Whats Included

Skullcandy INK'D WIRELESS
2 gel ear tips (small
Medium)

Q: The light consistently blinks red and blue when I turn the device on. What does this mean? I've charged it, turned blue. Took it off the charger and powered it on and it just blinks red and blue???

A: One sound mates is blinking blue on the right on the left it isn’t blinking

Q: How long does it take to charge. Does the light change from red to blue.

A: It charges quickly, I just leave them for about half an hour and it's good after that. They hold a charge for quite a long time. I charge mine about every four to five days. The light does go from red to blue when they are fully charged.

Q: Can it EASILY skip to the next song and if so how? I have a pair of regular skull candy (wired) earphones that were suppose to do this and never did.

A: There is a way to skip the song. If you hold down the + button, it will then skip to the next song. If you hold down the - button, it goes back to the previous song.

Q: My Skullcandy buds won't charge. I had them plugged in overnight and they didn't charge at all. I blew out the USB port with compressed air to see if there was lint in it or something but still no charge when I plugged it in, Do I need a new battery?

A: Make sure too peel the little white stickers off the headphones! I thought mine were broken for the first 3 days

Q: Are they water/sweat proof?

A: Yes. I wear them while running.

Q: Does the sound really rock on these earbuds? And if so then how long would they last after being purchased?

A: Yes the sound does great and I've had mine a year their still doing good

Q: How Long does the charge last

A: In stand by they have lasted 10-12 hours and with constant use 6-8 hours. The higher the volume is set with the earbuds the shorter the battery life.

Q: Do these come with a charger ?

A: They come with the standard micro usb to usb charging cable but do not include a 120V plug adapter.

Nice Motorcyclist bluetooth headset!
These are great and I'm surprised by the sound these buds can produce! was skeptical of the inked series buds fitment but they do not fall out as easily as you expect. With the battery and controls on a neck piece, this allow the buds to feel lighter in the ear and less cumbersome than the BT headsets with battery/controls on the buds. This allows the user to easily use one headphone if they're in an environment that requires one ear to be free. Something to be mindful of, the neck piece has a relaxed fit, meaning if you're too active they will fall and yank the buds out you ear. Walking or just moving around a work space will sit just fine. Controls are simple, to volume up/down, you just have to press plus or minus button. To change tracks you have to hold plus or minus. Play and pause, press the center, and to power on/off, you just have to hold the center. Though changing tracks seems to take a while when holding down the controlls than I'd like. Sound quality is great for the price and nothing sounds muddy if you have good quality music streaming through. Bass is very present with the proper seal. I recommend inserting the earbuds like you would foam ear plugs, pulling the ear back and inserting the headphone. (FYI: it gets a little tougher to get a good seal if there's some ear wax present of if you're sweating (keep'em clean and dry'em out!). MOTORCYCLE STUFF: These fit great under a full face helmet if you aim the wire from the buds as straight down as possible. Of course if one gets loose, you'll need to finagle a finger to set the ear bud back in place (as with any earbud) With large buttons and light textures for the three buttons, the controls are very easy to distinguish with (summer) gloves on. Wouldn't try to answering a call while riding, there is no wind noise reduction to help out especially since the microphone is integrated with the controls (which will be on your neck out in the elements)

Nice headphones
I bought these headphones almost a month ago and used it for couple of times as of now and found it very convenient to pair/ use. These are light weight and easy to carry however mic is not of high quality and result in distortion of voice.
