and treble yourself. I did not think I would care that much about changing the EQ, but it is actually nice to have, especially if you listen to a lot of different types of music. The controls are convenient too. You can play or pause your music, skip tracks, control the volume, answer calls, and activate your phone’s voice assistant without constantly pulling out your phone. The controls can also be customized through the app. I use these for phone calls pretty often, and the microphone quality has been really good. My friends have told me that my voice sounds clear, even when I’m walking around campus or there is some background noise. The Clear Voice Smart Mic is supposed to help focus on your voice and reduce sounds like people talking nearby, which seems to work pretty well based on what my friends have said. They also have multipoint pairing, which means you can connect them to two devices at the same time. I can have them connected to my phone and laptop, then switch between music, videos, and phone calls without completely disconnecting and pairing them again. That is such a helpful feature for classes and studying. The battery life has also been solid. The earbuds can last up to eight hours on one charge, and the case adds another 20 hours, giving you up to 28 hours total. I have not had to constantly worry about charging them, even though I use them every day. The rapid charging feature is also super helpful for people like me who forget to charge things. Putting them in the case for about 10 minutes can give you around two more hours of listening time. There is no wireless charging, but charging the case with USB-C is easy enough. I really like the case too. It has a clip that lets you attach it to your gym bag, backpack, keys, or belt loop. The sliding design takes a minute to get used to, but once it is clipped onto something, it makes more sense and is really convenient. I do not have to dig around at the bottom of my backpack trying to find my earbuds anymore. There is also a Stay-Aware Mode that lets you hear more of what is happening around you. I like having it while walking around campus or near traffic. It is not the strongest transparency mode ever, and you may notice some wind or background noise, but it is still useful when you need to be more aware of your surroundings. My one real complaint is that this version does not have Active Noise Cancellation, or ANC. The ear gels create a secure seal that blocks out a decent amount of background noise, especially once music is playing, but it is not the same as true ANC. Loud conversations, gym equipment, or noisy air-conditioning can still come through. I knew these did not have ANC when I bought them, so I cannot really complain too much. I just think ANC would make them even better for studying in a loud library, sitting in a busy coffee shop, or completely zoning out during a workout. It is something to consider if blocking outside noise is really important to you. Overall, though, I’m genuinely happy with them. They are comfortable, they stay in my ears, they sound better than my old Apple earbuds, and the microphone works really well for calls. The app, custom EQ, multipoint pairing, long battery life, and sweat resistance make them feel like they should cost more than they do. For around $50, I think the Skullcandy Dime 360 earbuds are a really good choice for students, gym rats, or anyone who wants reliable wireless earbuds without spending a ton of money. I would absolutely buy them again.

These are a good, well-rounded set of ear buds that have a lot to offer for where they sit in the market. The look is mostly muted, color wise, plain, black, and clean. The skull logo is very present however, being on the case (more on that later) as well as each bud. Overall, I like the look, but would like it more with less, or a smaller logo. The sound is clean, balanced, and with a fair amount of low end. There is no active noise control, but they do a good job of blocking out outside noise with a nice fit. I understand that fit is a personal thing, due to ears, shape, and the ear buds themselves, but they offer several tip sizes so I think most should be ok. They fit me very well and I find them comfortable even with extended use. Battery life has been great for me, and I would say the rated numbers hold up so far. 8 in the buds and 20 more in the case. I haven’t really found it necessary to this point, really, but quick charge is always nice to see when I inevitably do (you get 2 hours in 10 minutes). Really, no issues with battery, and I don’t expect there to be going forward. Same with the pairing. It is fast and stable. It is quick, stays connected, and has multi-pair, which is nice add. Now, for the case. I think Skullcandy views this as a main selling point, and I think I can see it. It is definitely a slightly different take than most cases out there. Like most, the buds are held in the case magnetically, but in more of a vertical design, and the case is meant to simply be attached or hung on you or something you carry instead of just thrown in your pocket. Honestly, I kind of like it. It is different and I like the quick access. That said, I could also see how some could not like it. Of course, it can still just be put in a pocket or bag. Just something to think about. Overall, I think these are a solid pair of buds and I think there is a lot to like. That said, if I had one complaint, it would be the mic. People have told me it is hard to hear/understand me…consistently. I am not really even a user of the mic in this way, so keep that in mind if you do a lot of calls on your buds. Ultimately, however, that is really my only “issue,” and I really like these buds. They fit me well, have great battery life, stay connected, and sound good. There are also some nice add-ons like Quick Charge, Google Fast Pair, Google Find My, and some EQ play, that, really, are just nice to see. Especially at this price point. Yes, they are not “Premium” ear buds, but I think most would be happy, and I think they are a great value for all that you get here.

First off - what a cool carrying case. Ever wanted an easy way to carry your earbuds without having to stuff them in your pocket? The Skullcandy Dime 360 has the answer! The small cylinder is about 1-1/4" square, 3-1/2" long and has a split-ring on top to hook onto your key ring (or belt loop or backpack zipper). The bottom of the case has the USB-C plug that lights up while charging. The case opens up to reveal the earbuds which are cleverly marked "L" and "R" so there's never any confusion as to which one is which. The device comes with medium silicone earcups installed, but also has small and large ones as well. The medium worked well for me and provided a secure, comfortable fit. The Dime360 has up to 28 hour battery life (8 for the ear buds and 20 for the carrying case) and a 10 minute quick charge can provide up to 2 hours of play time. The case can be recharged with or without the earbuds so it makes it easy to keep it charged all the time. When combined with the Skullcandy app, you can customize EQ settings - or choose one of the preset ones - music, podcast, or bass-boost. You can also quickly check the charge status/battery life, activate "aware" settings, and customize the button functions. You can also pair the Dime 360 with two different devices. They pair easily with an I-phone but automatically on android devices with "Google fast pair". They're IPX-4 water resistant and have simple button commands for play/pause, answer calls, fast-forward/rewind, as well as "activate voice assistant". Overall, these are some of the most comfortable ear-buds I've used. They sound great and are soooo easy to carry around with you. What a great product!
