Customer Ratings & Reviews

Terrible mic reception volume is terrible the fit in ears not comfortable.

I recently got my hands on the Skullcandy Jib USB-C headphones, and they've been a pleasant surprise for their price point. Simplicity & Functionality: These earbuds are as straightforward as they come. Plug them into your USB-C port, and you're good to go—no adapters, no charging, no fuss. They're lightweight and comfortable, making them easy to wear for extended periods. Sound Quality: For budget earbuds, the sound quality is commendable. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the mids and highs are clear enough for everyday listening. Whether I'm streaming music or watching videos, the audio performance is more than satisfactory. Call Quality: The built-in microphone does the job for calls in quiet environments. However, in noisier settings, it struggles a bit, and the person on the other end might have difficulty hearing me clearly. It's not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind if you make frequent calls on the go. Conclusion: Overall, the Skullcandy Jib USB-C headphones offer great value. They're simple, functional, and deliver decent sound quality for their price. If you're looking for an affordable pair of wired earbuds without the hassle of adapters, these are a solid choice.

What an incredible sound from such a small package! The Skull Candy JIB USB-C earbuds produce an amazing sound from such a small device and I was amazed at the amount of bass . The sound is very clear and they reproduce what sounds like something coming from a full-range speaker/headphone. They are designed with a noise-isolating fit that really makes outside noise virtually disappear. The fit is great, very snug, and yet comfortable. Just in case the they're too snug there's a smaller set of plugs included that can be easily swapped out. The simple-to-use controls are located in the right ear cord. One click to pause/play, two clicks to fast forward, and three clicks to hear the previous track. I was surprised to see that they are corded when so many similar products are wireless but with the USB-C connector, they work great with laptops and Android devices. They're IPX4 sweat and water resistant so a heavy workout shouldn't be a problem. What a great product from Skull Candy - only reason I didn't give them five stars was because they're not wireless.

These Old School Wired headphones do the job with my android phone. They provide adequate sound while using but being wired is a little frustrating when trying to multitask. They do have a microphone on them allowing me to take phone calls and have a phone conversation while wearing them. They come with 2 pair of rubber ear adapters to fit to your ear. Overall they are very basic but serve their purpose if you are looking to not spend much. They are black all over and feel nice when inserted in my ear. They are lightweight and the microphone button is easy to use when using it for calls. I'm not sure I would recommend these for work use or every day but more for occasional use maybe when traveling. Skullcandy is a good brand so I anticipate they will hold up well with good care on my part. I will be carrying them with me in my purse as a spare pair of headphones and not worry about them. Overall I think the sound quality is a 7 since they are not high end and not noise canceling-allowing outside sound to be heard.

A funny story. I normally always use Bluetooth headphones, but on a recent flight my AirPods were flat so I couldn't watch Netflix on my iPad. The cabin crew was handing out headphones to use in flight and not thinking, I took them to use on my iPad. Unfortunately, forgot Apple did away with the headphone jack - so I needed USB C headphones! This is where the SkullCandy JIB USB C headphones will save my life going forward. The SkullCandy JIB are corded USB C headphones, they connect happily with your iPhone or iPad (iOS prompts to ask if you're connecting headphones, but just once and only the first time). The audio quality is surprisingly good, with the earbuds themselves being small enough to fit tightly in your ear (spare tips are included). There's an inline mic with volume controls, plus you can also pause and restart your music or movie. I do wish the cord was a little thicker, but for the life saving benefit of having a pair of corded backup headphones the SkullyCandy JIB are a must have and I plan to take with me everywhere.

Summary ------------ These are great headphones for the price and sometimes when you run out of juice on your wireless headset, this is the go to headset when all the laptops and phones are getting rid of the 3.5mm, type C is the only option. Pros ------ 1. Type C connection 2. Excellent fit and Bass 3. Extremely low price 4. Call and Track control Cons ------- 1. None so far Details ---------- Love the minimalistic design and the cost factor of these headphones. These are my go-to headphones because I always forget to charge my headphones. The Bass on the device is good as well when I tried playing music. I also use these for Zoom calls and when testing for audio, I did some good amount of testing on the zoom calls and the other side could hear me pretty well. For the price, this is a great asset to have, My go-to headphones with minimalistic design and this also comes with a 1 year warranty and knowing skullcandy products which are of pretty good quality, i dont think i will ever need to use the warranty claim

Skullcandy has been around the block. They are most commonly known as fashion headphones that make relatively affordable headphones/earphones compared to other fashion headphone companies. In regards to sound, they mainly cater towards younger people who want a bass-heavy set. If you want the best audio for money, The JIB USB-C is not it. However, if you want a pair of beater earphones that you won't mind breaking or losing, then this is more along those lines. The Skullcandy JIB USB-C does not stray too far from its predecessor. The form factor is virtually identical to the JIB wired earbuds with the only difference being that it is USB-C and not a 3.5mm plug. The unboxing experience isn't meant to be spectacular. I will note that my pair out of the box were a little dusty so I had to take a alcohol swab and wipe it down before use. Then, you are ready to plug and play. The build quality is just cheap plastic and I do have questions about it's long-term durability. Putting it in my ears, I was happy with how tight they fit and they do a fairly decent job with the passive noise blocking. However, one thing to note is that you can hear whenever the cord is touched or rubs against your shirt. It can be fairly annoying at times when you are walking and the cord is bouncing up and down. This means that it functions poorly as workout earphones. They are fine for travel and just casual use. They are fairly comfortable and I had no problem wearing them for hours on end. The sound quality is not going to be mind-blowing. It is pretty bass heavy. The details of different songs were able to be heard but not clean and crisp. All in all, the target of the Skullcandy JIB USB-C obviously are not audiophiles. If you just want something cheap for travel purposes, then this is something to consider.

If I had to summarize the Skullcandy JIB USB-C headphones in a nutshell, I would say they are an all-around solid and a rather standard option if you want to find something simple and reliable. The sound quality is good and are propelled by phone or laptop features like Dolby Atmos for Headphones They do not earn that rating because they are bad; rather, I give them 3.5simply because they are average-there is really no other way to say it. They are super comfortable in the ears; in fact, I never had to change them over for the included additional set of ear-cushions, since the originals fit me perfectly right out of the box. The packaging was very bare bones (which is fine) . You get what you have paid for, nothing more, nothing less. Wire length from ear to pocket is just right. It's long enough so that it does not feel restricting, yet short enough to prevent it from becoming tangled. There are some very simple tap controls on the mic: single tap pause & play, double tap to skip, triple tap to replay. This is pretty much standard with most Skullcandy buds so it's great to see this return. One of the main perks of having wired headphones is that you don't have to concern ypurself with battery life. In many ways, this is huge plus over wireless buds. If you like them, then it means you don't have to worry about charging them. Overall, they make for a good dependable backup pair or a pretty decent daily driver if you're not looking for that premium sound. 3.5/5

These Skullcandy Jib earbuds take me back to the days when ear buds actually came with your phone. Sound-wise, I would say these actually sound better than those classic wired earbuds you’d get in the box. These Skullcandy Jib earbuds are good for casual listening during work or just walking. Personally, where I feel like the drop the ball a bit is in the built quality. The first thing I don’t like much is the length of the USB-C cable. It is ridiculously long. There’s no way to keep it tidy, so it just looks messy unless you tuck it under your shirt. I honestly don’t get why it’s this long when most people are just going to keep their phone or music player in their pocket. A shorter, more manageable cable would’ve been way better. As for the microphone, you’re probably better off just using the built-in mic on your phone. The sound quality is what saves these earbuds They actually sound pretty decent. I work from home and so I like to listen to some music or jump on webinars from time to time. The sound almost provides a hint of noise cancellation (even though they technically don’t), which it was nice surprise. I’m giving these 4 out of 5 stars, mainly because of the sound quality. That’s the most important thing for me, and they do the job well enough. But they could easily be 5 stars if Skullcandy had just included a storage case and a better cable design. Still, if all you care about is sound, these will definitely get the job done.

We all love bluetooth earbuds to free us from the cables and simplify our music and podcast listening on the go. However sometimes a good set of wireless buds is not price efficient for every budget in these uncertain times. Which is why, I assume, SkullCandy brought us these Jib USB-C ear buds (which utilize a USB-C connection instead of the old timey AUX port most electronics have done away with). No special app or software required, you simply plug them into your USB-C port and enjoy your music and sounds in the privacy of your own head. Small comfortable ear buds on one end with a 4 foot cord (1.5 meters, if you prefer) and a minimalist control near the Y-split. The control has two clickable ends which using the instructions you can skip, rewind, forward, and adjust volume depending which end of the control you click and how many clicks you perform. For small buds the sound is really good, there isn’t that kind of tinny “squashed” sound to the music I listened to which some ear buds have. Spoken word or podcast audio is also fine but that didn’t really surprise me. I don’t know that anything revolutionary is happening under the hood, if you know Skullcandy you know the quality of the product and these are not going to disappoint or blow your mind. However, if you need a wired set of earbuds for any reason these are going to need to be on the top of your list because of how comfortable they are and the better than average sound quality they provide while being more modern in their ability to connect to your devices newer than 5 years old (USB-C connection vs. the practically extinct AUX port).

I was very skeptical about Skullcandy Wired Earbuds in this age of wireless highly priced ones. I was very wrong! Small and compact, these black Skullcandy earbuds come with a nice long USB-C cord that works with the latest Apple and Samsung smartphones. They are light and compact and put out a punch on high volumes that fills my ears with clear treble sound and great bass notes. I really like the idea of using these wired earbuds for travel. When your rechargeable earbuds run out of juice and need to be recharged, guess which ones will continue to produce great sound for you? These wired Skullcandy earbuds do the trick! Just plug them into your smartphone and you are back in business. They do not need to be recharged to work. The Skullcandy earbuds also come ready to answer incoming phone calls. At the click of an in-line toggle button, you can answer the call and an in-line microphone allows you to talk to the caller. If you are listening to music when the call comes in, just click toe toggle and take the call. The toggle also allows you to skip forward or backward when listening to music. The Skullcandy wired-earbuds provide noise a cancelling fit allowing you to enjoy music without outside noise interrupting your enjoyment. A one-year global warranty is provided by Skullcandy. I really like these new USB-C wired Skullcandy earbuds a lot and recommend them highly!

Wow! What a blast from the past! I was so excited when I saw these headphones were available. Skull Candy has stepped up their game since I last owned a pair of wired headphones. To say I've been happy with these would be an understatement. The sound quality is absolutely amazing! I love that they are not big and bulky. I love the fact that they have different sizes that you so you can adjust to fit your ear. The sound quality is impeccable and better than I remember it. The length of the wiring is great as well. I wish that phones still came with the audio Jack instead of in the charging port, but that is no fault of Skull Candy or the quality of the headphones. Skullcandy made this Plug and Play easy, making the lack of an audio jack on my phone less of an issue. If you're worried about charging while listening, there are splitters available from other companies. I think my only complaint is the fact that they do not come with a little carry bag like my old pair used to. I would highly recommend getting these for anyone that does not like to use the Bluetooth headphones.

These headphones headphones are simple, yet effective. They are light weight, but don't necessarily feel "cheap" in use. I almost exclusively have used these for calls either on the computer or the phone and I think they will work great for almost everyone in that space. Pros: I have been quite surprised by the sound quality and crispness of the earbuds. I have been used to "higher end" and wireless headphones for awhile and have been happy with the clarity on these. They are by no means an audiophiles dream, but in the right use case (primarily calls) the range is adequate and the buds fill the ear nicely (with one additional earpiece option) to be able to hear things clearly with adequate range. I have also been told the microphone is fairly good. Cons: It still has a cord. If you are like me, you have grown very acoustemed to the freedom of wireless headphones. While there are plenty of times when a wired option is fine, it is noticeable if you are not used to it. Ultimately these headphones serve their purpose well. if you need a reliable set of headphones for calls without delay/ interference, pick these up and toss them in your bag.

First of all, packaging is what you'd expect, clean and looked great. The box and what was on it was well thought out. The headphones were extraordinarily light, but did not feel cheap. these plugged and played into multiple devices with no issue. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, M series Macbook Pro, and a few more things. The finish is nice and allows for easy cleaning. I dropped these several times at the gym and on walks with no issues impacting the audio quality. Audio quality I would add are solid. You won't get the deepest basses, but the vocals and everything else are crisp and what you'd expect from Skullcandy. The length of the wire was long enough to not get caught and tangled on everything and still provide adequate reach if your device is in a pocket. If you're looking for a solid earbud to bring with you everywhere (because they don't take a lot of space) and hate the headache of charging, these are going to be the ones you want to buy and not worry about. The color is the only thing that could be improved. I'd love to see some collaborations on these models with artists to be more playful.

The Skullcandy Jib is one of the cheapest offerings that offers the very very basic. Even with the low price tag, I found it lacking in every aspect while daily-driving for the last week or so. The uniqueness is that these are wired earbuds using a USB-C terminal. So even without a headphone jack, I was able to use my Android phone, tablet and PC without any issue or setup - nothing to pair/sync etc. - just plug n play. However, the uniqueness stops here, and the mundaneness begins. The build is average for the price point. To be honest, if you’re familiar with chi-fi, you’d know that there’s so much better earbuds with greater build and finishes. The plastic casing makes it very lightweight, and it fits pretty well inside my ear canal, but there’s nothing exceptional. The tips (“eargels”) are also again so so. Passive noise cancellation is not bad, especially when I got the fit right. The inline remote is a welcome as it also houses a microphone, so very convenient to jump into calls. However it only has one functional button, so no volume control. With my Android phone I was able to use it for call receive, play/pause, tracking forward/reverse, and also pull up the voice assistant with a long press. Now comes the main part - sound. This is always a very subjective matter. Typically Skullcandy’s are tuned very bass heavy, which is not my ally. I listen to a wide variety of genres and have come to appreciate a rather “clean” sound rather than a sharp V that a lot of people like. However, while other headphones from Skullcandy offered something unique in their tuning, the Jib just had bass. Vocals were not very prominent, and in general I didn’t like listening to music with it for any extended period of time. I believe this can EQ’d a bit, but I don’t see any app offered by Skullcandy to do that, and I didn’t feel like muddling with a PEQ app. But the worst I found is the microphonics. The cable noise was very distracting for my taste - every time I moved around or turned by head I could be near it very very prominently. This is especially distracting when I was exercising and listening to a podcast, it was almost unusable. Overall I am a bit disappointed. There’s so much better solution in the market even at this low price point that this wouldn't make my cut for regular.

What I liked: Decent sound for the price. Does the job. Inexpensive. What I didn't like: Cheaply made. Cable is too short. Cable flexibility stinks. Wire covering doesn't 'give' enough. Constantly swatting the cable out of the way. Earbuds are tiny. That can be good or bad. For my big fingers it made it difficult to place in my ears. Cheap earbud tip material. Thin, smooth, falls out of my ears easily. Doesn't provide enough tip sizes. You have 3 total, and they come in a cheap plastic bag. Packaging is on the cheap. On the one hand that is good for the environment. On the other hand there's nothing worth saving to store the earbuds when not in use. Good for the landfill, bad for keeping things organized. Verdict - I consider these spontaneous buy earbuds when you are in need, and there's not much else. They might work for you. I'm not that much of a fan. Too inexpensive to bother returning for a refund. Perhaps that is the point. IMPORTANT! These only worked on certain USB-C devices, they did not work on my portable MP4 devices. Probably because the USB-C ports are for power only. They did work in my Samsung S23 Ultra mobile phone. Be aware they may not work in your devices. From online search results: "USB Audio Class and Audio Alternate Mode USB-C supports audio transmission through USB Audio Class and Audio Alternate Mode1. To determine if a USB-C port supports audio output, check for Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) and Audio Accessory Mode (AAM)2. However, even if a port supports Alt Mode or AAM, the manufacturer may not have implemented audio output capabilities2." Would I buy again. No. Well, yes maybe but only if I was desperate I would because they are inexpensive.

I’m not too sure about the Skullcandy JIB USB-C headphones. They’ve left me feeling a bit conflicted. I’ll do my best to list some pros and cons and then you can decide for yourself. Pros — — These headphones are inexpensive — and we all know that you tend to get what you pay for. That being said, they produce decent sound and have decent stereo separation. — They have a USB-C plug which (finally) makes them pretty much universal between Android and iPhone…at least newer iPhones. — The in-line mic allows for voice command, forward/back song selection, and play/pause. Whilst in a phone conversation, it’s easy to grab and cover the mic with your fist. Nobody wants to hear you sneeze. — Once inserted, the earbuds are comfortable. No irritation after long periods of time. Cons — — These are probably the most cheaply made headphones I’ve ever encountered. The ergonomics of the individual earbuds makes it so there’s very little to grab ahold of to insert them into your ear canal…at least with my fat fingers. — The plastic used for the mic ‘control box’ just seems cheap — and it’s placed too close to the right-hand bud, just under my jaw bone. In my opinion, this should end up below my chin on my upper chest area. — The cable used is most likely the thinnest gauge possible, and it’s a side-by-side style cable (the kind you can split apart) — instead of a single, dual-core cable with a nice ‘silicone feel’ to it. These headphones easily get in a tangled mess pretty quickly because of this. Also, I'm not sure how they'd hold up in a workout environment. Now, if you can put up with these minor issues, and if you realize going in that you’re not getting audiophile sound reproduction, you might want to go for these. Shoot, at this price point why not get two.

So not expect wireless features from this set of wired earbuds. I repeat, do not expect to get the same experience you get from non wired ear buds from these earbuds that DO have wires going from earbud to earbud to phone. You will be surprised or disappointed or just misled at the very least and it wil be your own fault. Now having said that, if you are still me and understand that these go in you hear and will dangle and flip flop around possibly with your phone if it isn’t tucked away then you will will actually enjoy this headset. I’ve sat in my bed and listen to a podcast. I’ve gone a walk and watched a YouTube video, I’ve jogged and listens to music and the only time I had any issue was the bouncing up and down while running and it wasn’t too bothersome. The sound quality is really good. The phone call feature is good as well. Out and about you get the wind feedback but you can hear and they can hear to an extent nothing groundbreaking. Storing is a slight headache so I bought a cheap pouch and put them in my purse. Problem solved.

If you remember wired headphones from the early 2000s, this is basically the same thing but with an updated plug to go into a USB-C rather than a headphone jack. On the plus side, there is no app to download or setting to play with in order to get the headphones to work. You just plug them in and you're good to go. The sound is reasonably well isolated based on how these fit in the ear (your milage may vary...). It's good. Nothing amazing, but not bad. If you haven't used wired headphones before, be aware that any contact with the wire will cause vibrations to go straight into your ears, so it is possible for there to be a fair amount of noise, depending on how active you are while wearing. The microphone in the wire is an updated classic. The whole thing is a button so that you can play/pause/answer/hang up. If you hold it for a full second, you get your helper of choice (Google, Siri, whatever). Otherwise, it is definitely a throwback. If you remember people walking around holding the wire up to get that microphone in front of their mouth, that's what you'll be doing again. If you don't, you sound very far away and tinny to those on the other end of the call. Depending on the price and your need, these may be worth having. If for some reason you cannot have blutooth headphones, these are descent. I'd say they're worth about $15 or so...
